INDESINENCE Album Delay

We’ve already posted this notification via our Twitter and Facebook pages respectively, but just to keep everyone up to date on the situation regarding the new INDESINENCE album “Vessels Of Light And Decay”.  Due to major manufacturing delays (considering materials were submitted three months ago, followed by a crucial proofing process) because of the slight severity of the packaging for what we consider one of the label’s proudest moments, we were forced to push the release date back at least a month to mid-Oct (Oct 16th if all goes accordingly).  It was initially supposed to come out officially…

BELL WITCH – Album/Tour Announcement, New MP3 Posted

Seattle extreme doom metal duo BELL WITCH, comprised of bassist/vocalist Dylan Desmond (also of Samothrace fame) and drummer/vocalist Adrian Guerra, have completed their soul crushing debut album “Longing” along with announcing a U.S. tour to coincide with the release of “Longing” respectively.

By creating massive, epic, and crushing soundscapes of doom, all this merely with just bass, drums, and a dual vocal pummel, “Longing” expands on the promise BELL WITCH laid down with their 2011 demo (link to Bandcamp), which was seen as one of the best doom metal demos of last year.   “Longing” (which features guest vocals…

YAKUZA – Complete Work On New Album

Chicago cult progressive avant-jazz metal band YAKUZA have completed work on their sixth full-length album “Beyul”.

Seen as one of the most underrated, distinct, and unique American metal bands of our time, YAKUZA have always been synonymous with music eclecticism; the band creating a volatile yet searing hybrid of pillaging progressive metal, jazz, and grindcore.  Through the extreme shape shifting musical transitions, one of the most defining characteristics of YAKUZA is of course the vocal delivery of renaissance metal artist/musician Bruce Lamont, and even moreso his incorporation of saxophone into the mix of the music.  A trait that…

MENACE RUINE – Complete Work On New Album

Montreal industrial blackened neo-folk duo MENACE RUINE have completed work on their new album “Alight In Ashes”.

Formed in 2006 by S. De La Moth and Genevieve, MENACE RUINE have defined their unique, hypnotizing, and enchanting sound through a searing yet seamless mix of martial ambient, industrial, neo-folk, and black metal.  Where the waves of harsh yet elegant sound and noise lays the ground-work to complement the mesmerizing and haunting vocals of Genevieve, for those who haven’t heard and/or are not familiar with the oeuvre of MENACE RUINE, one can say that their sound almost comes across a kinship…
