On November 25, 2011, ๐”…๐”˜โ„œโ„จ๐”˜๐” released the compilation album ๐—™๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ต๐˜€ ๐—ข๐—ณ ๐——๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ via Byelobog Productions (later released in the US on December 6, 2011).



It consists of newly re-recorded tracks from ๐”…๐”˜โ„œโ„จ๐”˜๐”'s first two albums, ๐”…๐”˜โ„œโ„จ๐”˜๐” (1992) and ๐•ฏ๐–Š๐–™ ๐–˜๐–†๐–— ๐–Š๐–“๐–Œ๐–†๐–“๐–Œ ๐–›๐–†๐–— (1993), along with three new tracks.



Excellent re-recordings of Vargโ€™s early material, some songs are slightly slower or faster paced, and the mix is different than the originals. Recorded around the same time ๐•ญ๐–Š๐–‘๐–š๐–˜ was released, this has the same production and vocals as ๐•ญ๐–Š๐–‘๐–š๐–˜, giving these songs a much different vibe. Worth checking out if you are a fan.


Critical Reception:

In his review for Last Rites (yourlastrites.com), Konrad Kantor writes;

โ€œThe most positive thing about ๐—™๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ต๐˜€ ๐—ข๐—ณ ๐——๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ is that we now have both recordings. If โ„Œ๐”ณ๐”ฆ๐”ฐ ๐”๐”ถ๐”ฐ๐”ข๐”ฑ ๐”—๐”ž๐”ฏ ๐”’๐”ฐ๐”ฐ was too short for you, you now have an additional seven songs you can enjoy. If you think itโ€™s blasphemous and too profitable to be trve, nobody is forcing you to listen to this. On top of that, if the ferociousness of the old ๐”…๐”˜โ„œโ„จ๐”˜๐” with such a fresh productionย  is a sign of whatโ€™s to come, do not be surprised if ๐”…๐”˜โ„œโ„จ๐”˜๐” manages to pull an Album of the Year contender out of its hat, or burn down a church or two. Hell, at this point, anything is possible.โ€
