. . "Essence Of Pain is the third demo by the Finnish Dark Metal band Shade Empire. Despite having rather good success, only after releasing three demos, the band was signed by Avantgarde Music. This album was heavily promoted by the band, who sent out promo packs, complete with videos, biography, pictures, and the two previous demos. After two months, they received an offer from Avantgarde Music. They signed a deal with them on September 13, 2002. This album has been highly acclaimed as one of the best demos by the band, supporting a clean sound not found on the others, and using non-programmed drums. All the tracks on this album had been re-worked and released on their first full length album, Sinthetic. Design For Blood became Designed For Blood, Born To Die A 1000 Times became Creation of Death, and Pain + Pleasure became Pain and Pleasure."@en .
