Annotation
Track 10 & 11 are bonus tracks for Japanese release.
Track 11 is cover of Iron Maiden's Track.
During the time of recording Black Earth, Arch Enemy was more of a solo project. Michael Amott wrote all of the songs and played bass guitar on the album. Although Johan Liiva is cited as playing the bass, Michael later stated in an interview that he had it credited that way to make it seem more of a "band effort." Christopher Amott, who was attending music college at the time, only contributed his leads on the album, leaving Michael to record all the rhythm tracks.
Recorded at Studio Fredman, February-March 1996; mixed, April 1996
Pre-mastered at the Mastering Room, Gothenburg
