Label Releases

In anticipation of a full-length album that's scheduled for late 2021, Intaglio are ready to share a new single with listeners. The composition "Subject To Time" is presented in a simplified form in order to provide first impressions of the conceptual work that is the upcoming record. A number of various musicians took part in the recording of the album, performing the live drums as well as a variety of classical instruments. Classically trained professional vocalists also contributed to the recording, and some of this rich variety can be heard on "Subject To Time".

After many years of silence, Italian dark scene legends CULTUS SANGUINE are back, full of strength and inspiration, and with skills that have become perfectly honed. Their return presents dark metal at its purest, distilled into a deeper, darker, and doomier form.
Entitled "Dust Once Alive", the new album tells about the tragedy of the gray and mundane life, trudging along from day to day and approaching a sad ending. Signs, goals, and trail lights are no more than false illusions for these ultimately meaningless lives.
The recording was made at ADSR Studio by sound engineer Carlo Meroni, who’s known for working with many bands in the Italian extreme scene and is a master of his craft. The album’s mastering took place at the Moonhouse studio in Milan.
The release comes in a stylish four-page digipak with a booklet to complement the aesthetic pleasure of the dark art of CULTUS SANGUINE.

A fresh single by the Russian doom death metal band RESTLESS OBLIVION preceding the new album demonstrates loyalty to their style and high creative potential of the musicians, which has not bleached over the years since the debut album "Sands of Time", which once received high scores from fans and professional critics.

In honor of the 200th anniversary of the release of the classic work of the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) "Prometheus Unbound", atmospheric doom/death metal outfit SHALLOW RIVERS present to all of ye its new conceptual epic poem of the same name for the romantic drama, based on it. The band tried to convey, within the framework of their musical style, the atmosphere and grandeur of the ancient Greek era, the endless torment of the protagonist and his indestructible spirit, burning as a guiding star for everyone.

The first CD-single in the history of the band is preceding the forthcoming new album. Mournful Gust presents absolutely new composition with exclusive arrangements which is different from the album version. “Sleeping With My Name” performed in the best traditions of gothic doom metal continues the line of the previous album “The Frankness Eve” which got very positive response from listeners and critics. The musicians also paid tribute to the great vocalist Ronnie James Dio by a sensual cover-version of “Rainbow Eyes” song by Rainbow. The album features two additional remixes of the title composition.

The thing the fans of the funeral doom were constantly asking about and were waiting for has finally come true: the second album of the mysterious EA "II" is now released on vinyl for the first time! The album underwent special mastering and received an updated design worthy of this masterpiece, echoing the vinyl release of the band's debut album. The first press contains a limited number of unique colored LPs (royal blue with black splatter vinyl), which will not be reprinted in the future. Just like the colored LPs of the Ea Taesse vinyl reissue have been quickly sold out, becoming a rarity, this limited edition may suffer the same enviable fate. The LPs were printed in Europe, like the previous Ea Taesse vinyl release.

Edition of 100 copies on black vinyl

News single from Mournful Gust presents itself “Let The Music Cry” song from the album “For All The Sins” which is a track from the forthcoming live release “If We Were Alive” which is coming in autumn 2014. The track is one of ten songs of the album that was recorded in on-line format specially for fans of the band. The single includes four additional versions of the song – original and orchestra version (taken for the preceding album), live recording and mix from Bejalane (Israel). The single is also supplemented with cover “Honey For My Wounds” (from Mournful Gust album “The Frankness Eve”) by Die Entweihung (black metal, Israel) and noise mix “Sleeping With My Name” (from Mournful Gust album “For All The Sins”) by Art Electronix (Ukraine). The release is designated for devoted Mournful Gust fans and followers of the genre.

180g black vinyl

Fortress of sound equal to the brutal cosmic punch in the face of an ancient disgusting mythological giant awakened from the aeons of eternal sleep by earth-shaking, almost razor-sharp epic riffs. Expression at the very limit of suffering, anger, bitterness and euphoria, intertwined with embodiment of the darkest thoughts from the deepest corners of the soul and consciousness.
This is doom. This is metal from Croatia.
For us, it's really all about the return of the mysticism. It's all about bringing back darker, "larger than life" story into the music. It’s about bringing back the meaning and reconnecting with what matters most - expression, art and the story it tells.
Elusive God’s intention is to express our creative visions through slow, heavy and atmospheric music.
In a way, this is the return of metal. Why? Because the music that used to blow us away with energy, honesty, meaning and nonconformity is in the wake of extinction. It's dominated by a complete lack of creative vision and playing by established patterns with total disregard of the mystery and visual component. Yet, maybe the most unfortunate fact is a complete loss of the mystical and dark aura that used to embrace the whole genre with all of its performers.
Metal as we see it is over the top, mysterious, layered and it takes much more than superficial listening or consuming to delve deeper into the very message that music conveys. It also has a strong visual imagery that, along with the musical part, represents two sides of the same coin which cannot exist without each other.

