In the 1990s, the Swedish band Tiamat, led by Johan Edlund, evolved from a death metal formation into one of the most influential pioneers of gothic metal. Their recordings from this decade are considered milestones that introduced atmospheric depth and psychedelic influences to the extreme metal scene. This 7" picture single features two songs from Tiamat's early days, when the band still played aggressive death metal while using keyboards to create an occult, gothic atmosphere. For those seeking recordings of their 'gothic death metal' roots, this 7" vinyl is a must-have for any collection.
