NEWS UPDATE

HARASSOR - new full-length "Night On My Side: The Bruno Sessions" LP and Cassette editions are in production. This batch of songs was produced and recorded fall 2010 by Bobb Bruno (BEST COAST) in his downtown LA studio, and mastered by Roskva from LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH. LP is limited to 300 copies on black vinyl, cassette limited to 200. Featuring some old songs and a bunch of new ones, this stands to be the best representation of HARASSOR thus far. Meanwhile, we've been busy working on new material for the next release, which we plan to start recording soon. We still have copies of the "Self-Titled" and "Hater of Man" cassettes, although they won't last much longer...

DARGAR - recording is well underway for a planned split with DEMONOLOGISTS (label and format TBD) as well as a new full-length on Rising Beast. The new material is different from the debut release...some of the harsh noise and chaotic elements remain but the sound has greatly evolved and expanded into funeral doom, death metal, shoegaze, post-punk and more...we are eager to reveal more about this exciting project...

MOONKNIGHT - "Ligeia" CD edition is nearly sold-out. Cassette edition just released on Universal Consciousness and is now available. New full-length "Valinor" has been in the works for some time, to be released on Chondritic Sound later this year. Basic tracks are recorded and awaiting vocals and final mix. The new material has more in common with "Toplov" than "Ligeia", with depressive black metal, straight up thrash songs, more shoegaze/post-punk, and even elements of death metal creeping in.

LORD FOUL - we still have copies of the CD and LP editions in stock, as well as t-shirts. Production is underway on the cassette replica version. I've had many people over the years ask about getting an original copy of the cassette demo from 1993. These are very scarce and hard to come by. So I decided to "re-create" the demo exactly as it was done before. Everything is done by hand, from dubbing the cassettes to applying the labels, photocopied covers, and hand-numbering each copy myself. Nothing "professional" about it! This is strictly limited to 50 copies, just for the die-hards! Coming very soon...
