Touring and promotion
editDuring 2006 and 2007, 32 Leaves supported the album on tour and shared stages with such acts as 10 Years, Crossfade, Dredg, Evans Blue, Fair To Midland, Smile Empty Soul, and Trapt.
The track "All is Numb" had a music video and found considerable airplay on the Sirius Satellite Radio station, Octane. It would remain in the Top 5 of the 'Octane Top 20 Countdown' for at least 10 weeks. While the track boasts a commercially accessible sound, its interlude contains profanity in the repeated line, "I guess my thinking too much is what's been fucking me up." This may point to its exclusion from conventional radio. The song "Blood on My Hands" also had a video produced for it. In 2007, "Waiting" appeared on the soundtrack to the video game FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage.
