Voidwards - to release debut album with Aesthetic Death
Last updated: 29 October 2024
Really pleased to announce the upcoming release with underground doom act - VOIDWARDS
"Bagulnik" is an album blending extreme doom with a droning funeral sound. Not an album that will appeal to many - even within the doom metal scene - but for anyone interested in the qualities of acts such as Swiss legends Mordor, then look out for this.
Due for release later this year - look out for more info soon.

Rot Coven - Nightmares Devour The Waking World - digi 2CD
Last updated: 2 July 2024
Really excited to announce the release of the debut album from US act - Rot Coven
Rot Coven dwell amidst the darkest corners of the underground - roughly described as noise-drenched, industrial death metal sludge.
Personally, it's everything I'm seeking out in the music I want to listen to currently - seamlessly incorporating elements of noise, ambient, death metal, and a doomed aesthetic - noisy chaos with a metal pulse - it's dark, evocative, psyched out, lysergic, f*cked up.....and it's pure bliss!!
"Antimatter Halo" is the first preview track - from Phase I of the album, which builds colossal sludge riffs out of ominous death industrial soundscapes, erupting into a supernova of psychedelic leads.
Due for release on August 15th - be sure to check this out and share around....
