This was also Hatchet's first album to chart in the US, peaking at number 23 on Billboards Top Heatseekers chart, and the band released three videos in order to promote the album: "Desire for Oppression", "Silent Genocide" and "Back Into Dust". Hatchet toured non-stop in support of Dying to Exist, playing with bands like Kataklysm, Exhorder, Exmortus, The Absence, Krisiun, Novareign, Immortal Guardian, Black Fast and Micawber.
