"Ingrats" (2017)
The third full-length album“Ingrats” (french for “ungrateful ones”) is filled with raw and honest music that speaks to a common despair, internal psychosis, and the monotony of modern life. The Black Metal feels urgent and sharp as ice, while the heavily distorted guitar tone is absolutely perfect as a contrast juxtaposed against the ominous darkwave melodies. 

"Sørbyen" (2012)
With influences ranging from the moodiest jazz music to black metal and trip-hop, netra has always been about challenging the listener's open-mindedness and  'Sørbyen' shows netra continuing to evolve its experimental sound using a palette of varying musical and artistic influences to create an album that is claustrophobic, gritty, psychedelic, and unmistakably depressing. 

Mélancolie urbaine (2010)
The street lights are colder than usual, how come I am so moved ? I feel the urge to escape, to make everything vanish for a while. Weaving together extreme metal, trip-hop, rock and blues, this album is an incredibly atmospheric journey to your innermost thoughts and nightmares and transcends the typical depressive black metal soundscapes. Drown in a world of depressing urban landscapes.

However, ...In Stille builds on the foundation ...

December 13, 2019
Hypnotic Dirge is pleased to launch pre-orders for our first release of 2020. As we enter a new decade, no album release could better encapsulate the disconnection, disassociation, and perpetual anxiety that defines the modern world. “London Orbital” is the soundtrack of urban decay, monolithic megacities, and the mass surveillance that seems to be a foregone conclusion despite the public’s unease.
