mara's torment live at darkrave sept 2003 'kay, i just want to stop and comment on the fact that this release would certainly imply my imagination seems to be failing, at least in terms of titles. even more so, it would appear that my memory is failing me too, 'cause the show was actually in august of 2003. but i won't change it 'cause i've already printed labels and stickers and all that stuff. so it will be one of those silly errors that takes on a life of it's own.
