In 2001, Marko Tarvonen remastered the demo and it was then provided as a download. However, the download was later removed from the website. In 2002, the remastered demo was re-released with the addition of bass guitars, keyboards and vocals. At the same time the demo cover was changed.
A completely re-recorded version of the songs "Hvergelmir" and "Elivagar (Pakanavedet)" was released on the EP Tulimyrsky in 2008.
