Diabolical Masquerade released 4 albums in total, before Blakkheim laid the project to rest in 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNightwork\u003c\/em\u003e was the third album by \u003cstrong\u003eDiabolical Masquerade\u003c\/strong\u003e. It was recorded at The Sanctuary in April 1998 and saw a release later that year. The album was produced by Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia) and Blakkheim. Although a solo-project, Blakkheim enlisted the help of Dan Swanö to perform the drums, as well as contributing with some keyboards and backing vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiabolical Masquerade\u003c\/strong\u003e was based primarily around symphonic\/melodic black metal; creating eerie atmospheres through keyboards and utilizing more high energy and technical compositions than those of his main band, with complex patterns of riffs and hooks. This particular album saw a greater integration of synths than previously, to convey a strong horror theme. To further expand this atmosphere, cello and flute were also incorporated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peaceville","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50474824597835,"sku":"1122649","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/fb3c21ba-6701-4914-9909-1486ae42d09a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727438843","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/nightwork","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
