SPECIAL VINYL REISSUE ON SINGLE SIDED WHITE VINYL WITH SILKSCREENED B-SIDE!!!
The "Sarmutius pegorus" promo tape was recorded in 1997. At that time, Varathron was searching for a label, so the band sent copies of this tape to record labels. There are three tracks on that demo. The first song is The Grim Palace, which appears also on the re-release of His Majesty At The Swamp CD (released in 2001) as bonus song and as regular song in a slightly different version on their Crowsreign album (released in 2004). This song really kicks ass! The second track is Spirit Of the Tomb, a calm instrumental. Last song is The Vision Of A Nameless Soul, again a great Black Metal song in the typical Varathron style. The last two songs will appear also on the Crowsreign album, but as new recordings. After that promo tape, Varathron got a deal with Polish Pagan Records, which released in 1998 the "The Lament Of Gods" mini CD. These songs was a strong energy injection for one of the best Hellenic Black metal bands along with Rotting Christ and Necromantia and display a terrific raw assault with the killer addition of the "warm" approach typical of Greek Black metal. HIGHLY reccomended!
