It was provided to celebrate their tenth year, sales of 250,000 albums in Europe and the United States.[5]

The group promoted the album with a European tour.[5]

It contains three demo versions of tracks that were included on the band's 1998 studio album Triumph of Mercy. The song "God Rulz" is a re-recorded version of the track "The Majestic Infiltration of Order" from both Mortification's self-titled debut studio album and their Break the Curse demo album. A reissue of Hammer of God was released in 2008 on Metal Mind Productions, which removed one of the demo tracks and included three bonus tracks. In 2021, a reissue was released by Soundmass with new remastering, five bonus tracks, an updated cover, and a second disc containing the 10 Years Live Not Dead album.

Reception

Cross Rhythms gave the album a 9/10.
