Death – Pierce Me is the only full-length album released by Swedish black metal act Silencer. Considered to be a cult classic, the album is a landmark of the "depressive" style of black metal.[1]
The album saw a re-release in 2006 by Autopsy Kitchen Records. It was re-released again by Lupus Lounge in 2009 with the track "Death – Pierce Me (Demo '98)" as bonus track and in digipack format. A vinyl version was also released by Prophecy Productions.
Recording
Recording sessions included three musicians: Nattramn on vocals, Andreas Casado on guitars and bass and session member Steve Wolz on drums.[2]
To propel his screams heard on the album, Nattramn allegedly self-harmed; cutting his wrists and hands. It lasted the recording of the album, with the intention that his cries of pain were the most authentically possible.[3]
