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.

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...

For something a little bit different today, we have partnered with Invisible Oranges to premiere the opening three tracks (as one stylistic whole) from the forthcoming "a noend of mine" record "Sanctuaires".



"Carrying echoes of the early-1990s English experimental rock scene, the delicate but electronics-heavy pulsations found on upcoming album Sanctuaires redefines this project. Reflecting memories of the specific albums which defined the use of then-new genre tag "post-rock," Sanctuaires' so...
