Official CD compilation documenting the earliest years of this legendary Swedish Black/ Death Metal band, one of the most influential acts in the history of European extreme music. "The Past is Alive (The Early Mischief)" gathers the classic "Into Infinite Obscurity" EP (1991), the 1990 demo "The Grief Prophecy", tracks from the pre-"The Somberlain" promotional recordings and the demo by SATANIZED, a side project involving members of DISSECTION during their formative years.
Far more than a simple compilation, this release serves as an essential historical document, allowing listeners to follow the evolution of Jon Nödtveidt and his bandmates from their earliest recordings to the threshold of their debut album. The material reveals the raw and sinister foundations of a band that would later redefine the boundaries between Black Metal and melodic Death Metal. An extensive booklet featuring photos, lyrics and detailed band texts completes this indispensable collection.
