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."
- Esa Holopainen

NACHTHEEM - Nacht, zij met ons...

Our ears fell upon this recording somewhere at the beginning of last year, immediately grabbing our attention with this piece of organic sounding and unpolished atmospheric metal. These Dutchmen managed to capture the essence of the early works of bands like ULVER, VEMOD and PAYSAGE D'HIVER, but with a more aggressive and primitive edge, setting them apart from other similar contemporaries. Considered a demonstration of what is to come by the band, these four songs show the humble beginnings of a project that has something greater in the works. With Nacht, zij met ons..., NACHTHEEM have managed to come up with an ethereal and nostalgic work that is sure to intrigue anyone with a passion for this style.

Fast, aggressive and relentless black metal from Sweden.
IN BATTLE’s second album from 1998 finally, after 26 years, available again on CD.

After three highly acclaimed albums Envoy Of Lucifer represents the fourth and last full-length of NIFELHEIM.

Originally released in 2007, the album is certainly the most professional out of the bunch. Benefitting from a rather clean all-analogue production and many years as musicians under their belts the record, most notably, surprises with intricate arrangements, proficient guitar solos and the introduction of new elements to NIFELHEIM's sound.

Hellbutcher's and Tyrant's lifelong worship of IRON MAIDEN has never been more apparent than on Envoy Of Lucifer too.

Despite all this, the album is still 100% NIFELHEIM with all of their trademarks from previous releases intact.

In 1993, in the midst of the second wave`s heyday, when numerous classic albums saw the light of day and many a blaze ignited the northern sky, GEHENNA were brought forth in Stavanger, Norway`s fourth largest city.
In the course of the same year their efforts resulted in their first and only demo Black Seared Heart which was released by the band on tape in very limited quantities.
The demo comprises 7 songs of which 3 are instrumentals serving as intro and outros respectively.
Although the demo reveals the members` at the time limited capabilites as musicians, it`s, by and large, a very enjoyable  first recording with lasting qualities. The sound is leagues above the average demo production since Black Seared Heart was recorded in a studio.
The moody songs – for the most part played in moderate tempo – are written in a way that reveals GEHENNA as talented songwriters even at this early stage.
Notably, the keyboards, whose remarkable melodies would go on to become one of the band`s trademarks were already present on the demo.

As an added bonus the rerelease of Black Seared Heart comes with an instrumental, a song recorded at the rehearsal-room and most importantly a  studio recording-session that was aborted before completion that was supposed to result in the band`s first EP First Spell.

The songs were completely new remastered by Patrick W. Engel at the Temple of Disharmony to ensure the best possible sound for this timeless Black Metal classic.

Luxurious hardcover digibook-CD.
It contains the new interview and many never before-seen pictures spread over a 28 pages booklet.
