Should I add a new work?

Hi everybody! I’m adding Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side and when checking relationships the track “Return of the Gods (Sunlight Recording)” is related to “Return of the Gods”

But when I searched CISAC to add the credits, the two versions came up, with different ISWC and composers

So I guess a new work should be added, but I wanted to check before making any changes.

Thank you!!!

If in doubt, I would add a new work with the other ISWC and possibly merge later.

In this case, I suspect that it is the same work and only an additional writer has been named. It looks like Fredrik Andersson usually works with the other writers.

But further research would be required to decide this. There are many reasons why it could actually be a different work, e.g. lyrics could have been added to a primarily instrumental work or the work could have been substantially altered by this artist. In jazz, the artist may simply have contributed through improvisation and only been credited when actually playing with the others.
