 * At 0:12, the track contains a sample of the Russian shortwave radio station [[wikipedia:UVB-76|UVB-76]], recorded on February 21st, 2006.<ref>{{#widget:YouTube|id=jOWExpS6q0c}}</ref> Known more widely as "The Buzzer", its broadcast consists of a repeating buzzing sound, which reserves the frequency. This buzzing is occasionally interrupted by short strings of numbers and text, like the one sampled on the track, which are presumed to be codes intended for military and/or intelligence purposes. This also appears to have been sampled on the [[2026_Promo_Campaign#VHS_Tape_Mailings|VHS tapes]] mailed to fans prior to the release of ''[[Inferno]]''.
