Quote (Shagrath, Silenoz): "We are aware that many of you consider this our milestone and what is supposed to define the true sound of Dimmu Borgir and therefore something that shouldn't be tampered with and thus perhaps get 'ruined' with a re-recording, and that's a valid argument, we understand... ... ... That's how it always will be, as an artist you seek perfection, even if you know it'll never be obtained fully"

In my opinion it was a good step to re-record that album, because the sound has improved and it's just better than the old record!!
The digi-pack comes with a bonus DVD that features the ozzfest performance 2004!
So it's just to say: Go and buy it...!!
