There are also two promo versions of this single: first with only one track - "Symphony of Destruction (Radio Mix)", second with "Symphony of Destruction (Edited Gristle)" and "Symphony of Destruction (The Gristle Mix)". Remix on the second version was made by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, and the CD is called simply "Symphony...".

"Go to Hell" was recorded to be part of the soundtrack for the movie "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" (1991). This song was published before the song "Enter Sandman" by Metallica in the same year. The coincidences of both songs are some musical similarities, and above all a phrase included in both songs that comes from a lullaby called "Now I Lay My Down to Sleep" from the 18th century.
