2) Agathothodion - Two :2:
7:19, lyrics:
Again a message came from the Lord. He said:
“Son of dust, face toward Mount Seir and prophesy against the people saying, ‘The Lord God says: I am against you, and I will smash you with my fist and utterly destroy you. Because you hate my people Israel, I will demolish your cities and make you desolate, and then you shall know that I am the Lord. You butchered my people when they were helpless, when I had punished them for all of their sins. As I live, the Lord God says, since you enjoy blood so much, I will give you a blood bath—your turn has come! I will utterly wipe out, I will utterly wipe out the people of Mount Seir, killing off all those who try to escape and all those who return. I will fill your mountains with the dead—your hills, your valleys, and your rivers will be filled with those the sword has killed. Never again will you revive. You will be abandoned forever; your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you shall know that I am the Lord. “‘For you said, “Both Israel and Judah shall be mine. We will take possession of them. What do we care that God is there!” Therefore as I live, the Lord God says, I will pay back your angry deeds with mine—I will punish you for all your acts of envy and of hate. And I will honor my name in Israel by what I do to you. And you shall know that I have heard each evil word you spoke against the Lord, saying, “His people are helpless; they are food for us to eat!” Saying that, you have boasted great words against the Lord. And I have heard them all!

Rerelease of the above split, under DarkDark's new name, Light Shall Prevail.

The top-left version was planned for June/July 2006, but I don't know if it was actually released then. It was definitely released in 2006 though.

For the cassette version, tracks 1-3 are on Side A, and 4-5 are on Side B.

16 May, 2021, EEE Recordings, Bandcamp, Remastered

Either the top-left or the top-right version was limited 100 copies, but I'm not sure which.

The top-right one was apparently released between the May and July versions as it's "the 2nd pressing [. . .] with all new artwork".

The 2021 remasters/re-releases are based on the layout for the unreleased Extreme Records version.

Apparently the title was originally supposed to be "Can God be Made?" for all versions, but it got changed along the way.

Tracks 3 and 4 were scrapped partway through, and thus lack "vocals or secondary layering".

For the tape version, track 1 is on Side A, and track 2 is on Side B.

A compilation of unreleased material.
Tracks A1 and A2 (which are also on the remasters of "Kan Guds Gjort") are only included on the tape version of this release, and were originally going to be bonus tracks on the unreleased Extreme Records version of Kan Guds Gjort. "Spiritual Catharsis" was recorded during the Kan Guds Gjort sessions for an unspecified split release that it ended up being scrapped from. It was also going to be a bonus track on that Extreme Records CD. The tracks "Six :6:" and "Seven :7:" were planned to be on the Light Shall Prevail split but were scrapped.

All tracks were remastered in 2021 before release.
