A Night of Daggers

A Night of Daggers is the debut album from Swedish metal band Shadow Voyage, released on December 13th 1991 via Brutal Theatre. In this release, Shadow Voyage's sound is primarily death metal, whereas following albums and work took to a more melodic death metal sound. It is the only album to feature Laureg Viksen on bass, who departed shortly after the band decided on a change of sound.

The album was re-issued in 2001 to commemorate its 10th anniversary, with bonus tracks and live songs. It was also released in a Special Edition box in 2007, containing a A Night of Daggers-era poster, signed by the band in 1991. Although the band has steered away from the sound of A Night of Daggers, Erik Sturgens has said "it is part of our [Shadow Voyage] evolution. It's different to anything else we did after, but it is still part of our history and we must respect it". Erik Sturgens and Martin Vargeld are the only remaining members of Shadow Voyage from the A Night of Daggers album line-up.
