'Flight of the Warrior' was covered by HammerFall for their 2008 album Masterpieces.
The song "Thundersteel" was originally written by Mark Reale and Don Van Stavern for Narita, a short-lived project Reale formed with members of S.A.Slayer following the demise of Riot in 1984. A demo released by Narita exists, with "Thundersteel" and two other tracks, "Liar" and "The Feeling Is Gone".
