PRE-ORDER: Vin de Mia Trix - Palimpsests

May 12, 2016

We're now taking pre-orders for Vin de Mia Trix's upcoming double-album "Palimpsests", officially released on May 31.

Pre-order 2CD Digipack
Pre-order Digital

The new work brings together nearly 100 minutes of extreme progressive funeral doom presented as four lengthy tracks that each tell a story of a certain archetype - common stories that are in our collective consciousness. Stories so significant and influential that they appear in various people' and cultures' mythology.

"Palimpsests" was mastered by Damon Good of Mournful Congregation and the album is presented in a 4 panel digipack with a beautiful 36 page transparent booklet designed by the Kyiv-based Seri.graf Studio - a detail which was fundamental to the way the album is meant to be presented.

We share this release with Cimmerian Shade Recordings so thanks to them for co-releasing the album with us and to guys in Vin de Mia Trix for wanting to work with us again a second time!'

ALBUM PREMIERE: NONE - selftitled

April 8, 2017

NONE's selftitled debut is premiering now on Metal Trenches!

"It's always somewhat amusing to me to judge a depressive BM album in terms of words such as "like" and "enjoyability." These probably aren't the best descriptors, so consider them in this case to be measurements of emotional immersion. Within this context, None has plenty to take in. For those out there who like to just lay back and soak in the misery, None will certainly deliver. The morose, atmospheric guitars and despairing, ...

March 25, 2017

Today, together with Sunmask Records we are releasing the long-awaited split album between Black Tremor and Sea Witch. This release was initially planned for last fall through Sunmask. A couple months ago, they approached me and asked if HDR would want to be involved and indeed it was a pleasure to take part in this release!! Black Tremor and Sea Witch have both been bands in the radar for potential releases for a while, so agreeing to co-release this split was an easy decision to make!

We are now taking pre-orders for NONE’s upcoming self-titled debut album due for release on April 11.
