''Wrath of the Tyrant'' was originally distributed by the band as a demo shortly after it was recorded. This original demotape had a picture of a [[chimera (mythology)|chimera]] on the cover. In 1994 it was re-released through Wild Rag Records with two bonus tracks and different artwork. [[Tchort]], who didn't join the band until 1993, is the person who appears on this cover.{{cite web |url=http://www.emperorhorde.com/gfx/gallery/prev_members/tchort_wrathcover.jpg |title=tchort_wrathcover.jpg |type=[[JPEG]] image |work=emperorhorde.com |accessdate=28 September 2012 |archive-date=6 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120206001932/http://www.emperorhorde.com/gfx/gallery/prev_members/tchort_wrathcover.jpg |url-status=dead }} A limited edition 12" vinyl was released by Head not Found records in 1995; this version featured a photograph of the [[Scott Monument]] in Edinburgh as new cover art. |
