Dutch label Displeased released the album in Europe in 2000 and Relapse handled the American release.

The label also handled early Metallica releases in the Scandinavian region.

The label will be handling all of the band's booking and management for the Middle East and North Africa region.

The independent labels, on the other hand, may handle only a handful of releases.

The labels will do the mastering, prepare the tape for downloading, supply artwork and liner notes to the digital music services, and handle promotion costs.

The band, unhappy with the way the newly formed label had been handling them, asked for a release from their contract, to which the label agreed.

However, Converge became dissatisfied with the way the label was handling the release and over charging fans for their hard to find older songs.

No further news has been released on the status of the new album and the band has not confirmed if Epitaph or a new label will handle it.

It's easy to see how a larger label would handle the costs better than a smaller label like his.

Unfortunately, the band's label, Challenge Records, couldn't handle the distribution, and the single only reached number 45.
