Pre-Orders & Recent Releases
Spread the Disease - The Darkness. The Dread. The Suffering.
Decades after their primal beginnings, Spread The Disease return.
This newly forged lineup, featuring Shane Post (ex-Bird Of Ill Omen) on vocals, channels the same uncompromising spirit that defined Spread The Disease's earliest recordings.
"The Darkness. The Dread. The Suffering." is the product of two years of grim inspiration; a blistering collection of songs that captures the band’s original speed, ferocity, and intensity while pushing deeper into blackened experimentation. The result is darker and more fully realized than anything that the band has done before.
For fans of Integrity, Cryptopsy, Entombed, and early-Cradle of Filth
Eveale - Enter the Woodland Realm
Forest Dwellers, the time has come for Eveale's debut album, featuring two extremely prolific folks from Am I in Trouble? and Ashenheart.
Journey into the forest with us and experience unadorned black metal steeped in nature, folklore, and cycles of death and rebirth.
For fans of Borknagar, Emperor, Nidingr, Enslaved, and Darkthrone
Mordeo - Mordeo
Mordeo is direct, deliberate, and relentlessly hostile. Punk and hardcore roots grind against sludge and doom sensibilities, while death metal influences add density and force. The result is music that feels both feral and deliberate — fast when it needs to cut, slow when it needs to crush.
For fans of Full of Hell, His Hero Is Gone, Black Breath, and Primitive Man
Locusts and Honey - Shadow of My End
Since 2024's debut LP, Teach Me to Live That I Dread the Grave as Little as My Bed, Locusts and Honey has expanded from a duo to a seasoned full line-up, bringing their murky atmosphere and slow-striding walls of sound to live audiences.
Now the band presents their first recorded offering as a five-piece. Furthering the distinct style forged on their debut, the new EP, Shadow of My End, captures over 22 minutes of biting and bellicose blackened doom, interspersed with more restrained passages, both achingly sad and haunting in equal measure.
For fans of Mizmor, Dragged Into Sunlight, Esoteric, Corrupted, and William Basinski.
Oromet - The Sinking Isle
Oromet presents atmospheric funeral doom with a melodic emphasis without surrendering the all-encompassing heaviness that is the genre's hallmark. Where some seek to immiserate and drown the listener, Oromet explores the complete nature of sorrow as the band weaves the choke of despair and the lightness of serenity.
"The Sinking Isle" focuses on the inevitability of collapse and the cycles of ruin and rebirth. Adrift on cataclysmic seas, melody remains the compass – a hopeful light guiding the listener through themes of loss, nostalgia, and pessimism.
For fans of Mournful Congregation, Bell Witch, and Esoteric
This release is in collaboration with Transylvanian Recordings
Sakna - De Syv Dødssynder
Mid 2000's one-man project Sakna was the brainchild of late Canadian musician, Solemn. A fusion of epic Sognametal with emotive Atmospheric Black Metal, DSBM, Funeral Doom, Neo-Folk, and Dark Ambient.
Inspired by Dante's "Divine Comedy", "De Syv Dødssynder" is the culmination of his life's work, as he would take his own life in March of 2011 (at the young age of 18) after the writing and recording of the album was completed.
Over a decade since its original creation, Sakna's sole full length has been restored and remastered to completion, including 2 previously unreleased bonus tracks.
For fans of Windir, Emperor, Cor Scorpii, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Mournful Congregation
Corridoré - Abandon
A harrowing and emotionally resonant follow-up to their self-released 2019 debut, Abandon delves deep into themes of isolation, grief, and the fragile resilience of the human spirit.
Drawing comparisons to genre-defying acts like Deafheaven, Falls Of Rauros, Nothing, and Inter Arma, the band uses contrast and dynamic tension to powerful effect moving seamlessly between explosive blast beats, towering tremolo riffs, and moments of stark, melodic stillness.
Witherer - Shadow Without a Horizon
Witherer's debut album encapsulates the vile depths and dragging slowness of funeral doom, punctuated by the throttling chaos of black/death metal; churning violence gives way to airy, spectral passages, and mournful ambience is sliced through with feverish convulsions.
For fans of Spectral Voice, Bell Witch, The Ruins of Beverast, Thantifaxath, and Abyssal.
A Flock Named Murder - Incendiary Sanctum
A Flock Named Murder crafts an expansive and immersive sound—merging elements of black metal, post-metal, doom, and death metal into a seamless whole.
Their music resonates with fans of boundary-pushing acts like Agalloch, Inter Arma, Ulver, Ulcerate, and Cult of Luna.
Pyres - "YUN"
On their sophomore full-length, PYRES embrace a broad palette of influences that incorporates the furious energy of High on Fire, the melodic sludge metal of early era Baroness (First/Second) and Mastodon (Remission/Leviathan), and even delve into the realms of doom, grunge, and post-rock.
"YUN" showcases a band transformed. It was engineered by Greg Dawson (OLDE, Sons of Otis) and Simon Larochette (SARIN) then skillfully mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, YOB, Corrosion of Conformity), so you know this sounds absolutely massive.
Nepenthe - The Fading Promise of Tomorrow & Elegies of Loss and Doom
Nepenthe’s unique blend of doom, black metal, post-metal, goth rock, and neo-folk will excite fans of Woods of Ypres, Warning, Falls of Rauros, Harakiri for the Sky, and Panopticon.
We have brought together their 2020 debut EP, "Elegies of Loss and Doom" with a brand new 3-song EP titled "The Fading Promise of Tomorrow", available on CD and as a limited edition LP (only 100 copies)
