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

Pest returns with one last full length. Big was the shock when co-founder Mrok passed away in 2011, but inspiration was found a decade after his death and rather than searching for a new drummer, founder Scum honoured the legacy of Pest and Mrok and took up drums himself again. Combined with his and Atax’ trademark sounding riffs, as well as input from new member Brandt, the new album “Eternal nightmares” sounds really as if no time has passed since. The maniacal vocals from Mr. Blasphemy and Atax still cuts through your bones. The storm of riffs are trance-inducing yet ultra aggressive. All with the classic medieval weirdness to the sound that was already present on their demo and first albums. For Pest, innovation means retrogression. The new album still fully recorded and mixed by the band themselves in the rehearsal room, just as 25 years ago. It doesn’t get more authentic than this.

IMMOLATION is a true genuine Death Metal legendary band .
The band uses riffs written in dissonant harmonic patterns, often dueling between the two guitars, typically over complex rhythm and drum patterns for an undeniably unique and an absolutely diabolical result .
