New Zelosis Tape Now Available

So it's been a hectic Summer so far! After a bit of time off from doing label stuff I present today the new full length by Zelosis, Whitethorn CA's premier crust/prog/black metal band. I really don't even know how to best describe these guy's music so check it out HERE. It's totally awesome, Sometimes its got an older Neurosis feeling, sometimes it's a little more like mid 90's Enslaved, other times it just does whatever the hell it wants. All in all a very original and refreshing release. Zelosis also features Webi of Waul of the Weald and Sangre de Muerdago renown and if you were interested in WOTW but also enjoy metal I would highly recommend checking out this new release. They will be on tour all the way across the US starting at the end of August so check their Facebook page to see if they're playing near you!

In other news I've been playing drums with a new band in Olympia called Hoarder. The music style is very much focused towards hardcore with a lot of late-80's youth crew and early 00's fastcore type influence. We just finished recording a new 10 song cassette that will be self-released in early september and will be playing a handful of shows down the coast next month as well. The dates so far are planned as:

9/12 - Olympia, WA
9/13 - Seattle, WA
9/14 - Salem/Eugene, OR
9/15 - Oakland, CA
9/16 - San Francisco, CA
9/17 - Portland, OR

Ill post more info as it gets ironed out.

Waul of the Weald and Deprogram tapes are here!

Ive got today two very different new tapes to add to the roster.

First up is a new full length by Waul of the Weald. WOTW is a solo project by Webby who plays with Sangre de Muerdago and is a beautiful offering of forest folk from the woods of northern California.  Very epic and calming tunes played on 12 string guitar amongst other strings with lower male vocals. Recommended for fans of Tenhi, Sangre de Muerdago, October Falls and River.

Second up is a new demo from Olympia based D-Beat/Punk band Deprogram. This their first demo/release and is incredibly ripping and politically charged D-Beat in the style of genre classics like Discharge, Anti-Cimex and Doom.

For a full list of currently available releases check HERE . All tapes are $6 plus postage, if your interested in anything send me an email with what you would like and where you are located and I'll send you a total including shipping.

Huldrekall, Hiding and Cavernous Womb 4/3

Sunday April 3rd will bring Eugene's own black metal titans, Hiding, to the Crypt here in Olympia. Joining them will be Huldrekall (playing some new material) and a somewhat rare appearance by Cavernous Womb. Bands start at 9:45 and I believe Cavernous Womb is opening.

BlackMold, Badr Vogu and Wilt SAT. 3/19!!!!

Coming up soon on saturday the 19th BlackMold is playing our first show in a couple years! It will also be our first show with Alex from Huldrekall joining us on bass and it should be awesome. Were playing at the crypt in Olympia with our good friends Wilt from Seattle and Badr Vogu from Oakland. Come out and bang your head!!!

Huldrekall, Icesword and Ox 1/5/16

Huldrekall is playing a show coming up on Tuesday January 5th at the Crypt in Olympia. Were playing with two extremely glorious blackened fantasy metal bands, Ox, from Olympia and Icesword, from Flagstaff, Arizona. The show should be a lot of fun and the line-up is utterly beastly.  I think we might be playing first and seeing as its a Tuesday, we'll try and get the bands started at 9 sharp. We'll be playing a new track from our upcoming full length, so per usual, show up on time or face endless disappointment!

Huldrekall-Beneath Oblivion-Badr Vogu-Spectral Hatchery 11/21/15

Coming up soon Huldrekall will be performing at Cryptatropa in Olympia. We will be joined by up and coming Oly black metalers Spectral Hatchery (member of Twilight Falls/Mercury) , ultra doom maniacs Beneath Oblivion from Cincinnati, OH and crust/doom overlords Badr Vogu from Oakland, CA. With four bands playing the show will be starting promptly at 9, so show up on time or face ENDLESS DISAPPOINTMENT!

MANIA, RIVER, HULDREKALL, ALDA, BLACKMOLD and TWILIGHT FALLS

So after much anticipation and far too much work I am pleased to announce the arrival of six new(ish) tapes. They are as follows:

E - 001 Twilight Falls - Lore From an Ancient Forest

2nd repress of original 2004 Tape. Pro-dubbed and hand labeled. Limited to 145 hand numbered copies on card stock with new artwork. Includes 2 bonus tracks from Twilight Falls / Bleak split "Ode to Nothingness". Repeats on both sides. Twilight Falls was/is a musical entity from the west coast of America playing a style of black metal that is extremely harsh yet beautifully melodic. going between passages of intense black metal and beautiful yet twisted acoustic and ambient, this tape is seriously awesome. I cant compare it to any band cause it has a sound and style all its own. Includes members of Boreal and Stellar Decent.

