Background information about 'Darkness Falls (The Early Days)'

There are compilations, and then there are compilations. What Darkness Shall Rise Productions has put together here is nothing short of a treasure chest for anyone with even a passing interest in Swedish death metal. Desultory's Darkness Falls (The Early Days) rounds up the band's three demos – the legendary Forever Gone, Visions... and Death Unfolds – and presents them in one glorious package. And trust me, this is the real deal: mastered from the original master tapes by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of Disharmony in February 2024, these recordings have never sounded this crisp, this massive, this alive.

For those who came in late, Desultory were right there in the early 90s, carving out that distinctly Swedish sound – that buzzsaw guitar tone, those frantic yet melodic riffs, the raw energy that defined a generation. This compilation captures the band before they refined their sound into the full-length classics like Into Eternity. It's raw, it's hungry, it's the sound of young wolves finding their voice. The included interview with Klas Morberg adds fantastic context, making this not just a listen but a document. Whether you're a die-hard collector or just discovering the golden era of Swedish death metal, this is essential listening.
