We didn't know where to go to record a demo." Åkerfeldt had sent out rehearsal tapes to several labels, but never received a reply. That would cost us, at least, a couple of hundred bucks . Åkerfeldt explained, "We didn't have any money to spend on things like that. For them, to go into the studio to record a demo was as big a step as going in to record an album. Opeth were signed by Candlelight without a demo.
Stefan Guteklint joined on bass, but left soon after the band signed its first record deal with Candlelight Records, in 1994. They rehearsed as a 3-piece for more than a year. He and Lindgren started writing material immediately. Isberg quit in 1992, due to creative differences. Pettersson later left the band, and Lindgren switched to guitar. He accepted the offer to play bass in Opeth because he wanted to do something more serious. He was replaced by Åkerfeldt's friend Peter Lindgren, who was playing in a joke band called Sylt i krysset. After the show, De Farfalla left Opeth to spend time with his girlfriend. Other bands playing the show were At the Gates, Therion, Desecrator, Megaslaughter and Sarcazm. Döring and Dimeo had quit the band since the first show, so Opeth contacted two members of the band Crimson Cat, Kim Pettersson and Johan DeFarfalla, and asked them to join them onstage. The band played a second show in Gothenburg. We were so fucking nervous that we all wanted to cancel the fucking gig and just go back home." Åkerfeldt commented about the show: "I reckon it was probably the worst appearance one can have witnessed. Only two songs were performed for their set. Opeth played a show in February 1991, along with Therion, Excruciate and Authorise, in Stockholm. They rehearsed in an elementary school using old 60's equipment that they found there. Anders Nordin, Nick Döring, and Andreas Dimeo were brought in as replacements. The other members of the band took exception to this, and quit Opeth, leaving only Isberg and Åkerfeldt. Isberg invited Mikael Åkerfeldt (of the recently disbanded band Eruption) to join Opeth. Opeth was formed in 1990 in Stockholm, Sweden, by David Isberg. Lee Barrett, the founder of Candlelight Records, enjoyed an Opeth rehearsal tape, and decided to sign the band. The band did not record a demo to get signed to a record label. The recording sessions occurred at the old Unisound studio, in Finspång with production by Opeth alongside Dan Swanö. It was reissued in 2000 with one bonus track called "Into the Frost of Winter", an early unproduced rehearsal recording by the band.
