PRE-ORDERS: stroszek - about all the bad days in the world

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Friday, October 27, 2023, In : stroszek 
Named after the Werner Herzog movie by the same name, last seen by Joy Division’s leader Ian Curtis before committing suicide, stroszek was formed by Frostmoon Eclipse guitarist Claudio Alcara in 2006.

Aiming to go in a country\folk direction after years in the extreme metal world, stroszek could be described as “richly melodic, hauntingly melancholic, and at times, a crushingly sad commentary on innermost thoughts and life experiences”, or ‘long drives along deserted highways with jus...

PRE-ORDERS: stroszek - sound graveyard bound [2023 Edition]

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Friday, October 27, 2023, In : stroszek 
Before the release of 2023's "about all the bad days in the world", the last stroszek album was all the way back in 2012. Long sold out, sound graveyard bound was the band's third album - at that time a three piece headed by founder Claudio Alcara [Frostmoon Eclipse]. What better occasion to press a new edition of the long out of print "sound graveyard bound" then alongside the release of the new album. 

A confluence of sounds that harken back to Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, and Johnny Cash, s...

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Friday, September 29, 2023, In : stroszek 
After a lengthy period of silence, stroszek returns this winter with their new album about all the bad days in the world. Formed in 2007 by Claudio Alcara, the guitarist and founder of Frostmoon Eclipse, one of Italy’s original, and longest serving black metal bands, stroszek is a project bringing forth various elements of dark neo-folk, goth rock, and western music blending together seemingly irreconcilable sounds to craft something that is all about feeling and introspection. Contemplatio...

Posted by Nick Skog on Friday, June 5, 2020, In : Marche Funèbre 
The Belgian quintet Marche Funèbre will be releasing their fourth full-length album “Einderlicht” (which translates as the light at/of the end) this fall. The new album brings all the elements known from Marche Funèbre: death, black, and doom metal in a unique mix, with strong melodies and a wide vocal approach.



Thematically, “Einderlicht” focuses on the strange ability of mankind to deliberately decide to end one’s life.

Never change a winning team as they say, so the new album was...

Hypnotic Dirge Records turns 10 years old today!

Posted by Nick Skog on Sunday, October 21, 2018, In : Hypnotic Dirge Records 
In a small, chaotic and unorganized shared apartment ten years ago, I decided to embark on a journey to launch a record label to release music from my project Ancient Tundra and perhaps some other related projects. Never did I imagine that HDR would still be active ten years later nor that we would have the opportunity to release music from the caliber of artists we've worked with over the years!



To mark this occasion, we had plans to print some new Hypnotic Dirge merch, but unfortunately we'r...
