February news from the ECP-HQ!

My legs spread around the triangle
Of the trinity unclean
My flesh made into a vessel
Of great powers yet unseen

Oh ´February, don´t be shy no more, you may be short, but you did come forth with much promises of future blasphemies.
We have many, many, things to tell you!

First, some of you might already noticed, in the ever flowing stream of information from the dark side, that we have signed a deal with super-cool Swedish heavy metallers DEAD KOSMONAUT! Fronted by none other than the Per “Hellbutcher” Gustavsson, the band has a new record almost ready. Stay tuned for more info on this, and in the meantime you can look at this impossible-not-to-appreciate-video!

Label Night! So, as this year’s shortest month is coming to its conclusion, we feel that it´s about time to let you know about something special we have planned for this spring. On April 25th we are presenting our first proper label night at home in Bergen at HULEN. Hulen, a legendary venue in so many ways. The defunct air raid shelter has hosted many concerts since its opening in 1969. Always run by students and volunteers – It has been an inspiration, a lifesaver (and -spender) and a kick-starter for many aspiring rock and/or roll dreams.

Doing something extra special for ourselves and for the people who needs this in Bergen, we reached out to our very own ASAGRAUM, and thanks to their enthusiasm and the help from their booking agency District-19 it actually worked out! It´s safe to say that we are really, really excited about this. And then, our new signing and soon record-releasing Lithuanian black metallers SISYPHEAN expressed interest in joining. We suddenly had a potential super line-up ready! When Hulen suggested that we bring Norway’s own thrashers RIOTER into the mix we were very happy. Since we are also planning to release their next album! Welcome to the ECP-fold Rioter! That´s Saturday April 25th! If you are in Bergen, you cannot afford to miss out on this.

Get you tickets and see ASAGRAUM + SISYPHEAN + RIOTER live at Hulen!

SIGN OF EVIL our Chilean masters of psychodelic hunger are out with their new album Psychodelic Darkness. Unpredictable, dangerous and extremely free of the limitations that what normal people call normal people suffer from. This Chilean band is like a Venom on acid. Using distortion and chorus effects without limitations, simply because it sounds awesome. Pre-orders fare open, and do check out this mega nice bundle and other items at the ECP shop.

The weekend is soonish upon us, so let´s all appreciate this! Sound is by no means perfect, but everything else is! Hellbutcher in front, Insultor of Jesus Christ destroys the drums and Tyrant annihilates the bass. Here also featuring the twin demon guitar powers of Apocalyptic Desolator and Vengeance from Beyond – now in our own ELDFÖDD. Nifelheim at it´s best!
