The original Japanese release includes "Dead Souls" between "Big Man With A Gun" and "A Warm Place".
The album was supported by a major tour that lasted nearly two years. It circled North America a few times and also visited Europe and Australia. The shows were very intense and included well-programmed lighting and very aggressive performances, with a few injuries and many instruments being mangled in the process. Techs for the tour were tasked with going to pawn shops to buy surplus instruments to be destroyed onstage. E-mu Emax II samplers were set up offstage and Yamaha DX7 keyboards were used as MIDI controllers to trigger them.[https://nindestruct.com/mags/KeyboardFeb95.html][https://www.theninhotline.com/archives/articles/display/630] A co-headlining leg with David Bowie, referred to as the [[Dissonance]] tour, took place in 1995. The tour culminated with a few club dates showcasing artists that were on [[Nothing Records]]. Portions of the tour were documented and released as part one of the ''Closure'' double VHS in 1997.

All of these songs have been played live. Obviously, they were featured during the Self-Destruct Tour, though "Heresy" was played only during the warm-up shows in 1994 and disappeared from live shows until 2007.
