Dear customers, partners – friends! 16 July 2005 Solitude Productions released it’s first CD and now we are celebrating five years birthday. Becoming the first Russian doom metal label, we firmly established the position of quality in the world of music. Solitude Productions became the object of imitation among other local labels.

We can be proud of the wonderful releases in different variations of doom metal, our sub-label BadMoodMan Music also released many great albums. We opened many new groups and re-released some classic albums! Now we believe that the greatest achievements of the label will be in future. Thank you all for your support and trust. DOOM – IS SOLITUDE PRODUCTIONS.
