Funeral Chasm - join forces with AD
Last updated: 21 October 2020
I am happy to announce that I will be working with Danish funeral doom act - FUNERAL CHASM - on the release of their debut album
More details will follow over the coming weeks - however, I can't recommend this album enough - it is a stunning creation of doom. It has a truly magical feeling to the album - and I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work with the guys from FUNERAL CHASM.
Expect a cd release by March 2021
The release of Funeral Chasm's album will be part of four exceptional doom albums I am fortunate enough to be releasing in the next 5 months. Those albums - from HALLOWED BUTCHERY (US), MOURNING DAWN (FRA), SUFFER YOURSELF (SWE/UKR) + FUNERAL CHASM (DEN) - really are some of the most innovative, powerful and beautiful doom albums that I've heard in recent years. This really is an exciting period in the life of Aesthetic Death.
Intaglio - s/t LP - released Nov 15th
Last updated: 21 October 2020
I'm very pleased to be collaborating (in a small way) in the forthcoming vinyl issue of the 2005 debut from INTAGLIO - which has been completely re-worked and improved for this new vinyl edition. Release date - November 15th 2020
A reimagined version of the self-titled debut "Intaglio" album originally released in 2005. The new version contains parts and sounds that were not included in the original version of the album, which is now in their place as originally intended. Every second of all the original source tracks underwent restoration and processing using top-class digital and analog equipment. Moreover, for the new version of the album, all drum parts were live recorded, without the use of triggering and sampling technologies, which is very rare nowadays. The album was restored and remixed by Evgeny Semyonov (When Nothing Remains, Woe Unto Me, Sorrowful Land) at Slow Burn Studio, mastering was performed by Mika Jussila (Shape Of Despair, Isole, Unholy, Moonspell) at Finnvox Studios.
Ignis Gehenna - new album
Last updated: 21 October 2020
Aesthetic Death is one of the distributors of the excellent new IGNIS GEHENNA album - which is released on 1st Novemeber.
Buy direct from the "shop" on this site.
Ignis Gehenna returns with it's sophomore album 'Rites of Transvaluation'. A quaturnite Janus face peering back into the fires of the past, toward the darkness of the future- all the while earthed as a threshold of serpent fire light in flux between them. Weaving a style where barbarity, obscurity and melody meld amidst a further delving into unhinged atmosphere.
'Rites of Transvaluation' was predominantly written and recorded in the same sessions as the debut 'Baleful Scarlet Star'. Neither album has a concurrent concept though both are intrinsically interwoven through time, space and intent.
Digipak CD release with eminent artwork by Vhan Artworks and Sinister Emanations Art. Released under the auspices of the band's label Aeon of Fire Music and available in the United Kingdom through Aesthetic Death

Farer - Monad - digisleeve CD
Last updated: 7 October 2020
I’m very pleased to announce a collaboration with the excellent Dutch doom act FARER
This sees the renewal of long term contacts, as FARER feature members of ORTEGA – who worked previously with Aesthetic Death. Plus “Monad” is jointly released with our friends at TARTARUS Recs who are taking charge of the tape version.
More info below.
Hailing from the Netherlands, doom/noise trio FARER conspire with Tartarus Records and Aesthetic Death to release “Monad”, the band’s first album, on November 20th 2020.
FARER create an imposing discord of severe, caustic bass textures, harrowing vocals and winding drums. The band, featuring members of Ortega, was originally founded as MENHIR in 2013, but chose FARER as their new moniker mid 2019, after spending two and a half years of writing and recording their debut record "Monad". By taking time to further explore the possibilities of being a band with two bass players and the absence of a guitar, the album exhibits the bands evolution into a new entity. Resulting in carefully crafted, drawn-out, oppressive and compelling songs.
Traversing the absolute – "Monad" is a testament to suffering. Heavy grinding riffs and deep pulsating rhythms; a restless stirring. Amidst all these layers we hear the human voice as a primal wordless scream – the shock of being. We feel the dissonance of forces vying for existence and the harmony of lightless oblivion. Whispers of unfathomable truths emerge from the static.
FARER presents a tactile experience of the grim and brutal cycle of creation and destruction. There is desperation and anger, but above all a greater comprehension of the eternal patterns reverberating through flesh. The relentless driving layers of crushed sound offer no respite. In resonance is the movement of great mass. The vocals are brutally honest and raw. Complex and utterly bleak. A confrontation with the void.
Out of nothing, nothing becomes.
FARER is:
Frank de Boer - Bass/Vocals
Arjan van Dalen - Bass/Vocals
Sven Jurgens - Drums/Percussion
FOR FANS OF: The Body, Sumac, Amenra

