The album featured one single in the track "Believe in Nothing", which was covered by All That Remains on their 2008 album, Overcome. It was also covered by Firewind in 2008, on the Century Media covers album "Covering 20 Years Of Extremes."
In 2005, Dead Heart in a Dead World was ranked number 361 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
