Hypnotic Dirge Tote Bags Available!

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Saturday, March 23, 2024, In : Hypnotic Dirge Records 
We have a small run of Hypnotic Dirge totebags available to order now! 
Featuring the artwork of Moonroot art, these are high-quality totes in a reasonable size (39cm x 35cm). 


EU Store | North America Store

Honestly no idea if there's any interest in this sort of thing so we just did a short run of 50 - and some will be given away to bands and friends, so quantity is pretty limited, but if there seems to be sufficient demand, we'll print more!

These will start shipping on Monday to everywhere ex...

GENERAL UPDATE

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Thursday, October 26, 2023, In : Hypnotic Dirge Records 
Over the past couple of weeks, we've received a lot of demos from people inquiring about joining the label and replacing some of the bands that we've recently dropped. Rest assured that we will find the time to listen to every demo in November and try to respond back to as many of them as possible!

Despite talk of restructuring a lot of things when first relocating to Portugal a few months ago, there are still a lot of things to do on the backend and we've learned a lot of lessons this year ab...

To begin with, stock on the EU store will be limited and only Hypnotic Dirge CD releases will be available. This is because shipping a lot of stock from Canada to Portugal was and is prohi...

Update on Shipping Prices

Posted by Nick Skog on Thursday, January 26, 2023, In : Hypnotic Dirge Records 
Yesterday we brought you some good news but unfortunately I'm writing today with some disappointing news. 

After years of operating in a legal grey area and shipping single CD orders outside of Canada as "lettermail" instead of a "parcel", CanadaPost is no longer allowing us to do so. By shipping single CD orders as a letter, we were able to bypass customs and also charge significantly less for orders of only 1 CD. 

We had to increase our shipping rates for single CD orders outside of Canada to...

This Friday, April 2, Hypnotic Dirge Records will be partnering with Raven Trust to raise legal defence funds for indigenous peoples of Canada!



As some of you must know, the history of Indigenous Peoples in Canada since the arrival of European settlers has been one of forced relocations, structural and behavioural violence, kidnappings, and cultural genocide. Although the violence against Indigenous Peoples across Canada is not as "overt" as it has been in the past, the legacy of settler-colon...

It won't be immediate, but orders will begin to ship out over the course of the next 1-2 weeks. This process might take a bit longer than initially expected as many of the boxes are still in Canada Post's warehouses and there is quite a backlog of orders.

Quite behind on emails and messages as well so please wait up to 1-2 weeks for a response. I will try my best to get caught up as soon as possible!

Hypnotic Dirge Records turns 10 years old today!

Posted by Nick Skog on Sunday, October 21, 2018, In : Hypnotic Dirge Records 
In a small, chaotic and unorganized shared apartment ten years ago, I decided to embark on a journey to launch a record label to release music from my project Ancient Tundra and perhaps some other related projects. Never did I imagine that HDR would still be active ten years later nor that we would have the opportunity to release music from the caliber of artists we've worked with over the years!



To mark this occasion, we had plans to print some new Hypnotic Dirge merch, but unfortunately we'r...

Hello everyone, it's been a while (besides the webshop posts)

We've been quietly working in the background and now have three new releases planned between December 2015 - February 2016, all of which will be doom releases co-released between Hypnotic Dirge and Solitude Productions! We will announce these releases in October!

Hypnotic Dirge Records Embraces Non-Profit Model…For Better or Worse
Published: July 2, 2015
Interview by: David E. Gehlke.

The words “non-profit” almost always raise eyebrows, for somehow, the money always has to go back into at least someone’s pockets. It’s a rare happening in the music industry; labels are largely profit-driven, and rightfully so – they need to make money to fund their bands and, operation. But what about a record company that is non-profit? How does ...
