***

Hypnotic Dirge and Throats Productions presents the release an intense nature-themed atmospheric Black Metal split record entitled "Origins" between two great atmospheric bands - Ah Ciliz and Chiral.

Ah Ciliz is an atmospheric Black Metal band founded by Elmer (Klär, Painful Depression) in 2008. The history of the project now includes four full-length albums, and a split with Griefthorn all released between 2011-2014. Three years later, Ah Ciliz returns with three excellent new songs for the "Origins" split focused on indigenous cultures, nature, and the cosmos. The songs from Ah Ciliz span between powerful, triumphant, beautiful, and spiritial throughout its duration which is aided by varied and interesting riffs, soaring leads, and an atmosphere that matches the lyrical themes perfectly.

Chiral is an Italian one-man band from the countryside near Piacenza, set up at the end of 2013. His compositions shine of a dim light dwelling through the branches, alternating solar as well as gloomy moments. Folkish instruments are used to guide the listener through contemplation, while gentle veils of synths are crafting a misty and mysterious aura. If the dreamy and hypnotic atmosphere of Lustre met with the breathless wonder of Falls of Rauros' melodies, and the wild raw guitar lines of Wolves in the Throne Room, that would be probably be what Chiral sounds like.

"Origins" will be presented as a 6 panel digipack limited to 500 copies and shared between labels and bands.
For fans of: Lustre, Agalloch, Mavradoxa, Windbruch, Falls of Rauros, Wolves in the Throne Room

Hypnotic Dirge et Throats Production présentent Origins, un ‘split album’ de black metal atmosphérique intense entre deux grands groupes du genre : Ah Ciliz et Chiral.

Ah Ciliz est un groupe de black metal atmosphérique fondé par Elmer (Klär, Painful Depression) en 2008. Le projet compte maintenant un catalogue de quatre albums et un split avec Griefthorn, tous parus entre 2011 et 2014. Trois ans plus tard, Ah Ciliz est de retour avec trois excellents nouveaux morceaux pour Origins, qui s’attardent aux cultures autochtones, à la nature et au cosmos. Dans leur entièreté, les pièces couvrent une palette diversifiée d’états d’esprits, allant de la puissance au triomphe, à la beauté et à la spiritualité, sur un fond d’airs captivants, de mélodies vertigineuses et d’ambiances qui collent aux textes.

Chiral est le projet d’un seul homme, établi dans la région de Piacenza, en Italie, depuis 2013. Les compositions se posent ici comme un éclairage tamisé nous parvenant à travers les branches, alternant entre les moments d’ombres et de clarté. Les instruments folkloriques accompagnent l’auditeur dans sa contemplation, tandis que des voiles de synthétiseurs tissent une aura brumeuse et mystérieuse. Si les atmosphères rêveuses et hypnotiques de Lustre rencontreraient les mélodies à couper le souffle de Falls of Rauros et les airs sauvages de guitares de Wolves in the Throne Room, elles nous donneraient sans doute Chiral.

Origins sera disponible en version digipack de 6 panneaux, limité à 500 copies et distribué entre les labels et les groupes.
Recommandé aux amateurs de Lustre, Agalloch, Mavradoxa, Windbruch, Falls of Rauros, Wolves in the Throne Room

"The song we’re bringing you today is as mysterious and haunting as the Kafka story that provided the inspiration for the band’s name. Its intensity ebbs and flows. Slow and somber at first, with a spectral guitar melody as the centerpiece of the intro, it becomes more urgent, in pa...

Webshop Update - August 2017

August 3, 2017
We have brought in a very limited assortment of vinyl from Vendetta Records in Germany. As of now, we only have 2 copies of each of these in stock, but if this goes well, we will continue stocking these and other vinyl releases from Vendetta.

Due to high international shipping costs for LP's and especially Double LP's, we recommend that you order directly from Vendetta Records if you live in Europe. Ordering from us makes more sense if you are from Canada or the US.

Pre-orders

"Gloom shrouds “Kuolonkuu” like the seeping of weeping northern skies dampens the grey eminence of mountain timbers. The chill sinks into the listener’s skin from the first moments, as deep abrading riffs begin their work over the stalking gait of a mid-paced beat.

The tormented, rasping howls through which the words are exclaimed manifest anguish and em...