The second album by the Irish band Superstatic founded by Rustam, the founding member of Rakoth and Umbral Presence, who also used to play bass in Cruachan. The name of the band is derived from the debut Rakoth album, "Superstatic Equilibrium", however this time Rustam (under the name of Alex) has turned to doom death metal. On "Glimmering Veil" the music leaned more towards funeral doom metal, became darker and more complex, incorporating elements of horror. At the same time lyrics are based on works by Harlan Ellison, Wilhelm Hauff, Stephen King and Arthur Machen, and videogames Morrowind and System Shock 2, which makes listening to "Glimmering Veil" even more interesting and unpredictable.
Guitar parts were performed by Sergei Lazar (Arkona, Rossomahaar), who has also mixed the album. The album was mastered by Tom Waltz, known from his work with Venom, Annihilator, Dopethrone and many other artists.
The album is released also as a limited edition four panel digipak featuring a twelve page booklet, in order to make your journey into the depths of "Glimmering Veil" even more unforgettable.

It’s been almost 15 years since death doom act Intaglio released their debut album, and now they are back with some ambitious new material. “The Memory of Death” is a demo single from the forthcoming new album currently in production.

Intaglio has always been a project that’s not afraid to push boundaries and set new standards in the genre. The extensive use of double bass and cello injects a unique character into the recording, and is just one of many things that helps make the band stand out from its peers in death doom metal. Even though it’s only a demo, “The Memory of Death” is a huge step up from the debut in terms of composition and production value.

The full length album is scheduled to be released in 2021.

Edition of 100 copies on grey opaque with black and white splatter vinyl

Released in a digipak with a 12-page booklet with lyrics.

The new album of S.C.A.L.P., a legendary band from Oryol, is a quite mature work that was released after a long break. “To the Heroes of the Past” doesn’t bow to today’s music sound trend of a similar genre. It’s a kind of live sound blending of heavy metal and melancholic rock.
The album includes 10 tracks arranged in one conceptual line, telling one story from the beginning to the end. The track "Third Spring” was composed with the participation of Evgeniy Ryzhenok, one of the founders of the band, who died tragically in 2004.

The new album by the Brazilian leaders of atmospheric doom death metal inherits from two previous works and rises the musicians' skill to another high level. The already balanced and optimized recipe consisting of monumental keyboards and organ parts with dark guitar riffs framed by shrill solos is superimposed on the crystal sound and gives birth to the magic of HellLight. A bright, unique material touching to the depths of the soul is addressed both to keen admirers of the genre and for all fans of heavy and dark sensual music.

The new work of the Belarusian group «Spiral-Shaped Hopewreck» is both an attempt to experiment and an opportunity to present their creative work to discerning listeners in a new way. Instrumental interludes connect the tracks into a single canvas, musically going beyond the band's traditional doom death metal and filled with sincere feelings and experiences. The mini-album includes two unexpected cover versions that successfully maintain the unity of the whole work.
Editited as a six-panel digipack.

The third album by the German band refines the finding of the previous full-length work, in the best way demonstrating the professionalism and ability of the musicians to combine a dense clean sound with a technically perfect performance. This is doom death metal of the highest standard, cruel and loud, but not devoid of a share of atmosphere, and, most important, individuality and unique mood. Music for thoughtful listening, for a new experience of inner feelings complemented by a beautifully designed 16-page booklet for better dissolution within the majestic depths of "Liquid Darkness".

After many years of silence Intaglio has released a new full-length album called “II”. The album can be described as a "doom opera" and will not only amaze old fans of the band, but should also interest new listeners with the contributions Intaglio has made to the development of the style.

A large form was used on "II", which is exceedingly rare in metal and rock music. Only live instruments were used in the recording, including classical ones such as cello and upright bass, and professional vocalists with voices varying from basso profundo to soprano have created a unique palette of sounds. The album is a conceptual work with compositions and lyrics united as a single large piece, and for the full experience should be listened to from beginning to end in order to completely immerse the listener into its atmosphere.

"II" was recorded and mixed at Slow Burn Studio (When Nothing Remains, Woe Unto Me), was mastered by Mika Jussila (Shape Of Despair, Isole, Unholy, Moonspell) at the legendary Finnvox studio in Finland, and includes stunning cover art crafted by the Polish artist Mariusz Lewandowski (Bell Witch, Atramentus) and designed to highlight and complement the album's unique music. Both massive and sophisticated Intaglio’s creation is a brand new and exciting take on the doom death genre.

This issue includes "Dead Hopes" EP and "The Last Chains" demo, harmoniously combined in one CD with a total duration of 45 minutes. The band from Italy currently represented by musician Damien (also the vocalist of the Italian black metal band Comando Praetorio) follows the traditions of doom death metal influenced by the British doom metal scene of the early 90s, with a strong inspiration by such bands as Evoken, Esoteric, Dead Can Dance and Lycia. Tetramorphe Impure is a six-panel-digipack shaped journey through the subconscious corridors of mind, where your spirit will become for a moment free from the earthly chains of flesh.

