UPCOMING RELEASE/BAND SIGNING: LISTLESS -SELFTITLED

January 29, 2025

Listless is a solo Depressive Black Metal project from Victoria BC, Canada. Crafted in solitude from the ashes of melancholic rumination, Listless channels despair through emotionally resonant guitars, desperate howls, and sorrowful keys. The resulting tracks are reminiscent of acts such as Austere, Woods of Desolation, Coldworld, Lifelover, and Psychonaut 4.

The project comes from Aidan Crossley, the guitarist and vocalist of Liminal Shroud (formerly on Hypnotic Dirge). The debut, self-titled full length album will be available April 25.

Cast into the abyss

These vestiges of suffering

Drowning in a vast expanse

Of bloodstained memories

ALBUM COVER: Norilsk unveils artwork for new album Antipole

December 6, 2024

In anticipation of the new NORILSK studio album, Antipole, we are unveiling the stunning cover art piece, created by Adam Burke / Nightjar Illustration (Loss, Bell Witch, Hooded Menace).

Antipole brings forth the theme of dualism, whether in the form of light and shadow, reality and fiction, or gravity and ethereality. Reflecting on the title track, the artwork depicts a portal connecting different dimensions, and the pole star evokes this alignment between the heavens and earth, or, as the ar...

NONE announces end to project

July 9, 2024

Everything that begins reaches its inevitable end. After four full-length albums over the past 7 years, NONE have decided to put the project to rest. A big thank you to everyone who felt a connection to NONE's vision and supported its endevours.

A message from the band:

"We are announcing the closure of the NONE project. The reasoning is mutual but personal. We can, however, say that the fourth album "Inevitable" was always designed to be our terminal chapter, and this was an inspiring force be...
