[edit] Recording and production
Beyond the Darkest Veils of Inner Wickedness was recorded and released in the same year (1989) as the band's first demo album Paroxysmal Holocaust. The album was recorded in a Swedish 16-track studio.
Beyond the Darkest... was the first album where Christofer Johnsson, the only band's all-time member and founder of Therion, started to sing, although after recording he was dissatisfied about produced work and also about quality of the sound:
On this demo I started to sing. But I had a terrible headache the day I had to record the vocals [...], which made me sing very deep as it hurt less (!) and kind of killed the feeling in it. We couldn't afford an extra day in the studio, so no other choice... But who cares, the demo sucked anyway, with a terrible sound etc.
—Christofer Johnsson[1]