Mourning Dawn - new album
Last updated: 29 August 2020
after years of turmoil.....years which might have destroyed other people.....those years have culminated in "Dead End Euphoria", the new album from French extreme doom act - MOURNING DAWN
One of the few bands which get darker and heavier as the years pass - using the negatives in life as a force to create and compose with such majesty and passion for the dismal.
The album is now at press and will be available by the end of 2020 - on digi CD and gatefold 2LP
More news to follow....
Violenta Domestica - Cephalaea cd
Last updated: 29 August 2020
I'm very pleased to be collaborating with the exciting and hugely creative artist - Dr Winter - on the release of his debut full length album, under the monicker VIOLENTA DOMESTICA
The music of VIOLENTA DOMESTICA is termed as "experimental electronic musick" - which is indeed an appropriate defintion. The music is often poignant, often disturbing, often twisted....but always creative and thought provoking.
My admiration for this work is probably born from a passion in years past for the music from acts such as GGFH, Velvet Acid Christ, HH9 etc.... Merging and moving between ambience, driving ebm industrial rhythms, towards piling noise and sinister intention.
Focusing on the darker and twisted side of human nature - there is something for all in "Cephalaea". Expand those horizons - check this out.

Starless Domain - ALMA
Last updated: 1 July 2020
Following from a recent visitation to EOS – the astral journey continues as Starless Domain expose their blackened chaos through the prism of ALMA.
ALMA is an infinite and holistic vision.
Starless Domain create a wondrous cosmic chaos. Through ALMA they venture further into the farthest reaches of space and gaze upon the boundaries of our known visible universe – brought to mere mortal beings through the conduit of Starless Domain’s deep field black metal.
Most potently, ALMA has a schizophrenic twist, as it conversely represents an introverted look into the deepest (darkest) recesses of the human soul. It is a cathartic reflection, a metaphysical journey of personal exploration.
Reaching parts of the soul that are as equally difficult to traverse and understand as the deepest regions of space that can be sighted from the Atacama.
Released on beautiful 6 panel digipack in August 2020
Megalith Levitation / Dekonstruktor - Split
Last updated: 1 July 2020
It was a hazy smoke filled room where, upon one evening, a sonic soothsayer and doomed notary (Mitya) had uncontrollable visions about a foreboding convergence, a desire for an intertwined chaos, which in that moment seemed pre-destined to be so, as in some epic doomed revelation.
And so it was, on that murky evening, that these loyal servitors of the cult – MEGALITH LEVITATION + DEKONSTRUKTOR – would create a pact, an oath to acerbic doom, which would one day become an audial manifestation of this vision.
In the days thereafter, this phantasmagoric collaboration began to take shape in the form of four occult insurgencies of acid-fuelled ritual doom noise transcendence.
Both of these Russian spectres have created an intangible cohesion, which comes together as a seamless congealed whole of droning, hypnotic and lysergic doom.
These drug fuelled doom dissidents keep to the spirit of art for the sake of self, true visionaries of the obscure and the underground
These tales of occult doom are available, even to non-servitors, from August 2020 in splendid digipack

