As the story goes... In 1998, Swedish blackened death metal band Fatal Embrace recorded an album titled Hail Down Deep. Alas, the album never saw the light of day... until now.
Twenty-six years after its originally intended release date, Fatal Embrace resurrected Hail Down Deep and is ready to unleash it upon the world. The album has now been re-recorded with new vocals by the band's lyricist, Henric Serholt. Hail Down Deep was mixed and mastered by drummer Christian Silver and will finally see the light of day on 27 September via Black Lion Records.
Fatal Embrace released its debut album, Shadowsoul's Garden, in November 1997. A few months later - determined to create a near-perfect record - the band recorded Hail Down Deep. However, the members soon got involved with other bands, and Hail Down Deep remained unreleased for decades.
In 2023, the band wrote and released Manifestum Infernalis, which became the catalyst that led to the long-awaited unveiling of Hail Down Deep. Link
