Recorded in 1994 with the classic lineup of :: :: Darken, Capricornus, and Karcharoth, "Carpathian Wolves" now :: :: gets its most complete, definitive, and ultra-luxurious :: :: version. Presented in a luxurious digibook, with a hardcover :: :: book, and a 24-page insert containing UNRELEASED photos from :: :: that golden era! Furthermore, this release comes with an extra :: :: disc, a rehearsal version recorded in 1993 in the basement of :: :: the Thy Worshiper members, months before the album recording. :: :: Another historical document portraying a nearly forgotten and :: :: unique era, made under license and supervision by Rob Darken :: :: himself! :: :: :: :: . _ _ . :: \: :. \\ ___________ . ___________ // .: :/ __\____ :: ____ ___\ _ / BERC : 2025 \ _ /___ ____ :: ____/__ \\\f3! :: \\\ __ _/_________i_________\ /___/ /// :: cRO/// \ :: :\-\___________\_ ___ / _ _/___________/-/: :: / :: | . . _ _ _/ __/ . \_ _ _ . . | :: : :::::::: | | \\\\\/ _______\____|\ \///// | | :::::::: : :: | | -\-\/____/-------------\____\/-/- | | :: :: | | \ :|: / | | :: : : | . ` ::: ' . | : : . . | : ::: : | . . | :::....:::....::: | : ::::::::::::::::: : . :::''``:::''``::: . : ::: : . ::: . .:. :
