PRE-ORDERS: Ov Shadows - I Djävulens Avbild

July 18, 2020
We are launching pre-orders for Ov Shadows' second full-length album "I Djävulens Avbild" today!

This time around, we opted for less items in the bundles but improved the quality of the main items included. The CD is presented as a 4 panel digipack with an 8 page booklet, complete with 4/4 print (no unprinted sections between the panels) and 18pt cardboard stock rather than the standard 15pt, so the digipack itself should be sturdier and thicker. The official shirt for "I Djävulens Avbild" has a 4 colour print on both the front and back and was designed by Mister snöpuls who also designed the CD artwork. Shirts are printed on Gildan Heavy Cotton by Cursed Earth Apparel and are available in sizes S- XXL. 

Additionally, an embroidered 5" x 2.5" Ov Shadows logo patch and a 4.25" x 2.75" all-weather sticker is included in the bundle. There is also an option to order Ov Shadows' 2018 album "The Darkness Between Stars" in one of the bundles for an additional $C10 (no extra shipping costs)

Great care and attention has gone into getting production rolling for these items so that we can mail these out to you immediately upon release date. In fact, most of the merch for Wills Dissolve and Marche Funèbre are also in production already! We will publish photos of the individual items as they arrive!

For those who prefer digital, or would at least like to hear the full album before considering ordering physical merch, the digital version of the album is available on the HDR Bandcamp page for a token pre-order price. It will of course be available as a name-your-price download upon the release date. Other streaming options such as Youtube, Spotify, iTunes, etc will be available once the album is released as well. 

"I Djävulens Avbild" will be released on Friday August 14.

"The title of the song is “Under Dödens Vingar” (Under the Wings of Death).

DIGITAL RELEASE: Moonworshipper - 13 Fullmoon Nights of Loneliness

June 15, 2020
Truly avantgarde and genre-bending releases are still a somewhat rare phenomenon, especially those few who are able to retain a strong narrative and cohesion despite the confluence of various sounds and influences.

We believe that the French act "Moonworshipper" is one such act, blending together lo-fi suicidal black metal, with trip-hop, soundtrack music, doom, depressive pop, and jazz. The debut EP of Moonworshippers, entitled "13 Fullmoon Nights of Loneliness" is the start of a planned conc...
