Hanging Garden – Inherit The Eden

Genre: Melodic Doom Metal / Death-Doom

The "Deep Dive" Details:

• The Spikefarm Heritage: This is the debut full-length album from the Finnish masters of gloom. Spikefarm was a sub-label of Spinefarm Records, dedicated to more experimental or darker metal. Because Spikefarm was eventually absorbed into Universal Music, original pressings with the Spikefarm logo and the NAULA 087 catalog number are the preferred copies for collectors of the "Finnish Doom" sound.

• The "Post-Metal" Influence: While labeled as Doom/Death, this specific album is noted for its early incorporation of "Post-Metal" atmosphere. It features long, sprawling instrumental sections that led critics to compare them to early Cult of Luna or Katatonia during their Brave Murder Day era.

• The Ari Mikkonen Connection: This album features the distinct guitar work of Ari Mikkonen, formerly of the legendary band Beherit. His transition from black metal to this melodic, funeral-paced doom gave the album a "pedigree" that made it an instant cult classic in the European underground.

• Production Anomalies: The album was recorded at Popstudio in Finland. Collectors often note that the "low-end" (bass frequencies) on this CD is exceptionally heavy compared to modern compressed "loudness war" reissues. If your CD sounds massive in a high-end stereo system, you likely have the uncompressed original master.

• Matrix / Runout Info:

  • UK/European Press: Look for [Logotype] NAULA 087 in the hub.

  • Manufacturer: Often pressed by Arvato Digital Services (look for the "BERTELSMANN" or "Arvato" logo in the matrix).

• Condition Note: The booklet features very dark, saturated photography by Juha Tolonen. Due to the high-ink density on the matte paper used by Spikefarm, these booklets are prone to "silverfish" damage or sticking if they have been kept in humid environments. A "clean" booklet with no white spots or sticking is a major value-plus.
