Nymph Faithest was founded in 1993 by Jan Bohman in Sweden.
Bohman wanted to make illustrations with sounds and to depict his inner thoughts within the soundscapes.
The music was initially created as painkillers to the trivial and the narrow rules that people live their lives.
Back then, Bohman was not willing to share his compositions to anyone,
the music was all to personal and not to be played in the outside world.
The salvation came when he collaborated with Jouni Havukainen of In Slaughter Natives.
As a live member and lyric provider on the In Slaughter Natives "Purgate My Stain" CD,
Bohman built up his confidence so that he finally share his compositions.
In the spring of 1996 Bohman moved to Prague for some months, and it was also there where he received
most of the inspiration to finish his album "Longing For The Otherworld" and wrote/adapted most of the songs on the CD.
He also got inspired by the rich cultural environment and shot the photos that later were used on the sleeve of the CD.
The music of Nymph Faithest is the sounds of deception and of inner search.
The object is to bring the listener into his own Otherworld with a depressive but ravelling state of mind.
The journey to the Otherworld is the admittance to the phrase "Die before you die, say yes to death... yes to yourself".
After the Prague time Bohman went back to Sweden and attended a tour with In Slaughter Natives,
where in Nuremberg he established contact with Art Konkret label who decided to release the material.
The CD contains seven tracks and two of them are written together with Peter Andersson of Raison D’être.
