initially Ophthalamia was a bastard child of It [Abruptum], setting the concept and working on most of its songs, but the recordings of this kult debut longplay [1994] have also involved other respectable figures of Swedish scene: Jon Nödtveidt [Dissection] aka Shadow has taken over vocal duties, while Winter [Edge Of Sanity] and Mourning [Pan.Thy.Monium] filled in on drums and bass guitar, while Dan Swanö was responsible for the production - their atmospheric and painful road to darkness was indeed inspired by traditional doom ethics, while shrieking black metal vocals added much more drama and depth; classic cult is now available as black 180g vinyl with new liner notes by Dan and Metallion
