CD

The most obscure material recorded in the USA, the EP entitled “Unholy Darkness And Impurity”, originally released in 1993, by the legendary Havohej! Totally restored layout, remastered sound and, as bonus material, the rare EP from 1994 “The Black Mist” is added.

“This is the first proper recording under the name Havohej. The style of “Unholy Darkness and Impurity” was something that I captured in the spur of the moment at the studio in real time. As time went on the Rumble / explosion was added to and expanded upon. What you are hearing is the very first incarnation of that basic idea of things to come!”
Paul Ledney, February 2026

As the cold season returns, Hypnotic Dirge Records is proud to announce the brand new studio album by Canadian death doom band Norilsk.

The quartet has assembled a brand new chapter in the band’s discography, building on the characteristics that made Norilsk what it is today while offering something undeniably contemporary. The new album, Antipole, picks up where 2022’s EP Beyond the Mountains left: with its slow doomy riffs, cold melodies, recognizable death growls, and a hint of post-metal atmosphere brought by a dual guitar interplay. While offering rewarding surprises to those who have been following the band since its beginnings, this album is also a major step forward for the band, and an ideal point of entry to anyone new to the band or death doom in general.

Norilsk is known for its unique take on winter doom, where cultures and nordicity provide a backdrop for addressing other deeper concepts such as loss, mental illness, or identity with the land. On its new album Antipole, the artist explores the concept of duality. The album flows between slow and faster songs, and highlights the contrasts in death and doom, with its beauty and tragedy, harshness and fragility, light and darkness, reality and fiction, and its gravity and ethereality.

Originally released in 2017 and out of print for many years, NONE's selftitled debut quickly left a mark upon dsbm listeners and was the beginning of a run of consistent high-quality releases culminating in the final album "Inevitable". From the opening notes of NONE's debut, a chilling and despondent atmosphere enveloped the listener weaving piercing guitars with haunting synth pads and minimalist melodies

The fourth and final pressing of NONE's selftitled album is now available, released for the first time alongside unreleased reimaginings of the first two songs that became NONE
