Hypnotic Dirge Updates and News

PRE-ORDERS: NONE - Life has gone on long enough… [Vinyl release]

May 29, 2020
We are launching pre-orders for the release of NONE’s second album “Life has gone on long enough” on vinyl today, once again collaborating with Viridian Flame to bring you NONE’s second chapter on wax for the first time!



Much like the first record, this one will also be released in an edition of 300 copies, split evenly between Hypnotic Dirge - for North American buyers, and Viridian Flame - for European buyers. Those living outside of those regions can order from whoever they want. The record will be available in three editions, “verdant grave”, “dead and gray”, and classic black. This time around, instead of a booklet, the record will come with a panoramic 90cm x 30cm fold out double-sided poster of never-before released photography from the album photoshoot.

We are also printing a limited run of the "A Coffin for a Bed" long-sleeve shirts which was originally printed in 2018 alongside the CD/Digital release of "Life has gone on long enough" but went out of stock before the end of the year.

Release Date is July 3, 2020
Pre-orders will ship within a 1-2 week period in late June / early July

ALBUM RELEASE: Feral Light - Life Vapor

May 22, 2020
2020 marks the first release of Feral Light under the Hypnotic Dirge Records roster. The name is not new to the scene, being led by guitarist Andy Schoengrund (ex. Empires, ex. Wolvhammer), who formed Feral Light in 2015 with drummer Andrew Reesen, and shortly thereafter released a demo, an EP, and two full-lengths - 2017’s Void/Sanctity and 2019’s excellent Fear Rides a Shadow.

Firmly anchored in Blackened Post-Metal, Life Vapor - their third album -, not only builds up on the foundations...

ALBUM RELEASE: Forlesen - Hierophant Violent

April 18, 2020
Today we release the debut album from Forlesen, entitled "Hierophant Violent", a sombre and reflective procession apt for our apocalyptic reality.

Since the launch of the abridged version of the advance track "Nightbridge", we have been in eager anticipation of this date, where we finally get to share the entire piece, in full, as intended.
This is an album that should be experienced late at night with quality headphones and an attentive mind so that is the reason for the midnight launch. If yo...

SONG PREMIERE: Feral Light - Walking Tomb

April 18, 2020
We are pleased to unveil another offering from the upcoming Feral Light album "Life Vapor". Toilet ov Hell is premiering the track "Walking Tomb"

"Kicking off with a lumbering and extensively layered first few minutes, the twang-tinged tremolos culminate in the mid-section where the previous 3 minutes of tension cohere into a more focussed and upbeat attack. The production has an organic feel which is perfectly suited to this type of forward-thinking black metal, echoing the dismal yet addicti...
