UPCOMING RELEASE: Moonworshipper - 13 Full Moon Nights of Doubt

November 19, 2021

No fucks given about anything, except being true to what it stands for, Moonworshipper is a dark underground project combining depressive pop and suicidal black metal into long hypnotizing pieces of music.

Formed during the summer of 2018, the band is on its way to release a trilogy of autobiographical albums, based on events in the frontman's life. A love letter written in 3 chapters, against all odds, depicting despair in its purest form.

Its second chapter "13 Full Moon Nights of Doubt" is due to be released on December 13, and delivers an experience that is at once haunting, menacing, genuine, and vulnerable.

Much like its debut, "13 Full Moon Nights of Doubt" will be released exclusively in digital format.

After the trilogy is completed, it will be published in its entirety in physical format.

Far away from any cliché, Moonworshipper is raw, uncompromising, and honest from the root. Both beautiful and horrible at the same time.

Utter fucking desperation, for fans of Shining, Silencer, and Lana Del Rey.

DISTRO UPDATE: Vendetta Records [vinyl]

June 20, 2021

We received a selection of vinyl from Vendetta Records about 6 weeks ago but dragged our feet a bit in making them available.

As we only have 2x of each record, it felt a bit cumbersome to add all of these to the official webshop, but I added them to our Discogs page last night.

This is no small update, as 26 titles new and old have been added. Have a look below for the list of titles and place your order on our Discogs if interested.

Some of the sleeves have slight corner bends from the shipp...
