Review: After having gone through several line-up changes, Funeral Winds entered a period of relative stability, which paved the way to the release of the brutally cold Koude haat album. While writing this album, when I was still part of the line-up, Funeral Winds recorded promotional material for interested labels in Balgradon's Vortex studio. The first of these songs were re-recordings of two tracks from Godslayer Xul and Dawn of the Third Holocaust, which was an Infinity song adopted into the Funeral Winds oeuvre. Because they were recorded on seperate occasions, all of the tracks have a different sound, but are always tightly played. Still, they cannot compare to the professional recordings that have been made of them earlier and later on. The three tracks remain unreleased and reside with the musicians only, with maybe only a very few exceptions.

Review: After sending the 2001 promo material around, labels were really more interested in new Funeral Winds material, other than re-recordings of old songs. They were eager to hear what the band could do with the new line-up. That resulted in promotional material featuring four newly written songs, that were to have a place on the next album. Because the songs were all recorded on different occasions in 2002 in the Vortex Studio, the sound was far from homogenous, but it wasn't as diverse as the 2001 tracks. These new tracks finally landed the band a contract with Spanish label Death To Mankind, but hardly saw the light of day within a waiting scene. Like the promo 2001 material, the promo 2002 material remained hardly distributed.
