"This is not much of a new record, 3 new songs, 1 old song (that has also be used in other 2 records of Dimmu Borgir: Raabjorn Speiler Draugheimens Skodde) and 3 live songs.The real thrill of the album for me was the live tracks because Dimmu Borgir would never fall in this island for a concert. Good music, not too good sound. But it is worth a try."
Good EP, but Alas Not Great

"Dimmu's second EP (if you count the split album with Old Man's Child as an EP) is comprised of two new tracks, one cover, three live recordings and two updated versions of songs from For All Tid. The live recordings are all very good, no complaints. The cover seems rather pointless. The two new tracks are both good with Moonchild Domain being the better of the two. It is the updated versions of the tracks from For All Tid that stand out the most for me. The improved sound quality and arrangments of these songs make them far superior to the originals in my opinion. Overall I recommend this disc to diehards only, newcomers should instead seek out the original version of "Stormblast", "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant", "Spiritual Black Dimensions" and "Puritanical Euphoric Misantrhopia"."

"I've listened to this a few times and it's incredibly forgettable and ignorable. For some reason, nothing on it captures my attention except the first few moments of the first song."
SAVAGELY GOOD BLACK METAL!!

"To correct DARKDEATH below, there are 5 STUDIO songs from the EP and 3 LIVE tracks. Buy the DELUXE EDITION whichs includes the 2 extra LIVE tracks bringing the total to 5 LIVE ones. I like it too, man.
I bought this on a whim without sampling it because I love DIMMU BORGIR. Unluckyfrank got lucky and only paid 7 bucks for it at Tower's Going Out of Business Sale. Now, it's one of my favorites!! If you're a fan, this is definitely worth your attention!! This is worth it just for the BLACK STUDIO tracks alone!! Hell's Fire!! The LIVE s@#t is great too!!
STUDIO tracks 1 & 3, MOONCHILD DOMAIN and CHAOS WITHOUT MERCY, have the lyrics printed inside. MOONCHILD DOMAIN is about a demonic whore by the name of Eliza. Apparently she eats the souls of the sick and innocent. Damn!! The third track, CHAOS WITHOUT PROPHECY, as near as I can tell, is about a king who summons a demon named Azunda. The demon posesses the king and gets to spread his evil on Earth while destroying the prophecy that he be locked out of creation. Holy S@#t!! And then there's The Classic SPELLBOUND BY THE DEVIL(LIVE)!! Great LIVE rendition!!
AN INSANE BLACK METAL MIX of 5 STUDIO and 5 LIVE tracks from one of the greatest SATANIC BLACK METAL bands of all time!! If you don't belong in their coven, just don't get near them when the moon is full. They may need fresh blood!!
ENJOY THE DARKSIDE."
Excellent EP!

"The live songs on here are great, even better than the studio. Plus Astennu (their guitarist at the time) was playing here, which added superior playing ability to the songs. I wonder how much better Dimmu's later albums would have been if Astennu were still in the band. As for the regular tracks, well "Chaos Without Prophecy" is my favorite studio song on this EP. Highly recommended!"
