VLAD TEPES - Morte Lune CD
The last known demo of original material was 'La Morte Lune'. I know this isn't their most popular release but this one just blows me away. I have heard the original demo and I also own the bootleg re-release and there is a difference in sound. The original demo has a lower sound to the recording making barely listenable, especially if you want to decipher the tiny details. When production isn't good to begin with you grasp to every little thing that you hear, guitar tone, drums, vocals, bass, etc. Aside from the fact that the Tragic Empire version has 2 extra songs, it also has a louder mix to it and everything sounds in the kindest sense "clearer" than the original demo. If I had to choose between the two I'd take the Tragic Empire version 10 out of 10 times. The only thing making me even want to get the original demo is due to the rarity of it. An original copy of the demo would easily go for over 100 for sure.
