Info: The demo was recorded and mixed by Marcus Winberg and Epic Irae on a four track porta studio during the Christmas holidays in 1989-90. Ballet of Desolation represents the first properly recorded material by Epic Irae excluding a never released version of "An Angel's Cry" which had been recorded earlier in the autumn of 1989 (which was both heavier and superior to the one included on the demo). Epic Irae later changed their name to Quicksand Dream and put out a self-released album in 2000 limited to only 30 copies. It was reissued in 2010 by Planet Metal on CD and High Roller Records on vinyl, limited to 500 copies.
