Diabolical Masquerade Nightwork Overview: Created by Blakkheim (or Katatonia's Anders Nyström alter ego) back in the early nineties, this studio project was the perfect platform for him to work his darkest and more blackened Metal ideas. Nightwork encompasses all the greatest ingredients that Diabolical Masquerade has been known for - in other words, a compilation of Nyström's love for the eighties and nineties Black Metal sounds, as well as his fondness for such score composers as Elfman or Goldsmith (which ultimately turned this record into the cornerstone of his project's two eras, not to mention the one he has admittedly been most proud of). Production: With Dan Swanö onboard assuring both drum and production duties (even if not at his Unisound lair), Nightwork still resembles that mid-nineties conventional swedish sound, although this new master from David Castillo (also responsible for Brave Murder Day's) lets all of its somber and funereal majesty properly come to life. Parting thoughts: A link between Diabolical Masquerade's more unsophisticated and audacious periods, Nightwork captures the nitty-gritty elements of both into an orchestra of harrowing proportions. A must for lovers of symphonic Black Metal. www.diabolicalmasquerade.com www.peaceville.com © 2007 The Lodge
