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"

Sutratma - Adrift

Last updated: 2 October 2025
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!!
