The cut-out part is only a little puncture, not a proper cut through, please see picture n.2 .
The majority of the album’s contents had been released on artists’ respective albums at the time.
Some were unreleased though (Coroner, Vendetta), Kreator's song was only available on a limited edition picture disc, and Voivod's song was also only available on the MC version of their Killing Technology
album, as well as a limited edition picture disc, although it had also
been included on later releases of the album since then as well.The liner notes includes most lyrics, band members/instruments
played, where the songs were recorded, album they were available on, and
the acting producer. Also, the members of Coroner's real names of
Roland Broder,
Thomas Vetterli, and
Markus Edelmann
were used for the first time ever, as they had gone by (respectively)
their stage names of Ron Royce, Tommy T. Baron, and Marquis Marky on all
of their releases. This was the first of a series of Doomsday News albums, as "Doomsday News 2" was also released, along with "Doomsday News III, Thrashing East Live".
