"Trampled Under Hoof", "Trilobite", "Where Strides the Behemoth", "Crusher Destroyer" and "Mother Puncher" were all played on a [[WFMU]] radio show on August 7, 2001.

<blockquote>"My sister committed suicide when I was 15 (she was 14)...I was never able to put that stuff anywhere. All that pain I was carrying inside. The pain of losing her had always been there. With [[Today Is the Day]], there was a lot of anger involved. After that, I didn't want to be angry. When I start playing in Mastodon and moved to Atlanta, there was a big personal healing. Mastodon had a lot to do with that. That's one of the main reasons that the album is titled Remission. Remission means forgiveness and healing. Mastodon helped me do that: Forgive a lot of things that happened in my life."<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.lollipop.com/article.php3?content=issue66/f-mastodon.html | title = An Interview with drummer Brann Dailor | access-date = 13 October 2009}}</ref></blockquote>

It had significant airplay on both ''[[Uranium (TV series)|Uranium]]'' and ''[[Headbangers Ball]]'' and featured dark elements such as a man being dug up and placed in a throne.


A deluxe edition of the album, folded in digipak, contained a bonus DVD with a professionally filmed nine song live set recorded at The Masquerade in [[Atlanta, Georgia]], on December 1, 2002, along with previously unreleased material.
