Hypnotic Dirge Updates and News

PRE-ORDERS : Frigoris - ...in Stille

January 6, 2020
Hypnotic Dirge is pleased to launch pre-orders for Frigoris’ fourth album, entitled “...in Stille” (in Silence), the conclusion to the concept that began on 2016’s “Nur ein Moment” album!



The two opuses share a number of stylistic similarities; both are driven by soaring, melodic leads and roaring, tormented vocals over a backdrop of heavily saturated, melancholic chord riffing and mid-paced, thundering double bass and blast beats. However, ...In Stille builds on the foundation laid by Nur Ein Moment… beautifully –  with aggression, emotion, and a sense of urgency that leaves the listener enraptured in a state of existential triumph. To say the songwriting is ‘formulaic’ may sound like a criticism, but in fact Frigoris has mastered their unique formula – alternating between reverberating cleans and pulsing distortion –  to move their listeners through the crushing journey of the album’s protagonist as he faces his own mortality in ‘just one minute in silence’…

In addition to the “...in Stille” CD - presented as a digipack with an accompanying 8 page booklet, an official ...in Stille shirt is also available, featuring the album artwork created by Sarah Winter, as is a sticker with a variation of the album art, and a magnet of the Frigoris logo. Of course, it is only fitting to include “Nur ein Moment…” in one of the bundles as well, so you can totally immerse yourself in the concept and experience the beginning as well the conclusion. There is no additional shipping charge to include “Nur ein Moment…” in your order!

The digital version of the album is available on the HDR Bandcamp page for a token pre-order price. It will of course be available as a name-your-price download upon the release date. Other streaming options such as Youtube, Spotify, iTunes, etc will be available once the album is released as well. 

“...in Stille” will be released on January 24, 2020.

PRE-ORDERS: Kassad - London Orbital

December 13, 2019
Hypnotic Dirge is pleased to launch pre-orders for our first release of 2020. As we enter a new decade, no album release could better encapsulate the disconnection, disassociation, and perpetual anxiety that defines the modern world. “London Orbital” is the soundtrack of urban decay, monolithic megacities, and the mass surveillance that seems to be a foregone conclusion despite the public’s unease.



In addition to the “London Orbital” CD - presented in an eco-pack with an accompanying...

Altars of Grief announces indefinite hiatus

November 15, 2019


Dear friends,

Unfortunately, after six years as a band, we’re announcing that we have decided to put Altars of Grief on hiatus for an indefinite period of time.
