[edit] Trivia
- “PTF2012” can be seen as a reference to the Mayan Calendar doomsday, 21 December 2012.
- “Schweigeminute” is a one-minute silence
- On “Forsaken”, “If you’re frightened of dying, and you’re holding on — you’ll see devils tearing your life away. If you made your peace — then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth” is from the movie Jacob’s Ladder.
- Ronan Harris often refers to Praise The Fallen as a way of self-help through a difficult time of his life — in particular the track “Forsaken”, of which a vocal version was recorded. This version, when sung live, is an emotional experience for Ronan, and he has been known to break down in tears.
