The sole studio track is the first officially released studio recording of "Charades", with the revised title "The Charade". This song was known to have been considered for System of a Down's Hypnotize album and a rehearsal was recorded, a brief excerpt of which appears on the DVD side of that album's dualdisc edition. It was not included on the album, but a live version appeared on the Axis of Justice compilation the following year. The version on Elect the Dead Symphony is the first studio recording of the song to be released, and has also been released as a single. A live version of the song also appears on the album.

Elect the Dead Symphony was released on February 23, 2010 on iTunes and March 9, 2010 in all other formats.
