Its lead single “In The Shadows” received 6x Gold and 2x Platinum certifications, selling over 1 million copies and was nominated for Kerrang! Awards “Best Single” in 2004. The album won in five categories at the 2004 Finnish EMMA Awards, earned the band “Best Nordic Act” honors at 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards and garnered two awards for “Best International Artist” and “Best International Newcomer” at the 2004 MTV Russia Music Awards.
