ISWC:
• Primary TONO ISWC (Authoritative): T0006102959
• Historical/Legacy Variant (Deprecated): T0006102958

TONO / CMO Identifiers:
• TONO Work ID (Authoritative): 556443

• ASCAP Work ID (imported): 481307217

ISRC:DE-D83-98-00753 (original master / Nuclear Blast)
(Documented here for identification; will be applied to the recording when available.)

Merge Notes:
This work has been aligned to TONO’s authoritative ISWC (T0006102959),
which is the master identifier used across ASCAP, GEMA, ACE/Songview
and all other PRO/CMO systems. The older ISWC variant (T0006102958)
originated from early publisher-forwarded submissions and is kept only
for provenance; it should always be merged into the authoritative ISWC
when encountered.

Publisher Cleanup:
Legacy publisher entries (Hanseatic/Prophecies) removed, as these derive
from historical NB submissions and do not form part of the verified
metadata chain under TONO, ASCAP, or GEMA.

Role Logic:
Composer roles confirmed as Mustaparta + Hinderson/Arnesen. Lyric
authorship documented as shared between Kopperud, Tomt Thoresen and
Hinderson/Arnesen, matching the writing practices of the period. Exact
splits are managed by the PROs under standard C/W or C/A rules.

This annotation documents the full correction path and ensures metadata
consistency across TONO, ASCAP, GEMA and linked CMO/PRO systems going
forward.

ISWC:
- T-924.619.049-8 (TONO verified)
PRO/CMO alignment:
- Writer shares verified with TONO.
- GEMA/ASCAP/APRA entries reflect the same work entity.
- Stian André Arnesen confirmed as co-composer (legacy alias “Stian Hinderson” / “Nagash”).
