Import from EU. Limited edition of 199 copies on blue/black galaxy vinyl, remastered, incl. download.

Depressive Silence was founded by RAL & B.S. from Mightiest in 1994. The band is one of the cult acts and forerunners of the Dungeon Synth genre alongside Mortiis and Jim Kirkwood.

When Depressive Silence split up and RAL & B.S. created their individual Dungeon Synth projects, B.S. founded Solanum and RAL founded Gothmog.

Solanum released two demos: "Spheres of Time" in 1997 and "Spectral Poetry" in 1998. Compared to Depressive Silence Solanum's concept is more cosmic and its sound has a different, rather uplifting and more futuristic atmosphere, but like Depressive Silence the Solanum demos are genre classics and provided a considerable influence for later Dungeon Synth and Cosmic Black Metal projects. Both are now being reissued by Northern Silence with new, exclusive artwork by David Thiérée.
