Hopefully we get to hear it someday.
Away said in several interviews that he has allocated all his tapes to labels for bonus-track materials. This demo was initially allocated for DVOD-2. Hardly the best fit for a DVD: pure audio material, very hard to integrate into DVD menus to keep it all consistent, even if included it's most likely going to be encoded in some DVD-friendly lossy format such as MP3 or AC3. Doesn't make sense for either the demo - remember, that's the last pieces of unheard Piggy's music! - or the DVD.
There are several reasons I could speculate DVOD-2 was never released. First, doesn't seem like there's enough good video material for it, otherwise they wouldn't even think of putting the audio demo there. Second, I doubt DVOD-1 was all that financially successful, so the label, not expecting the second installment that covers a considerably less popular period of the band to have any chance of topping or even matching it, has most likely just folded the project. Away is not talking too much about it, and that's understandable: who would like to anger the fans with the news like that? So, in all likelihood, DVOD-2 (not even mentioning DVOD-3) will never happen.
So what are the realistic options?
Century Media could, theoretically, sponsor such a project if the new album sells. The other, cheaper and more realistic, possible scenario is for the same Century Media to reissue "Lives" (they own distribution rights) with this demo as a bonus disc. Since the rights were split between CM (Europe) and Metal Blade (US), there's just one more legal pain in the ass to solve though, so getting back to making it an individual release, as a re-recording or just a demo, doesn't sound too complicated any more.But the crucial fact is: any plans for any demo reissues (through traditional labels) really depend on the financial success of the upcoming record. quote:
Is there realy no one out there who has it?? 
Two people who have been confirmed to have it: Away and Yuri. Maybe, possibly: Eric, Steve Albini(who was supposed to produce the record and most likely heard the demo), some people at the labels and promotional agencies. I suspect no more than 20 copies were ever made, that's one golden piece of collectors' items for sure. I wouldn't hold my breath for seeing one of them on eBay or GEMM. quote:
Hex, This is not going to happen!
Talking about about a mustard seed of faith? In 2003, our friend K was ridiculed for yelling "BLACKY!" at a Voivod show  Now, there's always a chance that the band will leave the proper albums to the labels and start issuing the demo/live/bootleg stuff exclusively through Iron Gang Factory, in either physical form or straight to Bandcamp. Time to yell "BANDCAMP!" at the shows? -------------------- Casper, your friendly ghost

Couldn't have said it better myself, so I second what Hex stated. I also think the IGF would be the best place to release the demo, only us, the die-hard fans, would at first be anxious to buy it after all. Obviously it would be much more appreciated in a proper release than buried in a DVD audio section.-------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."
