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

Peaceville presents a very special collection of tracks from the more black metal oriented acts on the label, featuring a variety of new and recent bands such as RUïM (featuring former Mayhem guitarist Blasphemer), Hellripper, Mork, Doedsmaghird (the new project of DHG's Vicotnik &amp; evil twin to his main band) &amp; Avmakt, among frmly established legendary acts &amp; infuential names such as Darkthrone, Mortem, Sigh, Mortuary Drape &amp; Dødheimsgard, with plenty of great showcases for what is to come in 2023 &amp; also including a majority of exclusives &amp; special surprise inclusions from the enigmatic Norwegian band Kvist &amp; the pioneering riffs of Snorre Ruch of 'Thorns'. 

Alongside the stellar list of acts covering much of the current black metal Peaceville roster, CD2 is an amazing deep dive into the abyss of history, focussing on what the 1990's had to offer, covering Peaceville's current catalogue. Seen as a golden period for many, in which the genre reached its notorious heights &amp; its burgeoning evolution, we witness true leaders of the early scene such as the Nordic kings Mayhem &amp; Darkthrone, Greece's own abyssic black metal originators Rotting Christ, the distinctive genius rifng style of Snorre Ruch of 'Thorn's &amp; Japan's premiere black metal act Sigh, through to bands rising to prominence in the mid 90's, from the dark brilliance of Dødheimsgard, to the insane industrial satanic power of Mysticum, the blackened thrash masterclass of Aura Noir &amp; the medieval tinged majesty of Godkiller. Each track stands as a landmark &amp; mini piece of history itself, of a bygone era.
