Just had a listen to the demo versions of Aetheric, Lightbringer, I Am Sovereign, Archaic Correspondence and Council Of Wolves And Snakes. I actually enjoy these versions way more than the final product. The real choir parts are missing but filled in with placeholder synth choirs & strings. It gives it a more 2000's Dimmu Borgir feel. I suspect Death Cult Armageddon fans might enjoy these versions better.

Just checked those demos out, actually prefer them a lot more, that bass sounds excellent.
