The music video was influenced by Nazi propaganda films, including that of Leni Riefenstahl.
The video was nominated for two 1997 MTV Video Music Awards: Best Rock Video and Best Special Effects.
Marilyn Manson's 2004 greatest hits compilation, Lest We Forget, contains a slightly reworked version of the track. The longer introduction from the single version has been restored, and certain musical elements (most notably, an organ-like sound not noticeable in the previously released versions) have been made more pronounced.
The video was filmed in the then abandoned Gooderham and Worts distillery in Toronto, Canada.
The song itself was co-produced by Academy Award-winning Nine Inch Nails singer Trent Reznor, who at the time was Marilyn Manson's mentor, confidant and music producer.
