The visual Art was imagined and realized by the talented French Artist Dehn Sora (ULVER, BLUT AUS NORD, NEUROSIS) and can be seen in bigger size here.
This somptuous anthology will be officially unleashed on CD, vinyl and digital format this coming January 17th 2014. Both CD and vinyl edition will be available directly through the label a bit earlier, around mid-December 2013.
A few words from the band about this special release : „Before we truly come back to life withMANES, we figured we’d dig up some dead stuff for everyone to enjoy. This is a collection of odds and ends that on the surface might seem to appeal mostly to the most die-hard completist, but listening to it ourselves we find it works surprisingly well on its own. It is at times very lo-fi and not at all polished, but swamped in atmosphere and nostalgia, at least for us.”
