Re-issue by Shadows Records, digipak edition

INFESTDEAD's “Satanic Serenades” unites all recordings by this Swedish death metal act led by Dan Swanö (Witherscape, ex-Edge Of Sanity, ex-Bloodbath), including the long deleted late 90's albums expanded with EP and demo material.
Remastered by Dan Swanö and featuring liner notes, all lyrics and updated artwork by Hjules (Destruction, Annihilator).
Legendary Swedish vocalist/multi-instrumentalist/producer Dan Swanö is perhaps best known for his work with Edge Of Sanity, Nightingale, Bloodbath, and recently Witherscape. Active since the early '90s, his career runs much deeper than this revered quartet, having produced seemingly countless bands from across the metal spectrum (Opeth, Dissection, Katatonia, Asphyx to name just a few) as well as launching or taking part in side projects including Moontower, Odyssey, Pan.Thy.Monium or Infestdead. The latter formed in 1993 and released two albums – “Hellfuck” (1997) and “Jesusatan” (1999) – plus EP/split releases.
From the debut EP “Killing Christ”, vocalist Dread (Tormented, ex-Marduk) and Dan had only one goal in mind: to create classic US inspired death metal like Deicide, Morbid Angel etc.!
The result was astonishing and in its remastered fashion sounds even more convincing and is blessed by Swanö's incredible songwriting talent. Even if it's just plain and violent death metal, Mr Swanö turns everything he touches into amazing music, be it prog or unholy extreme metal!
“Satanic Serenades” is an official 40+ tracks anthology release of the entire INFESTDEAD catalogue that now shall haunt the holy again!

After the success of Antichrist Rise To Power original release in 2019 on Nuclear War Now! Productions with over ten subsequent pressings the band felt there should be a official French version with complete text translation and expanded layout on the most cult label from France - Osmose Production

Antichrist Rise to Power is a violent declaration of allegiance to the Emperor’s dominion, from the mud-covered skeletons of Marengo to the jagged cliffs of St. Helena. The noble acceptance of forced exile, the inescapable chill of the prison cell, and the cruel rush of combat all fill the aristocrat’s appetite for his boundless quest for honor. 

Departure Chandelier’s music shimmers with the aesthetic ardor of apotheosis. It is a communion with the deceased, tracing the pathway of life transmuted into death over dishonor. Although comprised of members of Akitsa and Ash Pool, Departure Chandelier is wholly unique in style and substance and bears little overt resemblance to either of those projects.

Influences drawn from the esoteric realms of death, black, doom metal, dark ambient, and arcane literature converge to shape Spectral Voice’s most realized manifestation. Featuring the sonic prowess of M. Kolontyrsky (guitar), P. Riedl (guitar), and J. Barrett (bass)—also of Blood Incantation fame—alongside the drummer / vocalist E. Wendler, Spectral Voice weave a sonic tapestry with a level of excellence that surpasses even their own formidable standards.

Sparagmos unquestionably stands as a definitive death metal highlight of 2024.

Despite Deserted Fear‘s German roots, the band’s material on their debut full lenth, My Empire reeks instead of a rather diverse range of influences. The stench of death that reeks in the air is suffocating as the band preludes their filthy brand of death metal on the Intro track, but once the madness begins with The Battalion of Insanities there is no stopping Deserted Fear. Right from the get go there is a rather strong Asphyx influence with the riffing style that Fabian and Mahne utilise, though there is a somewhat slight Polish sound thanks to vocalist Mahne’s growls, sounding like a fusion between Nergal’s deep, hollow growls and Martin van Drunen’s howls, some of the very best vocalists in death metal.
