Hypnotic Dirge Updates and News

UPCOMING RELEASE: The Haunting Green - Natural Extinctions

January 10, 2019
The Haunting Green are a doom metal duo based in Northeastern Italy that builds on a doom foundation with post-metal, drone, and percussive elements to create a unique and quintessential sound. Formed in 2012, their music is constantly going in the direction of a coexistence within the aggressive vibes of extreme metal with ambient-drone and dark electronic music.



Hypnotic Dirge Records is proud to announce our alliance with this group, which embody many of the eclectic elements that galvanize us! After a debut EP and collaborative split album, both released in 2014, The Haunting Green is ready to present their apex in the form of their debut full-length album  “Natural Extinctions”. 
Exploring the inability of human beings to preserve their innocence and bond with nature during their existence, and relating the inevitable destiny of every human being to inhibit, suppress and lose, along his life, some of the most pure and atavistic aspects of their own soul in order to adapt and live with the hostile environment that surrounds him, “Natural Extinctions” weaves these themes throughout to explore our lost innocence and repressed symbiosis with nature and each other. Adaptability on the one hand strengthens and leads to move forward, but, on the other hand, corrupts and makes us lose the most spiritual and pure side of us: the most precious.
“Natural Extinctions” will be released on Hypnotic Dirge Records on a 6 panel digipack on March 5, 2019.

MUSIC VIDEO : Norilsk - “Weepers of the Land”!

December 4, 2018
Funeral rites and its iconography have a long history of weepers, or weeping figures – sad, heavy characters mourning the deceased. “Weepers of the Land” is a nod to the expression 'keepers of the land,' most often used in an indigenous and/or environment-related context, while referencing a less glorious side of history. The title song and concept is about what stays behind after someone vanishes.

The song was co-written with Joshua Cayer (Longhouse – bass/vocals), who is also guest v...
