The Secrets of the Black Arts

Originally recorded at Dan Swanö's Unisound Studios but the band did not like the dull sound so it was re-recorded at Peter Tägtgren's The Abyss in June 1995.

Also released in 1996 by No Fashion Records as limited edition Digipak.

Released in the US by Necropolis Records on gatefold vinyl albums limited to 500 copies, printed by them under the label name Necrohell.
