Crematory reissues Vinyl Editions of Six Seminal Albums
Due to high demand, Crematory have furthermore announced to reissue and bring back to life: Illusions (1995), Das Deutsche Album (1996) and Awake (1997)!
In the mid-1990s, Crematory emerged as a leading force in the German gothic metal scene. Formed in 1991, the band fused death metal roots with darkwave and gothic influences, creating a unique sound marked by growled vocals, melodic keyboards, and melancholic themes. By the time Illusions was released in 1995, Crematory had refined their identity, gaining international attention with emotionally charged songs and powerful live performances. Their work during this era helped shape the sound of European gothic metal, and alongside ’90s cult acts such as Type O Negative, Tiamat, Moonspell, The Gathering, and Paradise Lost, Crematory became one of the most successful representatives of their genre.
