Relapse records has compiled the definitive recordings of Nirvana 2002, one of the more obscure Swedish death metal bands that emerged during the style's foundational era. Having split up after their fourth demo in 1991, the band never got around to recording a full-length album, yet the quality of their demos kept their name alive through the years, maintaining a certain level of recognition in the conversation of the development of the Swedish death metal style. The material presented here finds its place alongside the early works of the style in the process of forming its distinct characteristics, particularly Nihilist and Carnage.

Demos, rehearsals, a compilation track, and a live recording, thus the quality of sound varies from the sturdy, distinctively blistering Sunlight Studios sessions to the 4-track, garage rehearsals.
