Features the bonus track “Enslaved”, from the Enslaved split with Satyricon “Yggdrasill”, released in 1992

«Paired with the re-issue of “Axioma Ethica Odini”, as these two Enslaved-albums also form an important pair musically; as many of the bands releases do, forming pairs in dynamics sonically and conceptually. Already somewhat of a “cult classic”, this is the album where the production philosophy of “new era” Enslaved was born, through the mentoring of mixer Joe Baressi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins) – recorded in Studio Studio, owned and operated by TNT lead guitarist Ronnie Le Tekrø (who also guests on the album).

This re-issue features two very rare cover-tracks recorded during Enslaved legendary live-appearance at Henie Onstad Museum, Oslo, Norway - in May 2011; one is Rush’s “Earthshine” while the other is King Crimson’s instrumental “Red”. These covers set the rest of the album into context through highlighting two main influences for Enslaved’s evolution from especially “Vertebrae” and onwards.

The re-issue features in-depth liner notes written and edited by writer and long-time friend of the band Chris Dick; known for his decades of writing for the American Metal-magazine Decibel Magazine. The liner notes are written in the style of an in-depth and extensive interview with all five members on the album, where many new angles and golden nuggets of information never before divulged publicly.

The design of the album is beautifully redone with new details, colors layout solutions by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Kreator, Machine Head), all while staying true to the original artwork by longtime Enslaved-cover artist Truls Espedal.

ENSLAVED è una delle migliori band della scena METAL norvegese, un gruppo che negli anni ha evoluto il proprio stile da un BLACK VIKING METAL cattivissimo ad una sorta di PROGRESSIVE EXTREME METAL con atmosfere EPIC e PSYCHEDELIC. Questo CD contiene le registrazioni del mitico secondo demo tape del 1992, nastro che fruttò agli Enslaved il contratto con l’ etichetta Deathlike Silence.. ed il resto è storia !
Nel CD troverete una BONUS TRACK, testi e note scritte dai membri del gruppo.
