Marble Vinyl Reissues To Celebrate Anniversaries Of Landmark Albums From KATATONIA, ANATHEMA, AT THE GATES, DARKTHRONE, CANDLEMASS & MY DYING BRIDE; Video Trailer

Home to some of the most influential bands in the world of extreme metal, Peaceville Records have long since been a fertile ground for artists. From their early beginnings to carving extensive discography’s, with many artists reaching anniversaries that are more than worth celebrating, not merely for their age but for their contribution to the world of the extreme genres. In celebration of these momentous milestones Peaceville has pressed extremely limited marble vinyl versions of some of the band’s most hallowed releases.

The releases kick off with the 25 year anniversary of Anathema’s Alternative 4 and Katatonia’s Discouraged Ones. Two exceptional releases that changed the course of gothic blackened doom for years to come, influencing countless other artists in the process.

Among the 30th anniversaries come Katatonia’s debut of supreme gothic blackened doom metal Dance Of December Souls, Darkthrone’s 1993 masterpiece Under A Funeral Moon, and Anathema’s fragile yet aggressive debut Serenades. As well the Gothenburg black metal tinged At The Gates’ classic that was With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness and My Dying Bride’s blueprint for the gothic doom genre Turn Loose The Swans.

The reissues are capped off with the 1988 Candlemass classic Ancient Dreams, which marks its 35th anniversary and is the album that followed the now legendary Nightfall to rightfully sit atop the pantheon of some of the band’s all time finest work.

Accompanying the announcement comes a trailer, created by Matthew Vickerstaff, which showcases each release in all their glory. Watch below.
