Background
In 1997, Rasputina joined the Arena Tour leg of the year-long worldwide concert tour of American rock band Marilyn Manson, known as the Dead to the World Tour, wherein they served as a "musical interlude" between opening act Helmet and the main act. By mid-April, the eponymous frontman of Marilyn Manson and his bassist Twiggy Ramirez entered the studio with Rasputina to record a remix of the latter's song "Transylvanian Concubine" off of their 1996 release Thanks for the Ether.[3] The resulting sessions produced three tracks, which were previewed online at Rasputina's website.[4][5] Rasputina went on to join the European Festival Tour leg of the tour as its main opening act.[5] In 1998, the track "Transylvanian Concubine" was featured in the season 2 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Surprise".[6][7]

Reception of the EP was mixed. Vincent Jeffries of AllMusic criticized both the Manson remixes as "very similar" and "uninteresting," categorizing the EP as "only [for] obsessed fans," while also saying, "Rasputina is an amazing group and both of its full-length recordings are highly recommended."[2] Laura Wichers of cello.org called the EP "a nice transition from the mainly acoustic sound" of the band's first album Thanks for the Ether to the "heavier" sound of How We Quit the Forest.[1]
