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.

Its pointless remastering these albums the feel and atmosphere of the original recordings is usually lout like like when Dimmu Borgir did it with Stormblast it just ended up too clean and robotic sounding lacked any atmosphere.
