I was surprised to hear it was being re-done. To me this new remastered and remixed version loses the sterile sound of the original and sounds slightly more typical Black metal albeit with a better drum sound. |
I've actually never heard it, having followed the band from Deathcrush to De Mysteriis I was actually a little disappointed by Wolf's Lair Abyss and therefore didn't bother with any of the albums which followed! I don't know if I'm actually missing out on good songs!
I'll listen to Grand Declaration later, original mix, then I'll try the remix and see what it's like.
