Nightwork, released in 1998, is a product of that restlessness, a record that sits somewhere between the Norwegian second wave and something far more theatrical and strange.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere a lot of late-nineties Swedish black metal was content to replay the Scandinavian template, Nyström twisted it into something more unpredictable. Nightwork has that cold, fog-soaked tone you'd expect, but there's a compositional curiosity underneath, melodic detours and left-field arrangements that make it feel like a fever dream rather than a blueprint. It's the kind of album that rewards patience from people who've already worn out their Arcturus and Borknagar records and want to go deeper into that experimental Nordic rabbit hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD. 1998 original release. Diabolical Masquerade was a solo project by Anders Nyström of Katatonia.
