From the label:
«This release is one of the reasons why Kyrck exists, managing to bring forth 20 year old Norwegian lost gems. One of the biggest surprises I had, TAARENES VAAR created in 1992 and after various line up changes releasing 2 demos in 96 and 97 in very low quantities. Eerie early Thorns riffs mixed with 3rd and the Mortal and Ved Buens Ende (also sharing Carl Michael at some point and early Ulver members) could be an accurate description of TAARENES VAAR, avant-garde black metal in its true meaning.»

LP comes in black and mint colored LPs limited to 200 each including poster, price 18 euros.
CD limited at 1000 copies, price 12 euros.
CD A5 leather book, price 22 euros.
