Hypnotic Dirge Records has reached a deal with the project 'Ekove Efrits' based out of Tehran, Iran. Ekove Erfits is a one man project which has a history dating back to 2001, releasing demos and a split release before their first full-length album was released in 2008 by Possesion Productions, and a second full-length album was self-released in 2010. Over the years, Ekove Efrits have defined their sound to something that is incredibly haunting, atmospheric, and experimental which is a perfect fit for what we seek to release on Hypnotic Dirge Records, At the same time, Ekove Efrits has become, in our opinion, the pinnacle of Iranian black metal. We are pleased to have Ekove Efrits bring a Middle Eastern presence to Hypnotic Dirge Records for the first time, and to release the new full-length album entitled 'Conceptual Horizon' in the summer of 2011!
