Annotation

The track list shown on this compilation is incorrect. The compilation uses the American version of the 'Obsessed By Cruelty' album (released by Metal Blade), which accidentally contained the first recording of the album with a track list different than shown on the back cover, and without the song 'After The Deluge'.

Made between 2004-2008 (Sonopress Arvato operated under this name between July 1, 2004 - 2008, after which it changed its name to Arvato Digital Services).
