Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Callisto’s impactful debut album, Svart Records is proud to bring it to you for the first time ever on wax!

Callisto is a post-metal band from Turku, Finland formed in 2001. They’ve headlined several tours in Europe, opened for High On Fire on their UK tour, and showcased in Canada and the United States.

Whilst their early works are hardcore and metal, the debut album »True Nature Unfolds« has a strong sludge metal and doom influence. It was recorded in 2004 by the late Mieszko Talarczyk (Nasum) and introduced to Earache Records a year later through Johannes Persson (Cult Of Luna), earning the band worldwide distribution.

»True Nature Unfolds« was originally released only on CD in 2004 by Fullsteam Records in Finland and Earache Records in the US and UK a year later. The album delivers a breathtaking mix of atmospheric soundscapes, heavy riffs, and haunting melodies. Each track invites you on an emotional journey, blending post-metal intensity with introspective lyricism. Don’t miss this powerful musical experience—let the journey begin!

The 20th anniversary edition of »True Nature Unfolds« is presented on double vinyl in a glorious gatefold cover, with new album art by the band’s drummer Ariel Björklund. Available versions are the Svart exclusive green/red/black marble vinyl, limited golden yellow vinyl, and classic black vinyl. Release date December 13th, 2024.
