Hypnotic Dirge Updates and News

Hypnotic Dirge General Update

October 1, 2014
After a calm past few months, work is now being undertaken regarding plans for 2015 album releases! Asides from providing for a little more down time than usual, the last few months have also been used to reorganize the website as well as to refine our intentions and objectives for the months to come.

Finally, a thorough and detailed Manifesto has been completed giving an overview of our operations as well as information on a variety of subjects. 

For the sake of some consistency, webshop updates will now occur on the 1st day of every month from now on, instead of sporadically without schedule!
As well, Aural Eminence will begin again now after a break, and will occur twice a month. Between the 1st and 15th and between the 16th-30th/31st.

The new front page of the HDR website includes all monthly webshop updates, current Aural Eminence albums, past and upcoming HDR releases, and additional info so check it out below. 

There a lot of fine new additions to the webshop this October including new albums from The Morningside, Helevorn, Doom:VS, and When Bitter Spring Sleeps among others, as well as the debut album from Saskatchewan's newest death-doom band Altars of Grief.

Lo and behold, there is finally a new batch of CD's added to the webshop after a pretty sizable time has passed since the last update. A wide variety of albums from across the sonic spectrum to be sure, but this update seems to include a lot of doom, from atmospheric death-doom, to sludgy stoner metal, ambient drone-doom, black/doom metal and everything else as well!

ALBUM RELEASE: Epitimia - "(Un)reality" double-album 6 panel digipack

February 14, 2014

Epitimia's new double-album "(Un)reality" is a culmination of over a year's hard work for the Saint-Petersburg based band which has been working on an expansive and ambitious follow-up to their last album "Faces of Insanity" released in the summer of 2012. "(Un)reality" includes lots of new innovations and interesting ideas on both the musical and conceptual sides and could easily be considered their most accomplished effort to date. Tortured black metal screams alongside a progressive and ex...
