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

The roots of Ancient Wisdom trace back to 1992 when the project was formed by Marcus E Norman (Throne of Ahaz/Bewitched) in Ume, Sweden as Pain', then Ancient'. After the release of the first demo In The Eye Of The Serpent in 1993, the name was updated to Ancient Wisdom and the recording of the second demo, Through Rivers Of The Eternal Blackness swiftly followed in December of 1993. On the back of this, a deal was signed with Italian label Avantgarde Music, leading to the recording of the full-length debut album, For Snow Covered The Northland. The studio sessions took place in December of 1994, though the album did not see the light of day until 1996.For Snow Covered The Northland was a triumphant journey of atmospheric and melodic blackened doom metal, with sombre and hypnotic guitar leads permeating the album to great effect amid the anguished screams. Also utilising acoustic guitar and piano/keyboard passages, the opus overall exudes an ambience of deep melancholy and despair. The album was recorded at The Garageland Studio &amp; produced by Henrik Kjellberg, plus drum programming was made by Fredrik Thorendal, founding member of Swedish legends, Meshuggah. For Snow Covered The Northland has been remastered for this release &amp; contains a bonus disc featuring extensive rare material from the early years of the band, including the 'In The Eyes Of The Serpent' &amp; Through Rivers Of The Eternal Blackness' demos, plus rare promo &amp; rehearsal tracks.
