For nearly eighteen years, "Circle of the Noose" existed only as a rumor, a legend passed down among hardcore fans. A rough mix of the song circulated in rare collector's circles, becoming one of the most sought-after bootlegs in the band's history. Then, in February 2016, the song finally surfaced.
