 Het Vagevuur - Extreme Metal Radio ShowEvery Thursday night, we obliterate the airwaves with an hour of extreme metal ranging from funeral doom through thrash and death to black, all of them in carefully selected portions with a good slice of info on the side. We're on local Radio Scorpio (Leuven, Belgium) which is the longest running non-commercial radio station in Belgium, meaning we play what WE want, not what any sponsor tells us to. And it shows; we go far beyond the mainstream. If you wan... Continue reading ...

Hello all, Well... due to the need to raise money for some of our upcoming releases - namely the 2CD Exiled From Light - There is no beauty left here..., and the upcoming The Foetal Mind Digipack, as well as interesting new music from Astral Luminous and Neige et Noirceur plus T-Shirts etc. (you get the idea), and the fact that over the past 10 days, there has not been a single sale at HDR, and generally low sales for all of 2010 so far, I need to give people incentive to buy, and hopefully a...

Nick Skog is the owner of Canadian-based Hypnotic Dirge Records, as well as the man behind the neoclassical / black ambient project Ancient Tundra. Hailing from the often forgotten province of Saskatchewan (which is nestled firmly between Alberta and Manitoba), the project and label get little local attention, however have managed a well-placed international foothold in their mere 3 years of existence. Hypnotic Dirge Records, for the time being, focuses primarily on Dark Ambient / Black... Continue reading ...

So...
Despite the way many people view Social Networking sites such as
facebook, it is really no different than myspace, except it seems it
has become more acceptable for bands and lables to have Myspace
profiles than Facebook profiles when in reality it is essentially the
same thing.
I am fairly sure that Facebook is becoming much
more popular than myspace overall and people with regular profiles are
on facebook more often than... Continue reading ...

First of all, I wanted to mainly write this update to explain my disapearance in the past week, and also the general inactivity that has occured ranging back for almost two weeks now.
I had reached a time in which I felt generally uninspired and did not have much motivation to do anything - record lable wise or any other interests of mine. I pretty much just went to work, came home, slept and than drank the rest of the day/night. Afterwards between May 10th - 13th , I went to Edmonton, AB, Ca... Continue reading ...
