Beauty in Darkness is a Goth Rock/Black Metal/Doom Metal/Death Metal compilation released by Nuclear Blast in 1996, first edition came in a 2-page digipak plus regular booklet. 

Track 2 is not the version from "Theli", but rather an early studio recording of this song. The structure and instruments are already the same as in the final version, but vocals, guitars and the overall mix are quite different. 
Track 5 is the acoustic version, not the regular version of this song. 
Track 10 is the same version as on the "Maximum Abduction" Shape CD5", but not the version from "The Final Chapter" album.
