This CD is divided in two parts - the first part is a live recording and the second part is a rehearsal recording without audience. Both recordings are from 1990. The first one is from the very first black metal show in Greece along with Rotting Christ and Death Courier at the Rock Palais Club in Kastella, Piraeus where Mayhem were supposed to play too at the same gig, but according to Varathron, they got stopped in the Yugoslavian border. The material they played is from their demo "Genesis Of Apocryphal Desire" and from their 7" EP "One Step Beyond Dreams". The cover itself says no tracklist at all.
