Amorphis
Privilege of Evil
[Relapse]


I'm not sure, but I think this was originally supposed to be material used on a split with Incantation a long time ago. Chronologically, I think this stuff was recorded before their first full-length. It's got four songs that were used on the album 'The Karelian Isthmus'. On this EP, though, they're in a rawer form and rather cool to hear that way. Two of the six tracks, "Privilege of Evil" and "Excursing from Existence", aren't on any other releases as far as I know and are pretty damn cool. "Pilgrimage from Darkness" was also retitled simply "The Pilgrimage" for 'The Karelian Isthmus'. This isn't something that really needs to be part of the everyday extreme metal fan's collection, but if you're an Amorphis fan, it's worth getting.
