A veritable Traveling Wilburys of the Nordic melodeath scene, Cemetery Skyline’s debut brings together musicians from Dark Tranquillity, Amorphis, Sentenced, Omnium Gathium/Insomnium and Dimmu Borgir, all key players in the development of death/black metal in the mid-late 90s.
Having each long since flown the extreme metal underground to master more melodic and accessible musical forms, this high-gloss, pop-savvy project represents the apotheosis of that trajectory. These five seasoned veterans have all amassed lengthy discographies and weighty legacies over 20-30 years, honing, experimenting, maturing, and getting really bloody good at it. So when they combine to form an all-new enterprise, they don’t so much hit the ground running as hit the ground cruising in a high-end Volvo.
