A number of limited color vinyl variants are planned, with pre-orders available through found.ee/humanclay25.
Furthermore, the band are also rolling out HD remastered versions of the music videos for the record via their YouTube. Vocalist Scott Stapp commented of the album and its forthcoming anniversary extravaganza:
“Twenty-five years ago, we could have never guessed we’d be celebrating ‘Human Clay”s lasting impact while embarking on a whole new chapter together in 2024. Then and now, it’s the fans who’ve embraced these songs and found a deeper connection to them as they’ve progressed in their lives. Now, we’re reconnecting with these songs like it’s the first time and seeing the impact on a whole new generation.”
