The startling 1996 debut album of dark atmospheric Black Metal from Katatonia mastermind Anders 'Blackheim' Nyström.
“A work of considerable depth and power.” - Metal Archives
Ravendusk In My Heart combines fantastic imagery, which work alongside accomplished atmospherics mixed with cold Black Metal (bringing to mind the early works of Emperor).
The album was recorded at the famous Unisound Studio in September 1995, produced by Dan Swanö and Blackheim, and mixed by Swanö (Opeth, Dissection, and Marduk).
Diabolical Masquerade was the solo-project created by Katatonia's Anders 'Blakkheim' Nyström in 1996, to let off more creative steam away from the gothic/doom metal styling of Katatonia.
Nightwork, DM's third album, was recorded at The Sanctuary in April 1998 and produced by Dan Swan (Opeth, Katatonia) with Blakkheim.
Although a solo-project, Blakkheim enlisted the help of Dan Swan to perform the drums, as well as contributing with some keyboards and backing vocals.
Diabolical Masquerade was based primarily around symphonic/melodic black metal; creating eerie atmospheres through keyboards and utilizing more high energy & technical compositions than those of his main band, with complex patterns of riffs and hooks. This particular album saw a greater integration of synths than previously, to convey a strong horror theme. To further expand this atmosphere, cello and flute were also incorporated.
„Borderland" is the first Amorphis album produced in collaboration with Danish producer Jacob Hansen. Before that, we had made three amazing records at Jens Bogren’s studio. During the planning phase of the project, we strongly felt that it was time to explore something new and see what working with a different producer might bring to the table.
Amorphis has a very distinctive sound and our own way of making music. Having six strong personalities in the band naturally brings its own challenges to the production process, especially for the producer. Jacob was chosen for a couple of key reasons: he has worked with an impressively diverse range of artists, and he’s an incredibly calm, creative, and idea-driven producer.
Once again, the lyrics were written by Pekka Kainulainen, and the album artwork is by Dutch artist Marald Van Haasteren. Pekka Kainulainen describes the themes and topics of the album as follows: "The generations that came before us, our ancestors, also had to face death and destruction. Honoring the mythologies of mankind, as well as the listeners of Amorphis, I wrote lyrics that hopefully convey some of the humility and strength that mankind has always depended on."

Shiki, the 2022 studio album from Sigh is an opus of dark and eclectic blackened Heavy Metal, shrouded in traditional Eastern influences.
CD edition.
Marking 35 years of Sigh, a 2025 fully re-recorded edition of the band’s classic 2007 opus, Hangman’s Hymn (the band’s first concept album).
The resulting work is by far the fiercest, most brutal, and most symphonic Sigh album to date.
Blackened Thrash meets Classical music.
Comes with a 12"x12" 20-page booklet glued on the gatefold, A4 poster and a download card. Pressed on transparent red heavy vinyl with black splatters and laser engraved etching on D side.
"The Poisonous Path" is a raging beast, a monstrous work straight from the depths of Hell which distils a deeply mephitic climate into an addictive poison. The production is massive, the riffing intense, the atmosphere suffocating and the melodies vicious and bewitching, this is dark sonic alchemy.
Having forged their own amazingly impure path over the years, they are at the height of their unholy Art and comfortably seated on the throne of Devilish Black Metal!
Fourth press, exclusive color vinyl, gatefold cover
