MTV hosted an entire hour for the film A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master which featured Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger and guest Vinnie Vincent promoting the music video. A third track from the album, "Ashes to Ashes" also received some radio airplay.
The band opened for Iron Maiden on their massive Somewhere in Time tour to support the album but broke up after the completion of the tour.
The singles "That Time of Year" and "Love Kills" are 2 of 4 Vinnie Vincent Invasion songs featured on the 2008 tribute album "KISS MY ANKH: A Tribute To Vinnie Vincent." "That Time of Year" features Sheldon Tarsha of Adler's Appetite, Ryan Roxie from the Alice Cooper band, Marko Pukkila of Altaria and Troy Patrick Farrell of White Lion. "Love Kills" was recorded by Vic Rivera and Kelli McCloud.[3]
On the 2003 remastered CD-version as released by Chrysalis Records manufactured by EMI/Capitol Records, the running time for 'Love Kills' is 4:36. Vaious parts of Vinnie's solo as well as even some verses have been shorted by either cutting out a couple bars of music or a couple of lines of lyrics. [4]
