August 22, 2025

This autumn, a new pressing of the classic NONE long-sleeve initially printed alongside their sophomore record “Life has gone on long enough” will be available once again.

Out of print for many years, we have received numerous requests for another pressing of the “A Coffin for a Bed” shirts so with summer dying fast, now seemed like the time to do it.

Available to pre-order now with shipping scheduled for late September.
The new pressing will be handled by Hellsmith and printed on Gildan SoftStyle (GI6400) shirts.

ALBUM RELEASE: Listless - selftitled

April 30, 2025

Forged in the grey skies of the pacific northwest, LISTLESS evokes a deep sense of foreboding dread on its debut album, transporting the listener to despondency and distress and creating the perfect soundtrack for quiet contemplative evenings. Today marks the official release of Listless' first chapter, so put on some headphones, settle into a dark space (or better yet, a nighttime walk), and let yourself get transported through this record of evocative depressive black metal!

Order "Listless"...

VINYL RE-RELEASE : Hekseblad - Kaer Morhen

April 30, 2025

Last year when we released Hekseblad's debut album "Kaer Morhen", the vinyl sold out in a matter of days which convinced us to add a third variant to the pressing, and that was also sold out by the summer. Since then, many of you asked if we had extra copies lying around or if we would do a repress. We didn't get to it immediately but the latest pressing arrived here about a month ago and we just held off on the release until today - April 19 - which is fittingly the one year anniversary of t...

April 30, 2025

We just premiered the first lyric video from Norilsk's latest album "Antipole" for the track D'ombre et de glace (l'asphyxie)

Video Credits:

Filmed and Edited by: Erik Labossiere and Kristin Wagner

Featuring: Sarah Fiset

This song is about anhedonia: the inability to feel anything, and the feeling that someone or something took something away from you. As if your world’s outside crust gets turned inward and your core becomes one cold place. There is an analogy with the quallupilluk, an in...

SONG PREMIERE : Norilsk - Antipole

January 31, 2025

We are premiering the title track from Norilsk’s new album, ‘Antipole.’ The song opens like a portal to the album, presenting cold melodies, ominous doom riffs, and the haunting atmosphere of a seemingly barren land. The song is about the Shadow People, which have been witnessed by various cultures around the world, including in the Arctic region.