Nagaarum - Covid Diaries - new CD
Last updated: 15 June 2020
Without having any releases planned for the remainder of 2020 - NAGAARUM had entered a self-imposed period of reflection and channeling creativity into different areas. Although constantly planning and scheming for what the future held for NAGAARUM
This was abruptly ended when an enforced pandemic lockdown caused Nagaarum to, quite naturally, go into creative overload - having a whole area of material and human activity to use as material. The resulting creative overload has formed into a great new NAGAARUM album entitled "Covid Diaries" - which follows on somewhat from "Rabies Lyssa" - and is one of the finest NAGAARUM albums to date.
Six tracks of obscure, doomed sounds - an eclectic mix of ambient soundscapes, noisy segues and isolated doom. Released 31st July 2020
Hallowed Butchery - agree a collaboration with AD
Last updated: 14 June 2020
I am absolutely delighted to be collaborating with the inspired and talented US act - HALLOWED BUTCHERY
Having created obscure underground music for more than a decade - with numerous releases - Hallowed Butchery are no strangers to putting together some great music.
However, the latest recording - "Deathsongs From The Hymnal of the Church of the Final Pilgrimage" - sets a new standard of excellence, an even higher pinnacle of extreme doom obscurity.
Aesthetic Death has the honour of putting out a digi CD version in the early autumn. The recent cassette tape version is already sold out.
More news soon......

Cave Dweller - debut cd out summer 2020
Last updated: 22 April 2020
Cave Dweller is a solo project from one half of the amazing pando.
the debut album might be seen as delving into folk music territories - but it is far more nuanced than that. The general tone is darkly expressive. It is the raw emotion of an artist for all to bare witness. It is an album that explores the dualities in one's life - it touches on themes of loneliness and a symbiosis with mental illness. It is an album that delves introspectively into what makes us the people we think we are, the tribulations of existence and the constant struggle for purpose and inner justification...
Cave Dweller is inspired by the similar duality found in nature. it's brutality, yet frailty. the expansive isolation, yet beauty.

V:XII - an allegiance with Aesthetic Death
Last updated: 17 November 2019
I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to put out the debut CD from V:XII.
A punishing behemoth of black industrial darkness - "Rom, Rune and Ruin: The Odium Disciplina" will be released in the early days of 2020
V:XII was created in 2018 from the ashes of the Black Industrial project Deadwood. The tracks that originally were considered for a new Deadwood album took on a form of itself and could not be anything else but its own entity. And therefore V:XII was conceived. A new beginning to explore the darkness in man, beast and culture. Taking inspiration from whatever comes his way the sole member Daniel Jansson has been active in the underground metal and industrial scene since before 2003 releasing albums with band/projects such as Deadwood, Culted, Blodulv, Aum Arrhythmia and Keplers Odd.
Recorded during 2018-2019, the debut album Rom, Rune and Ruin-The Odium Disciplina combines segments reaching from Black Industrial, Doom, Black metal and Drone to Dark Ambient and Power Electronics. Pushing the boundaries of conventional ways of expression and experimenting with sounds of hatred and despair.
Reido - a sublime realisation....
Last updated: 6 November 2019
I'm very pleased to announce that the new album "Anatman" has been released.
This is one of those albums that has struck me from the first time I heard it - it is sublime, reflective, meditative, yet extreme, doom. It may not push boundaries - but at an emotional level it does everything I want from extreme doom.
I can comfortably say that it is one of the best doom albums for me - check it out yourself and see if you agree.

Tome of the Unreplenished / Starless Domain - split CD
Last updated: 6 November 2019
This week witnesses the release of the "Epistolary of the Fall" split CD. It has been a troubled, difficult and dark period to get this released - but what could be more fitting for a chaotic musical split.
Tome of the Unreplenished have created a dark black industrial ambient track of the highest order. An improvised and instrumentally eclectic feel. This is the perfect submersion into darkness before Starless Domain take you on a further journey into deep field black metal chaos - CERES sees Starless Domain take this cosmic journey into new facets of extremity and cold nothingness, with the help of Mories.
