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 Heavy Metal band from Kolbotn, Norway, formed in 1987 (initially founded as Black Death in 1986).
Darkthrone started as a death metal group, but having released ‘Soulside Journey’ they decided to abandon the technical death metal style and transformed into a black metal band. The band’s sound has diversified over their career to include elements of traditional heavy metal, thrash, doom, death and speed metal, as well as crust punk. They have not played live since 1991 and since 1993 Darkthrone has been a duo consisting of Fenriz (Gylve Nagell) and Nocturno Culto (Ted Skjellum).

Darkthrone began life in the late 80's, experimenting with thrash, death and doom metal before eventually delving into the black metal genre and becoming synonymous with the style as one of the most highly regarded acts. Goatlord was the title of what was to originally be Darkthrone's second album. The style followed very much in the vein of debut, Soulside Journey, with a midpaced melodic, yet technical, death metal style. After the full completion of the tracks, however, Darkthrone's focus shifted towards black metal and a more primitive style of composition and so the album was shelved, while work commenced on what was to be the Norwegian black metal milestone, A Blaze In The Northern Sky, which incorporated some parts from the Goatlord.&nbsp;Goatlord : Original contains these cult tracks in their original instrumental form, recorded in the band's rehearsal space (vocals were added in the mid-90's before an official release came through Moonfog Productions in 1996), with the classic line-up of Gylve 'Fenris' Nagell on drums, Ted Skjellum on lead guitar, Ivar Enger on Rhythm guitar and Dag Nilsen on bass. Taken from Fenriz's original tape source &amp; transferred/mastered by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, this is the pinnacle of Darkthrone's more death/doom metal- oriented direction before the transition towards black metal infamy. Featuring intricate arrangements, sombre melodies and a truly distinguishable style overall, Goatlord : Original represents a band performing well in advance of its young age. Artwork for this release appears courtesy of renowned artist, Zbigniew Bielak.
