Nightmare Diaries is the second full-length album by Norwegian band Ancestral Legacy, released under the British independent record label Femme Metal Records on March 1, 2010, after signing a contract in December 2008.[1]
Nightmare Diaries was recorded in late 2007 and masterized in mid-2008 by guitarist Knut Magne Valle (Arcturus, Ulver, Fleurety) at Mølla Studio in Gjerstad. However, it wasn't published until almost a year and a half later, due to production delays.
It is the last album recorded with singer Elin Anita Omholt, who left the band in the late 2008.
The album was released in two versions: CD and Promo. Promo version includes a plastic sleeve with a two sided paper insert, front cover image with "PROMO COPY" in white letters, back side band picture, a short biography and album info.
