Commented guitarist Esa Holopainen: "Director Owe Lingvall did a great job with 'Silver Bride'. We are very happy how the video came out and it really serves the song."

The "Silver Bride" single recently topped the national chart in the band's home country.

The "Silver Bride" single includes the radio-edit and full-length album versions of the title cut along with the non-album track "Separated".
