Additional notes
Summoning's first song with programmed drums, (recorded spring 1995), was featured exclusively on the 1995 Napalm Records compilation CD "With Us Or Against Us".

Michael Gregor and Mike Gröger (Raventhrone (Can), Hollenthon) are not the same person!

The "Sounds of Middle-Earth" 5 PIC LP Box set contains "Lugburz", "Minas Morgul" and "Dol Guldur". This is the first time Summoning material is available on vinyl format.

Please do NOT add the "Dark Ages I" demo, since it's an internet bootleg consisting of 4 songs from the "Anno Mortiri Domini" demo.
