TEASER: DØDSFERD - “Restoration of Justice” video…coming soon

February 9, 2024
As the twelfth album from Greek underground black metal legions Dødsferd fast approaches, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of a video clip for the opening track “Restoration of Justice”, created by Mick Alexandrakis (Black Screen - Graphic Arts). 



“Restoration of Justice” deals with the ineptitude and corruption of the Greek state while dealing with catastrophic natural disasters, police brutality, and its backing of colonial geo-political projects. All of this will become apparent when the video premieres, shortly on Friday February 23, 2024!!

PRE-ORDERS: stroszek - about all the bad days in the world

October 27, 2023
Named after the Werner Herzog movie by the same name, last seen by Joy Division’s leader Ian Curtis before committing suicide, stroszek was formed by Frostmoon Eclipse guitarist Claudio Alcara in 2006.

Aiming to go in a country\folk direction after years in the extreme metal world, stroszek could be described as “richly melodic, hauntingly melancholic, and at times, a crushingly sad commentary on innermost thoughts and life experiences”, or ‘long drives along deserted highways with jus...

PRE-ORDERS: stroszek - sound graveyard bound [2023 Edition]

October 27, 2023
Before the release of 2023's "about all the bad days in the world", the last stroszek album was all the way back in 2012. Long sold out, sound graveyard bound was the band's third album - at that time a three piece headed by founder Claudio Alcara [Frostmoon Eclipse]. What better occasion to press a new edition of the long out of print "sound graveyard bound" then alongside the release of the new album. 

A confluence of sounds that harken back to Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, and Johnny Cash, s...

GENERAL UPDATE

October 26, 2023
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...

CD - Main Shop | EU Shop




LP - Main Shop | EU Shop

It wasn't long ago that Notturno introduced themselves to the world with their grief-striken debut album Obsessions, a worthy debut album from the Italian depressive black metal project headed by Vittorio Sabelli (Dawn of a Dark Age, Incantvm, A.M.E.N). Almost immediately after the release of Obsessions, Notturno began work on their follow-up ef...
