Artist Origin: SWE
Style: dark hellish occult death metal

the glory of one of the fundamental and undeniably cult dark Swedish death metal opuses [1993] never fades because it is a benchmark by which the entire subgenre’s quality is measured: early line-up of dark and hellish entity included original Dark Funeral guitarist, the late David "Blackmoon" Parland, who was to blame for purely devilish imagery and hellish atmosphere, and so this debut longplay has started infernal, chilling branch of menacing downtuned sound that has been coming from Sverige in spades, maintaining intense and very catchy songwriting, while several reworked demo-era tracks such as Sacrificial Rites and Inborn Evil have brought even more quality and a sense of fundamental evil on the record; recent German limited slipcase edition comes with sound newly remastered by Dan Swanö, twelve page booklet, and instrumental Shadows of the Moon bonus
