Privilege of Evil is the first EP by Finnish progressive metal band Amorphis, released in 1993. It is a collection of demo material from Amorphis' early career recorded in Timo Tolkki's (Stratovarius) TTT Studio in 1991. At that time only two of these songs were picked for the band's first 7" single, but the full session was released two years later on this EP. On the EP's reissue by Relapse Records, the band became upset to hear that their early material was released.Satan Stole My Teddybear Review of Privilege of Evil. ssmt-reviews.com.

Incantation's half of the split would only be released individually sixteen years later as the Blasphemous Cremation EP.
