Demilich - Nespithe CD question

[Velvet Creation]

Can anyone here inform me if there is more than one press of this album??

 

[MasterOLightning]

There's the original, authorized press, then there was one that Demilich didn't authorize due to failed royalty payments or a contract dispute. This is why it's free for download; they don't want that label making money off the album.

One of the Demilich fanboys here can probably give you a more detailed explanation than that, but I'm pretty sure that's the general idea.

Originally it was released on Necropolis, but they failed to pay Demilich as far as I remember, Relapse (?) re-released it with the demo as bonus tracks but Demilich still have it for free on their website. I'm pretty sure Metal-Archives has more info.

Thanks for the info guys!

My copy is on pavement records, licensed by Necropolis. is that an authorized version?
