Webshop Update : December 2016

December 8, 2016

WEBSHOP ADDITIONS: 21 New Titles, including highlights from Gris, Neige et Noirceur, Sombres Forêts, Monarque, and Forteresse

Here is our last webshop update for 2016! Included are new additions from Japanese label Hidden Marly Productions focusing on Black Metal releases, and its side-label Maa Productions focusing more on Post-Rock and Shoegaze related releases. 

What I am most excited about however, is the large collection of titles from Québéc's Sepulchral Productions who have released some of the best "Metal Noir Québécois" in history. 

There are some truly breathtaking albums here, and getting some releases from Québéc's rich black metal history in stock has been a goal and plan of mine for a long time now! If you are unfamiliar with these bands, I highly recommend you to check them out! We'll be showcasing releases from Québéc throughout the month of December on Facebook if you follow us on there.

Stock for these releases are very limited, we have 4 copies of each for the most part, so if you would like to secure your copy, act quickly as they may not be around long, especially the Sepulchral Productions titles from Québéc which are expected to go quick.
