Sardonic Wrath

This album is dedicated to the memory of Quorthon's Bathory.

English translations:
3. Checkmate Jesus Christ
5. All Against All
6. One Makes/Thinks One's Thoughts [impossible to translate literally into English, meaning could be also "One Concludes/Suspects by Oneself" (internally, silently)]

The earliest promo version of this album contains only 8 tracks, as "Rawness Obsolete" had not yet been recorded. It included a different edit of "Hate Is the Law" as its 8th and closing track, entitled "Silent Majority" (3:56). This edit is not found on the regular promo or retail versions of the album or anywhere else in the band's discography. It is the exact same song, but with an outro-section included at the end. This outro-section was removed on the later promo and retail versions, as "Rawness Obsolete" had been tacked on as the very last, 9th track late in the process, and therefore there was no need for an album-closer outro part on "Silent Majority" (which had by now been retitled "Hate Is the Law", and had now become the second-to-last, 8th track).
