"Cease To Exist" had been previously recorded by the Beach Boys under the name "Never Learn Not To Love", and appears on their 1969 album, 20/20, and as the B-side of the single of "Bluebirds Over The Mountain". The single gives songwriting credit to Manson and Dennis Wilson. Manson is not given co-writing credit on the album.
Portions of the album have been sampled by many other artists, such as Front Line Assembly. Many of the songs have also been re-recorded; a version of "Look At Your Game, Girl" appears at the very end of Guns 'n Roses's album The Spaghetti Incident?.
All proceeds from the current version of the album, released by Awareness Records, are donated to a California fund for victims of violent crime.