The soil that has been cultivated by Without God for the past seven years since the phenomenal “Circus Of Freaks” gave a perfect harvest. The first crop has already been delivered in the form of the EP "Siberian Tunes: The Green Light", and now the second part has arrived in all its strength: the full-length album "Siberian Tunes: Purple Clouds" performed in a hard, dark and aggressive way, without mercy and compassion to listeners, pushing one straight into hell at full speed. The limited edition coming as a noble 4-panel digipack addressed to the true fans best expresses the message by Without God.

The Sunset Forsaken project was established in Donetsk in 2014 by musician Andrey Tolok as an alternative to his black metal project Haissem, since the music he composed did not fit into the frames of a single project.
The second full-length album, "85 Nerves", is finally released on CD by Solitude Productions.
Lyrically, the album consists of four completely different narrative stories. "Dulcet Amnesia" tells the story of a man who has lost his memories and, at the same time, found an incomprehensible calm, for whom loneliness became an anesthesia that split him from the rest of the world. “Through The Moon I've Seen The Sorrow Born” brings into the story of a man who, looking at the Moon, sees his life, which is divided into two periods: “before” and “after”. "The Ebony Chasm Of Despair" tells how a person, while falling into a bottomless abyss, observes what happened to our civilization throughout its existence. The final title track "85 Nerves" sheds light on the story of a woman, who was trapped within her dreams ...
Musically, "85 Nerves" is a classic dark metal with a doom / death influence, with typical genre features, such as melodic solos throughout the composition, growl as the main vocal, and viscous riffing.
The album is released as a 6-panel limited edition digipack.

The fifth release by Australian band Ivan “Silver Screens” develops and affirms their unique personal style that goes far beyond the frames of funeral death doom metal. At the same time, when working on this album, the musicians gained diverse experience and achieved a new level of sound.
A combination of heavy riffs with a lively violin and atmospheric keyboards creates a harmonic unity. Melodies that touch the very soul, together with epic and airiness make the album indeed special and memorable.
The artwork was created by our good friend Ashley Williams who has expressed through acrylics the spirit of the album, representing the sound through the color palettes which were envisioned whilst writing and recording «Silver Screens».
The album comes as a limited six-panel digipack.

The Greek masters of atmospheric doom death metal are now back with a new, third full-length album aiming to surprise and conquer listeners once again. As usual, the musicians add new colors to their palette to demonstrate feelings opening up from a new angle. The shrouding with coldness Shattered Hope's novel work is a deep philosophical dialogue with eternity, expressed through deep texts hiding references to the classics, as well as through powerful crushing music performed with impeccable skill and sincerity.

Ypres is a St.Petersburg band named after the Belgian locale famous for being the place of first ever effective use of chemical weaponry in a war setting. Over the last 4 years the band has released a debut self-titled full-length, followed by the EP Genus Vitiosum, showcasing a firm affinity for the legacy post metal sound. On the latest release, the Umwelt single/EP, the band displayed a strong leaning toward a spacier, country- and Americana-tinged sonic landscape with some layered rhythmic concepts while engulfed in doom and sludge metal spirit.

From the very first tones the new work by the Italian band Silvered demonstrates high skills of the musicians and carefully crafted material. Original music at the intersection of melodic death metal and melodic doom is filled with powerful energy and real feelings. Two special guests, members the famous Novembre band, took part in the album recording: Carmelo Orlando on vocals and Fabio Fraschini on bass. A beautifully designed booklet was created by Danielle Serra, a professional illustrator and the winner of the Fantasy British Prize, whose works were parts of numerous exhibitions in the US and Europe.

The fourth full-length album of the Belgian quintet Marche Funèbre entitled "Einderlicht", which is translated as "light at the end", combines all traditional elements known from the previous works of the group: death, black and doom metal fused in a unique mixture with strong melodies and wide range vocals.
Thematically, "Einderlicht" focuses on the strange ability of humanity to consciously decide to commit suicide.
Accounting for their previous experience, which has borne good results, the musicians decided to again ask to perform recording Markus Stock, known for his cult bands and participation in the recording of Empyrium, Vision Bleak, Alcest, Secrets Of The Moon and many others. Brooke Schaden has created another magical cover art for this piece, like for all other Marche Funèbre's full-length albums. The album comes as a digipak with a twelve-page booklet, and includes an exclusive bonus track "Gone".

First official for the CIS countries reissue of the fourth full-length album "The Book of Kings" by Australian doomsters Mournful Congregation. A delightfully sad album, personifying the pain of humanity, intertwined with mysticism. Acoustic inserts melancholy sound into oblivion, throwing you beyond reason. Vocal envelops its captivating beauty. All 4 songs combine the cold of sad souls. 300 copies in a collectible 6-panel digipak, contain a sticker, a Pit-Art CD, and a 16-page booklet including the names of the fans involved in the fundraiser.
