Bewitched - это шведская трэш-блэк-метал-группа, собранная в 1995 году, когда Vargher (вокал, гитара) и Blackheim (гитара, вокал) решили сделать что-то весёлое и резкое. Заручившись помощью друзей, в частности Reaper (ударные), ребята отправились в студию Creampuff of Hate, где записали первое и единственное демо "Hellspell".Вскоре после этого музыкального штурма к группе присоединился Wrathyr (бас-гитара), и состав был укомплектован. Новый материал был написан достаточно быстро, и в августе 1995 года без какого либо контракта с лейблом Bewitched вошли в студию UMT (Умео) для записи дебютного альбома "Diabolical Desecration". После всего лишь трех дней безумия альбом был готов. Запись была разослана некоторым лейблам, в итоге был подписан контракт с Osmose Productions.

Британская арт-поп-команда «10 CC», образованная в 1970 году, вобрала в себя сливки манчестерской рок-сцены. Грэхэм Гулдмэн (вокал, гитара) ранее играл в «Mockingbirds» и писал хиты для «Yardbirds», «Hollies», «Herman’s Hermits» и Джеффа Бека, Эрик Стюарт (вокал, гитара) трудился у покорителей чартов «Wayne Fontana And The Mindbenders», а мультиинструменталисты Кевин Годли и Лол Крем являлись востребованными сессионщиками. В оригинале квартет назывался «Hotlegs», но после выхода одного альбома и тура в компании с «Moody Blues» название изменилось на «10 CC». Под новым именем команда дебютировала на разогреве у Нила Седаки, а затем на лейбле Джонатана Кинга «UK Records» выпустила сингл «Donna». Эта пародия на пятидесятнический ду-оп, сделанная в духе Заппы, добралась до второй строчки национальных списков и открыла счет длинной веренице хитов.

Похоже, музыканты, записывая данный альбом, ставили себе задачу исполнить рекордно «не блэковую» музыку в блэк-металической оболочке, при этом довольно активно используя думовые риффы, а в результате получив рекордно «не думовую» примесь. Если бы официально существовал такой термин, как «pop black metal», то, наверное, дебютник шведской пост-блэк-формации Ancient Wisdom следовало бы приписать к адептам ея в самую первую очередь
