Anders Nyström, also known as Blakkheim (or formerly Blackheim) is a Swedish musician who was born on April 22, 1975 in Stockholm.

Guitarist Anders Nyström founded the Swedish dark rock band (doom/death until 1997) Katatonia together with singer Jonas Renkse in 1991. Blakkheim is also involved in the songwriting, backing vocals, keys, programmings, arrangements, art direction and produces Katatonia together with Jonas Renkse.

Other projects:

He used to be a member of Bewitched from 1995 - 1997, is still together with Jonas Renkse in the death metal tribute project Bloodbath [which has existed since 1998] and released four albums as the one man black metal act Diabolical Masquerade (1993 - 2004). Rumours and ambiguous statements by Dan Swanö are hinting at a revival of Diabolical Masquerade, but nothing is confirmed yet.
