Welcome 'Old Forgotten Lands' to the Hypnotic Dirge Records family!

Hypnotic Dirge Records is pleased to announce that we have added Old Forgotten Lands onto the HDR artist roster! Although we were not activily seeking out any additional projects, we took this great opportunity to sign Old Forgotten Lands after the project and its previous lable affiliate EEE Recordings decided on a mutal agreement to go separate ways. I also want to point out the fact that there are no problems between the project and its previous lable, and they are still go good terms. You can read the official statement from Elan O'Neal by going to the newly created OLD FORGOTTEN LANDS ARTIST BLOG. For those of you who have not heard of this project before, and want to get a little bit of background on the project, or view a brand new video update from Elan O'Neal concerning the project's new lable, new instruments, and new direction, you can go to the OLD FORGOTTEN LANDS ARTIST PROFILE on the HDR website.

Of course, most of you will know that Hypnotic Dirge Records, and Old Forgotten Lands has worked together in the past in the release of the Old Forgotten Lands/Ancient Tundra - Equinox Split Album and you can view more information about that release by clicking HERE.

I look forward to what the future holds for this lable! Although releases have come in a slower pace over the past few months, it is really the calm before the storm. As long as we get the neccesary funding from sales, we have plans to release new albums with brand new material from Exiled From Light, Neige et Noirceur, Astral Luminous, The Foetal Mind, and Funeral Fornication as soon as possible!

Symbiosis/Ancient Tundra Split CD+DVD available to pre-order NOW!

The next Hypnotic Dirge Records release is perhaps our most extensive and professional release to date. We are proud to release the long-awaited split album from the ambient artists Symbiosis and Ancient Tundra. Our very first DVD disc is included in this new album which comprises over 2 hours worth of audio and video work from these two fine ambient artists. The release date is set for March 14th, 2010 which is the date that the release will be shipped out to all pre-order customers. You can pre-order a copy by clicking HERE. On that page, you will also find some of the video footage that will appear on the DVD, as well as a complete tracklisting and album information.

We will post pictures of our latest release as we get nearer to the official release date, but one thing is for certain, this is a monumental release for all fans of ambient, classical. and industrial music and a chance to own the first ever Hypnotic Dirge Records DVD release.

In other news, we were supposed to release a free download single from Immundus on February 13th, 2010 but we have been having some problems lately with our webserver, and have not been able to post it on our downloads page. We will hopefully have this problem resolved soon and regret not being able to release this album on the planned release date but seeing as its a digital download, the problem is not a large one. You can download new music from the fanastic experimental ambient artist Immundus by going to his official website www.immundus.net

Astral Luminous News and Interviews

Scott Johnson of Astral Luminous has announced the following statement with regards to his upcoming album and the unfortunate theft of his equipment just a few days ago:

Scott Johnson: At the moment, I am writing the material for the 2nd album. It will be the first official studio recorded album! I am very excited about this release! I have a great feeling about it. However, there has been a major delay... The other day I had all my things stolen from me. My electric and acoustic guitars, my bass, and my computer and hard drive. All the information from the new album is gone... Good thing the material was not finished. Hopefully the information is not in the wrong hands... anyways, I do still have my health and creativity which will never go away. I am very thankful for that at least. So I will continue to complete the synth portions of the album, but will have to wait for my new guitar and bass, which should be soon. Besides that, the artwork and design of the album 2 layout will be a collaboration between Médan Savamhel (Ba'al Graphics) and Bernardo Alatorre Tapia (Rotengroth). The album artwork will be found in the gallery. Shortly after it's creation the first ever Astral Luminous t-shirt will be available! Please keep checking in for updates."

Prior to this theft, Scott recently conducted three interviews with the following web publications: (Click on links to be directed straight to the interviews)  HEATHEN HARVEST  :  BLASTBEAT (Eng. Translated Version)  :  VOLTAGE MEDIA

New Projects signed to the Hypnotic Dirge Records Roster

-I am pleased to announce that we have expanded our artist roster today to welcome Valerio Orlandini and Funeral Fornication into the HDR family. This marks only our second roster expansion ever since HDR began and the first since welcoming 'Exiled From Light' onto the roster. It is best to stick to a relatively small roster and as always...quality over quantity is behind this decision.

Valerio Orlandini

Valerio Orlandini is the dark ambient side-project from the great italian mastermind behind Symbiosis. With this project, Valerio Orlandini focuses more on a straight dark ambient approach compared to the neo-classical and instrumental approaches sometimes found in Symbiosis. HDR will release the debut Valerio Orlandini album soon!
VALERIO ORLANDINI MYSPACE PAGE

Funeral Fornication

Funeral Fornication is a one-man project hailing from BC, Canada which began as a pagan black metal band with thrash metal influences. This project has been in the works for 5-6 years releasing demos and then its debut album a couple years ago on Funeral Moonlight Productions. Work is now underway and almost completed for the second album 'Paganheart' Funeral Fornication's style has evolve over the years and now work has begun on a more depressive black metal based album entitled 'Solitude and Suicide' which will be released on HDR in late summer/fall. The track 'The Weeping Tree' which you can find on the Funeral Fornication myspace profile is one of the tracks slated for release on this album. HDR will also carry the debut album on the distro. The past releases from this band, however being different from the signature sound of Hypnotic Dirge, is very strong and deserves your listen!
