Downloads
The Downloads section on the website is meant to showcase certain releases by the Hypnotic Dirge Artists that will in most cases not be released as a physical entity. Some examples of this are original demos, downloadable EP's, Official HDR download compilations and other specials as well as some sold out items. Each download link will direct you to megaupload.com and the link provided will include all of the songs as well as artwork and credits.
From time to time, I will also feature some outside projects' albums for free download, mostly from friends of mine or associates of Hypnotic Dirge Records. All of these albums are featured here with the artists permission.
Enjoy!

This compilation album has been created for the purpose of celebrating the one-year aniversery of 'Hypnotic Dirge Records.' It serves as the first complete audio representation of the lable as a whole featuring a track from each of the Hypnotic Dirge Artists. Over the past year, Hypnotic Dirge Records has grown a great deal, gained exposure and respect from fans of the music, artists, record lables, and publishers/promoters alike, and we continue to aim to spread the name of Hypnotic Dirge and its artists around the world. Since its inception in October 2008, HDR has also made a few changes and expanded its artist roster to form the most solid and varied lineup possible. All of the Hypnotic Dirge Artists has something different to offer musically and artistically whildst all keeping within the standards of the HDR vision. It is my utmost pleasure to be able to offer this free compilation album both as a special 'thank you' to supporters of Hypnotic Dirge, to offer previews of upcoming releases as well as previously released tracks, and to be able to introduce the sound and vision of Hypnotic Dirge and its artists to new listeners around the world!
Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and kind words over the past 12 months and be prepared for some more fantastic releases over the next upcoming 12 months.
