I have the original pressing version, and I think I prefer that one over the one with the early harmonies. It gives a sense of build up and anticipation at the beginning and a beautiful release at the end. Silence is loud :}
Oh, smcdonough1427, if you're counting the version on Random EP 2, then there's 3 versions. 1. Original Act I pressing--lacks the early harmonies. 2. Later Act I pressing(s)--Has the early harmonies (which the one in this video). 3. Random EP 2's, which has instruments.
BestNameEvar, the first pressing of Act I had the "incorrect" version of Battesimo (the version lacking the early harmonies). Later pressings were corrected with the early harmonies.
This song is really a prologue to the story of The Dear Hunter (which is the main character). Battesimo del Fuoco prophecies the birth and corruption of the Dear Hunter. I'm not sure what some of it means but it should all be revealed with the release of the third album.
Wrong album cover

"Battesimo del Fuoco" is Italian for "Baptism of the Flame". I love this band so much.
