The demo was recorded during a period when Phil was the only remaining member of the band, thus all instruments were recorded by himself. The demo was re-released on tape by Karge Welten Kunstverlag in 2008 and features the bonus track "Where the Sea Demons Dwell", wich is an early demo-version of the song "Thy Flesh Consumed" featured on "Stream of Misery". There is a bootleg CD-R version which features an unknown bonus-track. It is not an Ophis-recording. |
