Hypnotic Dirge Shop | Bandcamp

Album notes:
With a fresh approach on cosmic black metal, novæ conveys the awe, anxiety, and desolation of empty space through the perspective of the Apollo 11 Mission. 

Unfolding like a transmission from the cosmos, discordant guitars clash against ethereal droning synth and authentic samples taken from the Apollo 11 MOCR ACR Collection to craft an immersive atmosphere simultaneously unnerving and tra...

UPCOMING RELEASE: Conjuring - Memento Mori

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, In : Conjuring 
Hypnotic Dirge Records will release the new album from Swiss project Conjuring on May 8.


Conjuring is a one-man Atmospheric Black Metal project founded by Alvar. Blending melancholic tremolo passages, immersive atmospheres, and dynamic songwriting - balancing fragility and intensity - the sound draws inspiration from vast landscapes, shifting seasons, fading light, and the quiet presence of ancient spirits.

The upcoming album, "Memento Mori", marks Conjuring’s most mature work to date. Across...

UPCOMING VINYL: Tumultuous Ruin - An Abscess on the Heart of the State

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Thursday, February 19, 2026, In : Tumultuous Ruin 
Rooted in fury and urgency, "An Abscess on the Heart of the State" is a raw onslaught of destructive and dirty black metal filled with aggressive and discordant riffs that invoke the spirit of the second-wave sound with cold soaring tremolo leads brushing against urgent rhythm sections. The occasional hint of death metal and hardcore, the intuition to know when to add a hypnotizing lead or haunting synth line, and the pacing and tempo variations throughout the runtime keeps the album captivat...

It is a great honour to officially announce the release of De l’Abîme Naît l’Aube's debut record "Rituel: Initiation" this evening! The culmination of years of creation and refinement from the band and months of preparation on my end, the time when we can finally share the album in full and present it as a complete listening experience is something special.

• Album Notes • 
Harkening back to the sultry, vampiric spirit of 90s black metal, "Death is Immortal" marks Nefarious Grime's first foray into the genre, departing from her previously darkwave/gothic-infused sound.

Reminiscent of Cradle of Filth's early erotic-horror flair, Nefarious Grime's "Death is Immortal" layers hau...
