Dance of December Souls

Dance of December Souls is the first full-length album by Katatonia. Day DiSyraah is actually a pseudonym for Dan Swanö of Edge of Sanity (among other musical projects), who also produced the record. The album was released on CD in 1993 by No Fashion Records and LP by Helion Records, released in the USA in 1999 by Century Black. In 2004, record label Black Lodge reissued the album with all new artwork, but the band has stated on its website that it does not support this release for personal reasons. In 2007 the album was reissued once again, this time under Peaceville UK with a blue version of the original cover and all five songs from the Jhva Elohim Meth EP appended as bonus tracks.
