Hand-numbered.

Necromanteion was a site that was believed to be the door to Hades, the realm of the dead. It means oracle of the death. People would go there to talk with their late ancestors.

The artwork is taken from the 1864 painting Wilderness (from the Lithuania series) by Polish romantic painter Artur Grottger (1837-1867) and was also used in Black Altar's first demo Na uroczysku... (1998), on Blood Stronghold's sweatshirt Spectres of Bloodshed (2020) as well as in Iku-Turso / Standvast split EP Ikuinen Viha (2022).

Original tapes directly from Rob Darken had his stamp on the blank back side of the insert.

First cover original release.
