Background information über 'Dark Metal'

When Bethlehem unleashed "Dark Metal" back in the day, they didn't just drop an album - they literally coined a whole damn genre. This groundbreaking debut is nothing short of legendary, a twisted masterpiece that carved out its own dark corner in the metal universe. The German pioneers crafted something so uniquely haunting and atmospheric that it became the blueprint for countless bands that followed. From the opening assault of "The 11th Commandment" to the chilling finale of "Veiled Irreligion", this record is a journey through the darkest recesses of human emotion, wrapped in crushing riffs and otherworldly atmosphere.

What makes this reissue so special isn't just the pristine audio quality - it's the complete package that celebrates two decades of influence. The crystal clear vinyl pressing looks absolutely stunning and the gatefold presentation gives this classic the royal treatment it deserves. Every track here showcases Bethlehem's ability to blend crushing heaviness with haunting melodies, creating an atmosphere that's both beautiful and terrifying. Songs like "Apocalyptic Dance" and "Vargtimmen" demonstrate why this album became such an influential force in extreme metal.

For fans of: Burzum, Mayhem, Emperor, Darkthrone, and early atmospheric black metal
