Two tracks, one being a early version of "Where Dead Angels Lie," and the latter a fitting Tormentor cover. The first song is better than the "Storm of the Light's Bane" version; there is less polish on the production, and so it sounds much more like the Nordic underground music that was prevalent in the early half of the 90's. The scream after the acoustic break is still great. Production is dry and their is little depth to the instruments. Everything is precise, as is certainly characteristic of the band.

The Tormentor cover seems to be especially suiting for Dissection; simple and harmonic melody; a subtle hint of heavy metal influence; and the beginnings of the violence we would see later to come in the band. I have only heard the original version once, so I can't make any educated comparisons; it reminds me so much of Dissection that I had previously just assumed they had written the song in the first place.

By no means essential to get, especially because both songs are on the Nordic Metal tribute anyways.
