Shortly after the release of Converge's 2004 album "You Fail Me" through Epitaph Records, Equal Vision reissued remasters of "Petitioning the Empty Sky" and "When Forever Comes Crashing". The updated version of "Petitioning the Empty Sky" featured new artwork from Isis frontman Aaron Turner, production work from Converge's Kurt Ballou in addition to Mike Poorman and Alan Douches, and an alternate version of "Love As Arson" as a bonus track. The liner notes also contain the first half of an essay written by the "Aggressive Tendencies" columnist and editor of the Canadian online magazine "Exclaim!", Chris Gramlich. The second part of the essay is continued in "When Forever Comes Crashing". The remaster was Equal Vision's EVR109 released on March 22, 2005.
