Recorded and mixed in Grieghallen Studio, September 1994.
Exclusively "Battled" by Abbath and Demonaz.
Executive production: Osmose Productions '95.
The tracklisting on the original CD is incorrect. The correct listing is shown here.
The promo (pictured below) and first version of the album suffered from a bad mix, consequently receiving terrible reviews in press. Due to this, a better mix was issued to replace the original - this version is the one most commonly heard and distributed.
CD versions:
• Original jewelcase
• Digipack (two different versions exist; one with an embossed logo and title, and one without)
• Limited edition jewelcase (includes slipcover and fold-out poster, as well as the
1991 EP as bonus tracks).
Warning - Osmose CD presses from February 2001 up to around 2005 may contain a copy-protection method which renders the CD completely unreadable in PCs and certain modern Hi-Fi systems. This isn't indicated anywhere on the packaging.
