UPCOMING RELEASE: Foghazer - He Left The Temple

January 23, 2026

Hypnotic Dirge Records presents our collaboration with Foghazer for the release of their debut record
"He Left The Temple"

Foghazer is a project built on trip-hop rhythm, black-metal texture and lo-fi cinematic atmosphere, crafting a discordant and haunting atmosphere rooted in black metal aesthetic yet drawing from sounds far outside the genre's confines.

"The record began as an accident. Fragments of trip-hop, early-2000s vinyl scratching, and the Black Metal influences I grew up on colliding with the dark, operatic production of Temples of Boom and the haunted stillness of Portishead’s self-titled album. The result felt nostalgic but unfamiliar, like something remembered wrong."

The album captures what Foghazer calls low-visibility sound: slow beats, distorted memory and fog as both space and emotion.

UPCOMING RELEASE: novæ - Destroying Angels

December 18, 2025

With a fresh approach on cosmic black metal, novæ conveys the awe, anxiety, and desolation of empty space through the perspective of the Apollo 11 Mission.

Unfolding like a transmission from the cosmos, discordant guitars clash against ethereal droning synth and authentic samples taken from the Apollo 11 MOCR ACR Collection to craft an immersive atmosphere simultaneously unnerving and transcendent. Combining raw and dissonant black metal with cold distant ambience, "Destroying Angels" builds...

November 21, 2025

Originally unleashed on Halloween 2021—mere months after the band’s inception—"The Fall of Cintra" laid the foundation for what Hekseblad would become today. The roots of what you hear on Hekseblad's 2024 full-length "Kaer Morhen" are present, but this EP is a different beast.
