Hypnotic Dirge Updates and News

BAND SIGNING / UPCOMING RELEASE: Inherus - Beholden

March 1, 2023
Crossing the realms of post-metal and heavy rock, Beholden is a 6 track, 60-minute album, that mixes black metal, psyche-rock-influenced solos and doomy riffs with male and female clean & harsh vocals. The record spans genres without living in any singular one and yields both a united heartbreaking and feral sound. Beholden will be released on May 26th, 2023.



"The overall theme is the power of relationships and connectivity. Life challenges us but ultimately we have to know our own strength. Like the Stag Priestess depicted on the cover of the album, there is an otherworldly part of each of us that tames the fire of the unpredictable and approaches the world in spite of it with kindness. She can walk the forest in the dark. The songs call upon that desire."

About INHERUS:
Based out of The Hudson Valley, New York, the band was formed in the summer of 2018 by Brian Harrigan and Anthony DiBlasi. Andrew Vogt joined the line-up shortly after and the foundations of what would become "Forgotten Kingdom" began to take shape. Beth Gladding became involved having moved to the area in the fall of that year, and upon hearing her contribution to the developing track, was auditioned and completed INHERUS' line-up. Drawing inspiration from a broad range of musical and creative influences the quartet enjoys creatively blending multiple elements together to forge new sounds. Between home studios and live and isolated tracking, the band is now advancing through several singles and a sophomore full-length album. INHERUS are also performing throughout New York City and the state as the band continues the never-ending task of crafting their own pulverizing live sound. 

INHERUS is:
Anthony DiBlasi (WITCHKISS) - Bass, Vocals
Beth Gladding (LOTUS THIEF, FORLESEN, BOTANIST, PALACE OF WORMS) - Vocals, Guitar, Synth, Mandolin
Brian Harrigan (GRID, SWALLOW THE OCEAN) - Vocals, Guitar, Synth
Andrew Vogt (LOTUS THIEF, SWALLOW THE OCEAN) - Drums

January 27, 2023
Hypnotic Dirge is proud to present its first release of 2023, the glorious yet gloomy return of New Zealand/Australia Orphans of Dusk. 



It has been ten years since the band’s inception in 2013, and nine since their last offering on Hypnotic Dirge Records. In 2014, Orphans of Dusk released “Revenant,” a brilliant 4-song EP that conjured the grandeur of goth and death-doom blackest of the black.  

Described as a talented successor to Type O Negative and Woods of Ypres, Orphans of Dusk demon...

Update on Shipping Prices

January 26, 2023
Yesterday we brought you some good news but unfortunately I'm writing today with some disappointing news. 

After years of operating in a legal grey area and shipping single CD orders outside of Canada as "lettermail" instead of a "parcel", CanadaPost is no longer allowing us to do so. By shipping single CD orders as a letter, we were able to bypass customs and also charge significantly less for orders of only 1 CD. 

We had to increase our shipping rates for single CD orders outside of Canada to...
