Death - Pierce Me


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 suicidal black metal genre.
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 " 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. An unknown player provided keyboards to the album; although as the demo version of the title track also features piano, it may have been played by Nattramn or Leere.
To enhance the emotional impact of his vocal delivery on the album, Nattramn allegedly self-harmed while recording his vocals in the studio; cutting his wrists and hands. It lasted the entire recording of the album with the intention of ensuring that his cries of pain were as authentic as possible.
