Cult Swedish band Opthalamia was formed in 1989 by Tony "IT" Sarkka, mainly known for his dark band Abruptum, (which was signed to DSP, the label of ex-Mayhem guitarist Euronymous) & his heavy presence in the Scandinavian black metal scene in the late 80's & early 90's.Description
THE 1994 DEBUT ALBUM OF CULT SWEDISH BLACKENED MELODIC DOOM METAL, FEATURING MEMBERS OF ABRUPTUM & DISSECTION. PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CDOpthalamia was a land of pure fantasy created by IT & the songs are connected to stories based around this fantasy world. The original vocalist of the band was All (also in Abruptum), but he was then replaced by Shadow (Jon Nodtveidt of classic death/black metal band, Dissection). Shadow handled vocals on this album, the band's debut album, which was originally released in 1994.
Though the band could be classified as black metal, there is much more to Opthalamia, with varied metal influences, tempo changes & melodic passages becoming progressively more prominent, helping to distinguish them from their peers.
The album was produced by the legendary Dan Swano (Opeth, Katatonia, etc) & Opthalamia at Unisound in 1993.
