Peaceville

Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs. From 1987 to 2002, CD releases were labeled as "CDVILE### / VILE ### CD," while MCDs/singles/EPs were labeled as "CDMVILE### / VILE ### TCD." Limited CDs were marked with "CDXVILE###."

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

A one-man black metal side project of Katatonia guitarist Anders Nyström (aka Blackheim/Blakkheim), Diabolical Masquerade was active until September 2004. Known for their unique blend of atmospheric and symphonic elements, the band's music is characterized by haunting melodies, aggressive guitar riffs, and intense vocals. Drawing inspiration from various genres including black metal, progressive rock, and classical music, Diabolical Masquerade created a sound that was both dark and captivating.

During their active years, Diabolical Masquerade released several albums that showcased their musical versatility and creativity. Their compositions often featured intricate arrangements and complex song structures, pushing the boundaries of traditional black metal. The band's ability to seamlessly blend different styles made them stand out in the genre.

Influenced by bands such as Arcturus, Solefald, Sigh, and Emperor among others, Diabolical Masquerade left a lasting impact on the black metal scene. While they may no longer be actively creating music together, their legacy lives on through their discography which continues to inspire fans and musicians alike.

THE DARK 1996 DEBUT ALBUM OF ATMOSPHERIC BLACK METAL FROM KATATONIA MASTERMIND ANDERS BLACKHEIM NYSTR?M PRESENTED ON SPECIAL BLOOD RED VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME ON PEACEVILLE ?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. It was produced by Dan Swan? & Blackheim and mixed by Swan? (familiar for his work with Opeth, Dissection, Marduk). This LP edition of 'Ravendusk in my Heart' is presented on special 180gram blood red vinyl in single sleeve packaging complete with a printed inner bag featuring lyrics.
