Newly available in October 2008: The Initiation Demos! For fans only: these demos were produced by the band themselves before going into the studio with David Castell to properly record their end-times vision of the future, "Initiation." All tracks were recorded on an a Tascam 238 8-track cassette machine. Because of this, the sound quality is a bit thinner than the actual album. But the arrangements of many of the songs are quite different than what appeared later. Some of the tracks are just initial impressions that never got developed further, but are included to give friends the fullest picture of what the band was reaching for at the time of writing. The Initiation Demos is a two-disc set, packaged in a biodegradable dual-disc Amaray DVD case. The only way you can order this release is directly from the band! Disc 1 1. Initiation Theme I 2.
