[edit] Overview

About the re-recorded version of "Return to the Eve" (originally from the Morbid Tales mini-album), In line with Reed's habit of loudly goofing off during songs, with Reed loosely sharing lead vocals as we go.[2] Celtic Frost included this "party-like studio-jam" of the said song on Tragic Serenades as their "first public display of light-heartedness."[3]

[edit] Track listing

  1. "The Usurper"
  2. "Jewel Throne"
