„The Nocturnal Silence”, @necrophobic.official ’s debut full-length record is out now! Originally released in 1993 and remastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound, this black & death metal milestone comes with a ten-song track list for the first time. Band founder and drummer Joakim Sterner about the reason why there are different versions ofthis album, “When we recorded ‘The Nocturnal Silence’ in Studio Sunlight (Stockholm, Sweden) in March 1993, we recorded 10 tracks. During the mixing process, the band felt that the track ‘Inborn Evil’ did not get the right vibe and feel, so it was agreed that the song should be dropped from the album. In the mastering of the album, the wrong song was dropped, an instrumental song called ‘Shadows of the Moon’. This error was not known to the band or the label until the promotion copies arrived. But it was too late to change that error. The layout was done and so were the manufacturing of the album. So, the first version that was pressed of the album had ‘Inborn Evil’ on it, but it said ‘Shadows of the Moon’ in the track listing and on the layout. A new mastering was made, with the right songs and the layout was corrected and came out on Cargo Records a little time later, under license from Black Mark Production, in the United States. Does the story end there and all was great again? Of course not. Because when it was time to repress the album again, because all copies were sold out, the repress was from the first mastering - the wrong version. In 2002, we reissued the album on Hammerheart Records and we decided to go with the “wrong version”, but corrected the track list and made a re-design of the album. Now, in 2022, it will be reissued again, BUT this time, we will not drop a song and by that make ‘The Nocturnal Silence’ be released with the complete recording from 1993 - with all 10 tracks - for the first time - a unique release, with layout that is really close to the original design.” Follow the link in our story to order your copy and listen to the songs on your favorite streaming platform.
