Eisenwald has announced the reissue of the classic Scandinavian black metal Mörk Gryning's debut, Tusen År Har Gått.

This re-release comes using the original artwork available, designed with the original No Fashion release in mind, taking elements from the original layout with attention to detail and adding new, optimized parts. An expanded 16 pages booklet includes the classic ‘90s band photos, unpublished images, and material from the album area. Instead of usual liner notes, a newly conducted interview around the album and early time of the band by Thomas Vänäänen will be included.

Mörk Gryning (Swedish for "dark dawn") arose during the year 1993 and both founding members Draakh Kimera and Goth Gorgon started out to create their mystical brand of black metal. After two demos in '93 and '94, they signed with the infamous Swedish extreme metal label No Fashion Records (Marduk, Dark Funeral, Dissection, Katatonia, Opthalamia).

During May 1995 the duo (both members beeing only 16 and 19 years) entered the Unisound studios together with Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity) to record their debut album Tusen År Har Gått; a nine track theme album about the story of Nidas, Eldon, Erin, and Cahn. It included lyrics in Swedish and English and managed to create a beautiful classic from the early days of the Scandinavian black metal.

Looking back today, Jonas Berndt (Goth Gorgon) adds: "I've listened through the album and I'm proud that it sounds so fresh and honest still today. It's great songs with nothing superfluous to it.”

Besides the nine album tracks, two previously unreleased tracks have been added to the tracklisting, one being the first track the band ever recorded. No modern re-mastering was done for the record, the album was mastered before the "loudness" war at cutting room and still sounds excellent today. Officially licensed from Universal Music Sweden and available as jewelcase CD and deluxe hot foil debossed Digipak CD edition limited to 500 copies worldwide! A vinyl edition is under preparation and will be issued at a later point in 2016.
