PRESENT:
In the book you will find the new prologue written by The Magus himself describing that period:
“…..late ‘80s-early 90’s. The golden era of the second wave of black metal. The age where extreme music was a never-ending storm of releases. When genres were formed and bands , which are now huge, were releasing demos. The time where music mattered and everyone was trying to find its own style, to walk its own dark path…”
Blasphemous was restored from original copies, not heavy manipulated in order to keep this underground feeling of the xeroxed original print.
Blasphemous cover logo was redesigned, keeping all the original elements, by the mighty Christophe Szpajdel (Lord of the Logos) and Tolis Yovanitis made lettering on the cover, index and editorial.
