THE 1996 DEBUT ALBUM OF DARK ATMOSPHERIC BLACK METAL FROM KATATONIA MASTERMIND ANDERS �BLACKHEIM� NYSTR�M�A work of considerable depth and power� Metal Archives
From Katatonia mastermind Anders �Blackheim� Nystr�m, Peaceville presents the debut album from his symphonic extreme metal solo-project, 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.
The album was produced by Dan Swan� & Blackheim and mixed by Swan� (familiar for his work with Opeth, Dissection, Marduk).
