BAND SIGNING: Experimental Project “Omgeving” to release debut album “Wijde Wijdte” on Hypnotic Dirge
Tuesday October 16, 2018
“Omgeving” is an experimental musical project from the Netherlands where the listener is meant to interpret the sound as auditory landscapes, every texture part of a broader perception that has been created.
Omgeving is a solo project crafted by musician Franck Johanson (Distillator, Franck Johanson) Entitled “Wijde Wijdte”, the first Omgeving album is a gush of creativity that crosses the boundaries of black metal, space rock, ambient, and doom. It is an entirely instrumental work based on conjuring imagery through soundscapes, through tones and frequencies that transport you through inner and outer space. Beautiful cover artwork on “Wijde Wijdte” was created by the Polish artist Kuba Kujawa.
“Wijde Wijdte” will be released on digipack format through Hypnotic Dirge Records in December 2018.
Norilsk’s new mini-album “Weepers of the Land” is now officially released! The album is available in digipack format with a bonus track exclusive to the CD version of the album. You can also pick up a Trails of Doom pack which includes three CD's, a shirt, a patch, and a sticker.
The main bulk of the album is streaming in full on Bandcamp and available as a “Name-Your-Price” download.

Originally released through Hypnotic Dirge in the summer of 2013, Obsidian Tongue's stellar second opus “A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time” will finally be repressed again this winter. In what can only be considered a testament to the duo’s power and authenticity, the original pressing sold out within a year, and remained one of Hypnotic Dirge's most defining release.
“A Nest of Ravens in the Throat of Time” is an introspective journey through the collective unconscious of Man a...
We are now accepting pre-orders for the new Norilsk's mini-album, entitled “Weepers of the Land”, which will be released worldwide by Hypnotic Dirge Records on October 12, 2018.
Norilsk’s new opus should be viewed as a companion to last fall’s “Le passage des glaciers” as the material was written and recorded during the same time period, but with that being said there is a different feeling - seemingly of a more abrasive and desperate nature - conjured on this album’s material.
We have released a new trailer video of our history, intentions, and goals as we approach our second decade of activity.
Soon enough, we will also make other announcements related to our ten year anniversary!
On October 12, doom-death entity Norilsk is set to release a brand new offering; an omen that autumn will be tuned down to doom and the bitter cold. Weepers of the Land is the follow up mini-album to last year's full length Le passage des glaciers, presenting a more abrasive and visceral Norilsk weaving stories of heritage, loss, and displacement through dynamic and atmospheric blackened death-doom metal. Weepers of the Land will be Norilsk’s third installment on Hypnotic Dirge Records.
Coming off the heels of their latest full-length album “Le passage des glaciers”, this fall the Canadian Death-Doom act Norilsk returns with a collection of new material linked in concept with its previous full-length while also showcasing Norilsk’s more collaborative and multi-faceted nature. It retains the band's signature sound developed on its two full-length albums, and brings forward further openness to an array of doom-related influences.
Altars of Grief's debut album "This Shameful Burden", originally released independently in 2014 and sold out for quite some time is now officially re-released by Hypnotic Dirge.
