Deluxe-mediabook with the 2 longtime out of print EPs "Conjuration" and "Slaves Shall Serve" plus 5 bonus tracks.

Background information about 'Abyssus Abyssum Invocat'

This essential collection brings together two crucial Behemoth EPs that had been unavailable for years, offering both longtime devotees and newer fans a chance to experience some of the Polish extreme metal titans' most ferocious material. The compilation showcases the band's evolution during a pivotal period, featuring the raw intensity of "Conjuration Ov Sleep Daemons" alongside crushing live performances of classics like "Christians To The Lions" and "Decade Ov Therion". The inclusion of cover versions demonstrates Nergal and company's respect for their influences, with their interpretations of tracks like "Wish" and "Welcome To Hell" proving just how seamlessly they can channel other artists' visions through their own apocalyptic lens.

The second disc continues this journey with the "Slaves Shall Serve" EP material, including the title track that would become one of their most recognizable anthems. Live recordings capture the band's devastating stage presence, while bonus tracks like "As Above So Below" provide additional treasures for collectors. What makes this release particularly special is how it bridges different eras of Behemoth's catalog, from their more traditional black metal roots to the symphonic extremity that would define their later masterpieces. The production quality varies across the different recording sessions, but this only adds to the authentic, documentary-like feel of the collection.

For fans of: Morbid Angel, Emperor, Dissection, Mayhem, and Vader
