The official track listing is:
'Scared To Death'
'The Hit'

'Portrait Of A Hanged Man'
'Simple Servant'
'One Word'
'My Final Hour'
'A God No More' (featuring Andy LaRocque)

Vocalist Norman Skinner comments on the new material: "Imagika never wants to make the same record twice and I feel we have created another stand out album we can be proud of. This new album is more thrashy, raw, and in your face than its predecessor. We decided this time around to do away with some of the dynamics and keep things much more in the pocket with more concise arrangements and bigger hooks. With Portrait Of A Hanged Man” the fans can expect catchy, fast paced, heavy hitting songs.”
The band is in the planning stages of a tour to support the release in spring 2010.
