There's a story that has to be told regarding this album... On
every back cover and in every booklet of this release (not the re-release
from 2002), it says that track 5 is a song called "Shadows
of the Moon". That song is ONLY
on the american pressing, licenced by Cargo Records and is only pressed
in a few thousand copies and is extremely rare. On all other copies, track
5 is a song called "Inborn Evil".
The
story is that after the recording of this album, we in the band felt that
"Inborn Evil" didn't get the right groove and feeling as we
wanted and decided to drop that song from the album. Then, in the mastering
session, the wrong song got dropped, the instrumental song "Shadows
of the Moon". The booklet and covers were already made and we didn't
find out about this error until we heard the finished album. We demanded
that the error should be fixed and did a second mastering with the right
track list. There is also another version of the title track "The
Nocturnal Silence" on the second mastering version. The intro to
"The Nocturnal Silence" is fading in.
For some reason, the second mastering were only pressed once and that is the american pressing, licenced by Cargo Records. This is how we, the band, wanted the album to be. It's now an extremely rare item... |
