Amorphis "Privilege Of Evil (EP)"

Privilege of Evil is an EP by the Finnish band Amorphis released in 1993. It is a collection of demo material from Amorphis' early career recorded in Timo Tolkki's (Stratovarius) TTT Studio in 1991. At that time only two of these songs were picked for the band's first 7" single, but the full session was released two years later on this EP. On the EP's reissue by Relapse Records, the band became upset to hear that their early material was released.The material on this EP was originally meant to be for a split album with Incantation, which never materialized. Incantation's half of the split would only be released individually sixteen years later as the Blasphemous Cremation EP.

Slimcase cd, Relapse Underground Series.

There is also a tape version released by Morbid Noizz Productions (073) in 1995, that include "The Karelian Isthmus" on side A.

Intended to be a split with Incantation. Incantation's half was released 15 years later as Blasphemous Cremation.

Some copies come with one page inlay and others with two page folded inlay with both sides printed. 

All these songs (minus #3 and #6) would be re-recorded and used on the band's debut album The Karelian Isthmus:

Track 1 is an early version of "The Pilgrimage".

Tracks 2 and 4 would be re-recorded using the same title.

Track 3 is a re-recording from a song from the band's 1st demo.

Track 5 would also be re-recorded using the same title, but the re-recording would only feature on the debut album as a bonus track.

Tracks 4 and 5 are the same versions as used on the 1992 Amorphis -Single.
