Tiamat – Sumerian Cry (CD, 1999, Deadline Music CLP 0486-2)

Why This CD Matters
Sumerian Cry is Tiamat’s debut full-length album and captures the band’s early death metal and black metal roots before their later transition into gothic and psychedelic metal territory. The album combines raw production, occult themes, and aggressive riffing across tracks like “In The Shrines Of The Kingly Dead” and “The Sign Of The Pentagram.” It remains an important release within the early Swedish extreme metal scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Collector Note
Original 1999 US reissue pressing on Deadline Music. Early Tiamat releases remain highly collectible among death metal and black metal collectors due to the band’s stylistic evolution and underground influence.
