2020 REISSUE by The Swamp Records, digipack limited edition
The first version was released from MadDie Records in 2010
Reissued also by Doom Cult Records in 2014

2020 Reissue REVIEWS:
- MangoRave Reviews:
"This Mini CD is an absolute classic of Horror Doom and it is a rather underrated release if you ask me. Good thing, The Swamp is now giving Horror fans and lovers of traditional Doom Metal the chance to purchase this milestone."

- The Sleeping Shaman:
"There are some amazing tunes on here, featuring some killer hooks and kickass grooves."

- Roadie Metal:
"Foi com este bom ponto de partida que o Bretus enfim começou a construir seu nome e seu legado como uma das principais representantes do Doom italiano. Foi a partir daí que o conjunto começou a mostrar para o mundo a sua exímia habilidade de aliar aquele Doom setentista que Black Sabbath e Pentagram ensinaram com muito peso e groove, balanceando bem de modo a criar uma sonoridade com muita identidade e capaz de agradar fãs dos mais diversos estilos. Além disso, a atmosfera macabra que o Bretus é capaz de moldar é criada toda de forma orgânica, sem teclados e nem nada disso, com muito peso nas afinações baixas das cordas, timbres cortantes, baixo e bateria seguros e vocais estarrecedores. E que bom que a The Swamp Records se dispôs a realizar este relançamento, assim, mais pessoas poderão ter em casa um souvenir desta peça obrigatória da história do Doom italiano."

2010 REVIEWS:
- DOOMMANTIA: "Great riffs, a rock solid rhythm section, powerful vocals and great production. I get the feeling this is only the beginning of a band that in the next couple of years will become a big influence in the Doom Metal underground and beyond. Essential!"
- HARDSOUNDS: "Si parla tanto di fuga delle nostre eccellenze all'estero. Avete mai pensato che spesso fuggono anche i musicisti? Non parliamo solo di quelli che hanno avuto l'offerta dalla major. I Bretus hanno pubblicato il gioiellino 'In Onirica' per una label ucraina, la ristampa del loro omonimo EP invece è targata Slovenia. Ai ragazzi calabresi diciamo che hanno fatto bene, alla faccia dei sedicenti geni dell'industria discografica che popolano i nostri social network (e basta)."
- THE SLUDGELORD: " If you haven't heard of Bretus before then this is the perfect introduction to the band. Be prepared for something special. Excellent and Highly Recommended."
