Additional notes:
In the early years of the band's existence, considerable time and effort went into to portraying the mood and feel of Pagan Altars music from a visual aspect. The stage act was perfected to a fine art and followed an ongoing theme that continued throughout the whole set beginning with 'Pagan Altar' and culminating in the 11 minute long 'Armageddon'.
