Disc one features the entire "Once Sent From A Golden Hall" album remastered plus the bonus track "Siegreicher Marsch" (German version of "Victorious March"). Disc two features the live recording of the show AMON AMARTH played on December 28, 2008 in Bochum, Germany where they played the album in its entirety. The order of songs is the same as on disc one (excluding "Siegreicher Marsch").

This reissue (and all the other ones that will follow later in the year) will be released as an eight-sided double-figipak with individual pop-up. All four pop-ups attached to each other will show a special three-dimensional pic! The reissue also features liner notes by the band and will be released for the price of a regular CD.
