Demonologists w/ Vainoras
Last updated: 27 December 2025
Due for release in the coming weeks is the excellent collaboration DEMONOLOGISTS W/ VAINORAS
An unexpected merge of dark extremities - which forms together into a beautifully constructed piece of work.
DEMONOLOGISTS are renowned for their obscure horror electronics - dark and noisy but structured within rhythmical chaos.
VAINORAS is a talented multi-instrumentalist from Australia - mainly renowned for his metal creations, particularly the doom act SUBTERRANEAN DISPOSITION. Alongside that he has forged a solid body of work with his side projects heading in the dark jazz loungecore fields - punctuated noticeably with his use of saxophone.
Blended together they create a lavish collection of tracks that explore the lysergic properties of the botanical world.
Released on digi CD with beautiful artwork and layout. Look out for this soon.....
Goatpsalm - Beneath
Last updated: 27 December 2025
A moment that I feared might never arrive - so this gives me great joy to announce the imminent release of the new GOATPSALM album
Exactly a decade since the release of "Downstream" - a stalling period where the band has undergone a number of transformations and artistic blocks.
Yet the finsihed album - "Beneath" - is a real triumph. The band's finest moment to date.
Obscure, ritual and dark metal.
More news to follow - expect a release in February 2026.
Cave Dweller - Showing Teeth - digi CD
Last updated: 27 December 2025
Due for release in January is the latest CAVE DWELLER album
the 3rd album continues the Cave Dweller sound and story - but is a much more visceral and gritty listen.
a beautiful narrative that meanders with the flow of the music.
A must for anyone who has enjoyed the previous Cave Dweller works......
Lucifugum - Adanom 7"
Last updated: 27 December 2025
After many years of respect for their art - I am proud to finally have the opportunity to work on a vinyl release with LUCIFUGUM
The new "Adanom" EP (recently published on tape by the band) will now see a 7" vinyl edition.
Black metal authenticism.
Slava Ukraini !!
Glory to Lucifugum.
Sutratma - Adrift
Last updated: 27 December 2025
SUTRATMA have been dedicated to playing funeral doom for over 15 years - following a series of mainly self-released albums during that time.
The Californians are a hidden gem, continuing to hone their craft and identity - creating a beautiful and serene funerall doom album in 2025 with "Adrift"
I'm really pleased to be working as a partner, alongside the band, on the vinyl version of "Adrift" - which is currently at press.
Look out for the album release around March 2026.

summer 2025 turned out to be an unexpectedly challenging period in my life, which afforded me very little time or energy to devote to the label and music - my apologies if I have missed emails and dropped contacts..
Perhaps it's true - that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger ..... but all the same, it can still certainly fuck you up!
I'm back and working torward 2026, which is looking to be one of the best years in the history of the label, with some fantastic releases lined up..
One of which is the Esoteric vinyl box set edition, which I have spent many years planning and curating - a release that will be my proudest moment, as the pinnacle of over three decades of working, and friendship, with Greg and Esoteric.
These are the things that keep this label alive with an underground spirit - whatever bureaucracy and crazy shit is happening across the world!!

Last updated: 9 March 2025
It's be great working with Damien from TETRAMORPHE IMPURE - and to now be able to announce the release of his debut album - "The Sunset Of Being"
A seasoned musician within the Italian scene - Damien has brought that experience into his solo project TETRAMORPHE IMPURE
Whilst this may be a new name in the death doom scene to many, this project has been working away in the background for many years now putting the finishing touches to this debut - which will appeal to fans of early My Dying Bride, Evoken, Anathema etc....
Co-produced, mixed and mastered by Alex Sedin
Available on digi CD - with beautiful artwork from Petri Ala-Maunas - due for release in mid April.
Digital version available direct from the bandcamp page of TETRAMORPHE IMPURE

Last updated: 8 March 2025
I'm pleased to be working on the release of the new THE SLUMBERING album
Entitled "The Loss Of Humanity Complete" this is the fourth album from this project of Clint Listing.
Continuing in the vein of previous material it brings claustrophobic, draining, suffocating, doom noise.
Not for everyone - but those willing to check something different then give it a try.
Limited to 100 copies on CD - or the digital version direct from Clint at The Slumbering bandcamp
Due for release March 28th
update....
Last updated: 1 January 2025
The last days of 2024 drew to a close with the release of a couple of great and quite obscure albums - from VOIDWARDS + UNFOLD
It still gives me great satisfaction working with underground and unknown acts which are creating inspired, innovative, challenging and obscure music and art.
Check out more info on recent releases elsewhere.
Already have most of 2025 planned out with releases, some of which can be seen on the schedule a few posts below.
Amongst others, the next few months brings exciting sounds with TETRAMORPHE IMPURE (Ita) + LORDAMOR (Fin) - both of whom have created outstanding doom albums. After 30 years of running the label I'm still amazed how music has the power to bring something fresh, exciting and jaw-dropping - which still gives me a buzz like I got all those years ago!!
Look out for more info coming in the next weeks......
