Thirty years ago, we started our journey with our self-produced demo MCD called ‘Sylphlike’, which fortunately continues to this day. At that time, when letters were still sent through the worldwide paper & pen underground, we were very busy getting the word out (at times, we sent 30-40 mailings a day). And since melodic death metal was the hot shit back then, demand was correspondingly high, and we pressed several more times, reaching a total of 7,000 units sold—simply unbelievable!

And since not only the band but also ‘Sylphlike’ is turning 30 this year, we had the brilliant idea of re-recording the entire material and re-releasing it as an official release. And since our last album, Shadowreaper, was so well received by you, we worked with Fredrik Nordström / Studio Fredman (At The Gates, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity) again for the mixing and mastering and with Paolo Girardi again for the artwork. The latter hand-painted the original photograph of the artwork and breathed ominous life into it. We hope you like it as much as we do!

Thanks to our hard-working label Apostasy Records, in addition to the obligatory digipack and download formats, there will also be several limited vinyl versions and a tape version. And best of all, pre-sales start today. (PRE-ORDER HERE).

We hope this special release makes you extra happy and finally, want to thank you for the years of support, without which none of this would make any sense!
