I'm not sure if my tape is starting to wear out, or if my equipment is shit. It's barely noticeable, but it's slightly annoying. The difference between this particular tape and every other version of this record is night and day. It sounds that good. I want to put this rip on YouTube for everyone to hear.
Just seek out a sealed copy of that particular version on Discogs, check all of your equipment and make sure all of the connections are good, and rip that one before playing/ruining it.

It's probably just the tape, which is alright. It's an old tape and the Polish never really cared when it came to making bootleg cassettes -- especially metal/grindcore/"louder music" tapes, the same could be said for Russia or Bulgaria. They are cheaply made cassettes. You just gotta take it as is, it's not a bad thing though. Then again, it could be your tape deck making those tiny little crackles as a result of static.
Please share it with us though, I'm interested in hearing it.

I'm ripping it right now. The B-side is giving me some trouble, but I'll put it on YouTube when I'm done.
It's weird, this album usually sounds muddy and trebley, even on vinyl, but this version sounds pretty clear. The drums and bass are loud.
crackling is kvlt as fvck dude
I'm uploading it now, but my internet is shit.
Here it is, lads.

I took the remastered CD and ran it through a mp3 encoder set to 64 kbit cbr. The nice warm digital imperfections sound perfect.

I have ABITNS, on cassette and vinyl. I don't think the tape sounds as good as Transilvanian Hunger though. I've listened to it quite a few times, so it might be a little bit worn out. I might put it up later, though.