E - 011 Alda - Passage

2nd press.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled. Limited to 200 hand numbered copies on card stock.  Alda, from rural Pierce County, Cascadia plays fantastically beautiful melodic black metal in a similaresque style to Bergtatt era Ulver.  Passage is their 2nd full length offering and their best yet in my opinion.  This album includes their trademark melodic black metal sound mixed with occasional clean vocals and glorious acoustic passages.

E - 012 Huldrekall - Into the Æther

2nd press.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled. Limited to 200 hand numbered copies on card stock w/ full color artwork.  Huldrekall is from Olympia, Cascadia and play psychedelic black metal with heavy crust punk undertones.   Into the Æther is our first full length and includes some of the most intense output we have created yet.  Includes lots of fast blast beats, headbanging riffs and ambient acoustic/synth elements.   For fans of Taake,  Nagelfar and Ludicra.

E - 013 BlackMold - Demos Compilation

Repress of 2 demos on one tape.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled.  Limited to 100 hand numbered copies on card stock.  Includes BlackMold Rehearsal Demo 2013 (side A) and Reign in Filth Demo 2011 (side B) .  BlackMold dwells in and around the Olympia area and plays heavy crust metal in a similar vein to Axegrinder, Motorhead and Mercyful Fate.  This collection of demos is being repressed in anticipation of the first BlackMold full length, due to be recorded/released this coming fall/winter.

E - 014 River - River

1st Repress, originally released by Eternal Warfare in 2010.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled.  Limited to 100 copies on card stock.  River hails from multiple locations in the western Washington and Oregon areas and includes members of Mania, Alda and Huldrekall.  This was our 1st full length and is an all acoustic and instrumental neo-folk album in a similar vein as Ulver's Kveldssanger album.  This album is being repressed in anticipation of a new River full length, due to be recorded and released this coming Fall/Winter as well.

E - 015 Mania - Revel

1st press on tape.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled.  Limited to 100 copies on card stock.  Includes amazing artwork by Eric Stotik.  This is Mania's most recent full length and continues on in his trademark twisted black metal/doom sound.   Lots of ambient influence and intense blast beats sends this release waaaay over the top.  Highly recommended for fans of Ruins of Beverast and other depraved blackened doom.

In addition to the above I still have some copies of Mercury - Inari and Wake - Discography. As well as Huldrekall "wolves" shirts and will very soon(within the week) have new Huldrekall "Nazi Metalheads Fuck Off" shirts. Ill post as soon as those are available. Unfortunately due to the rising cost of bulk tapes and photo-copying all tapes will be $6 dollars from now on. If you are interested email me at einsamkristall@gmail.com and include what you would like and where you are located so i can send you a total including shipping.

news update

So first off thanks to everyone that came out to the show last night at the crypt with cold blue mountain. Secondly i wanted to mention that i made a bandcamp page for Huldrekall and that you can listen to and download the tracks from our splits with Mania and L'Acephale for free. Ive also got copies of a cd-r we recently released which includes the above mentioned tracks and comes with a hand painted cardstock case and 11x17" poster. The first set of cd'rs i made have sewn sides on the case and the new ones are folded closed. The cdr's are $6 on the bandcamp page but if you email me and ask about them i'll sell em for $5. Huldrekall is looking to book shows in Seattle and Portland at the end of January, i'll post more info as soon as its set in stone. Until next time...

BlackMold Rehearsal MC + Huldrekall shows 1/22 & 2/7

So after a few years of silence, BlackMold once again has began to spread its way out of the foul depths, and after many years of thriving underground its stronger then ever before. Thats right after too long without word BlackMold returns with this limited rehearsal tape. Five tracks of heavy crusty metal for fans of MERCYFUL FATE, AXEGRINDER, and AMEBIX, definitely not recommended for fans of SCION RECORDS. Whilst not being an official Einsamkeit release, i'll have copies available for the next few months to those that are interested in hearing what we've been up to and can't wait till we finish the long awaited full length, which will hopefully be finished in the next months to come.

Also whilst I'm at it I would like to mention that Huldrekall will be playing two shows in Olympia in the next few weeks. The first will be on the 22nd of this month at Cryptatropa in downtown Oly, with ultra heavy sludgesters Cold Blue Mountain (from Chico, CA feat. members of AMAROK). The 2nd show will be on the 7th of February  with Rye Wolves, location TBA.

 Contact me for any info about the shows or any releases.
