Label Review.
1996 debut album.
Our Overview.
The dark 1996 debut album of atmospheric Black Metal from Katatonia mastermind Anders Blackheim Nystrom presented on special blood red 180 gm vinyl for the first time on Peaceville. ‘Ravendusk in my Heart’ is presented in single sleeve packaging complete with a printed inner bag featuring lyrics.
“A work of considerable depth and power” - Metal Archives Diabolical Masquerade, which launched onto the scene in 1996 with the release of ‘Ravendusk in My Heart’. Three further albums were subsequently released in a prolific period of creativity before the project was finally laid to rest after the release of ‘Death’s Design’ in 2001.
‘Ravendusk in my Heart’ stands as a startling debut of fantastic imagery, shaped by accomplished atmospherics mixed with cold black metal, recalling the early works of Emperor, all brought to life with deeply imaginative tales of fantasy from Blackheim’s realm. The album was recorded at the famous Unisound Studio in September 1995. It was produced by Dan Swan & Blackheim and mixed by Swan (familiar for his work with Opeth, Dissection, Marduk).
