Hypnotic Dirge Updates and News

Webshop Update - January 2015

Webshop Update - January 2015

Virtually everything in this January 2015 update comes from the impressive and prolific Zero Dimensional Records from Japan, as well as its affliliated labels Maa Productions and Hidden Marly Productions. There are 26 new albums available in the webshop in this update, and many of which are rare Japanese black metal bands that have flourished under the radar.

One of the side labels Maa Productions tends to focus more on the depressive black metal and post-rock sound, and just recently released Epitimia's latest experimental album "Memories, Devoured by Noise and Echoes" which is a collection of re-worked and re-recorded tracks from past Epitimia albums. Other albums of note are the Beyond Light, ColdWorld, As Light Dies, культура курения, White Ward, Juno Bloodlust, Gnome, Moloch, and Devlsy albums but I myself am still in the process of listening to everything here and there are still albums I have yet to hear properly.

A limited amount of Vin de Mia Trix shirts remaining from their 2014 shows is also available to order. There are four larges and two x-larges and this is all that remains in stock.

Webshop Update -  November 2014

A rather small update this time around, but a few things worthy of your time.

Perhaps the most exciting items in the update though are the Convivial Hermit Magazines, from Issue 4 back in 2008 through to Issue 7 which was released last month. A f...
