The mixtape was released for free on April 25, 2011 through the group's official website, thirdworlds.net. It was simultaneously released on streaming services. The track "Guillotine" was released as a single on August 3, 2011. "Guillotine" has become the band's most recognized song, with over 14 million YouTube views on their music video as of March 2023. Other tracks released as music videos include "Known For It", "Culture Shock", "Lord of the Game", "Spread Eagle Cross the Block", "Takyon (Death Yon)", and "Beware".

The cover of the album is somewhat of a mystery, even to members of the band. According to Andy Morin, "That’s a photograph that one of our members carried in their wallet for roughly 10 years straight. It’s a power object." This suggests that the image had no personal meaning to any of the members of the band, but was rather an artifact that ended up being an image that they defined themselves by to some degree. The original photograph is of an Aboriginal Australian man taken by Douglass Baglin in 1968 at Gunbalanya, Northern Territory, Australia called "Bearded Man at Oenpelli."

The album was later released exclusively through the band's website in vinyl and cassette format. It was also removed from streaming services due to unlicensed samples.
