Bootleg of Weltmacht's 1999 five-track demo tape, "Ancient Hatred", reissued on cassette, September, 2018 by Ascension Monuments Media. Hand-numbered out of 100 units.

Cassette features a white shell with black ink direct-to-shell printing.

Two-panel, card stock, pro-printed Jcards with hand numbering on the backside.

Features a recreation of the original artwork down to the very last detail. Only different were minor enhancements to improve upon the original design without at all changing the intended visual aesthetic.

Audio was re-mastered by Blake Judd, San Clemente, CA, USA in July, 2018. Volume was boosted overall, along with enhancement of overall sound clarity, raising the bass and mids slightly and overall, giving the recording more power than the original demo tapes circulated in 1999-2000 had.

This is the third cassette version of this demo to be released. The original was released by the band (distributed by Akhenaten's own label, Breath of Night Records, out of DeKalb, IL, USA), second was on an early-imprint of Neill "Lord Imperial" Jameson (of Krieg / Twilight fame) called Profanation Records. This label was later renamed Blood Fire Death Records. Both original tape versions from 1999 and 2000 were extremely limited and hard to come by, and still are to this day.
