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 Recording, Mercury/Cavernous Womb + General News Update

It brings me much pleasure to announce that the Huldrekall west coast tour went over fantastically and that recording for our upcoming full length is complete! We now begin the mixing and mastering stage but the most difficult aspects are done and over with. We will also be performing in Seattle next month on monday the 18th at Black Lodge with the mighty Barghest! I'll post the flyer once its available.

Im also pleased to announce the arrival of E-016 "Mercury / Cavernous Womb" split. 100 copies on pro-dubbed and inlayed cassettes with hand made and numbered J-cards.  Mercury's side is split into a two part epic of dark droning synth and heavy psychedelic acoustic guitar. The Cavernous Womb side is one long hypnotic piece comprised of dueling synths and percussion. Both side would be well suited for your next trip into the astral plane.  To commemorate the arrival of the new tape we will be hosting a show for both projects within the next few weeks here in Olympia. More details will be posted as things solidify.

Here is a list of all the tapes i currently have available and what will be coming in the next few seasons (except the Mercury/Cavernous Womb which is already in). I'm sending out for the Waul of the Weald and Deprogram tapes within the next week or so so those will be the next up. I'll keep you posted as to further happenings. All tapes are $6 plus shipping, if your interested in ordering you can do so by emailing me and letting me know what you would like and where your located, or you can do it through the Big Cartel page HERE.  Until next time...

In addition, the set that was performed the other night at the Crypt was recorded live and will probobly be popping up sometime in the near future.

I would also like to announce that a previously unreleased Cavernous Womb track from 2013 entitled "Enveloped in Glistening Rays of Sunshine" will finally see the light of day on an upcoming Cavernous Womb /// Mercury split tape. More details will come as plans get further solidified.

Sludge and Ambient show 3/25!

On Friday March 25th heavy sludger's, Dispossessed, from Portland will be playing at Cryptatropa here in Oly. Performing with them will be a new project I've been playing with, currently under the working title Moondawn. It features Lily from Squilll on guitar/sounds and myself on synths/samples. Expect very laid back and psychedelic ambient/drone. You can hear a demo recording of our most recent practice HERE . Show should start around 9:30ish and bring cash for the out of town band!

Huldrekall, Morose, Druden and Rohit SAT 1/30/16

For the first time in almost 5 years Huldrekall is playing a show in Seattle that isent at FBK! Saturday the 30th were playing at the Black Lodge in Seattle. Its gonna be an incredibly solid line up as well, joining us will be:

Morose- Seattle awesome melodic sludge/doom

Rohit - Portland super aggressive and noisey black metal/sludge ala Bone Awl, but better

Druden - Portland rad melodic mid-tempo black metal with doom influence (ex member of Threnos!)

The show starts at 9 and I'm not sure what the order is so show up on time!

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...

Huldrekall shows and new full length

So first things first, Huldrekall has got 2 shows planned for the next few months. First is this coming Friday December 12th at Cryptatropa here in Olympia with Cold Blue Mountain and 1 other. Bands start at 9:30 sharp!

The second show will be at Obsidian on January 11th with Usnea, Badr Vogu, and Wilt.  Should be super fucking heavy so be there or be square

Also I want to mention that Huldrekall is currently busy recording for an as of yet unnamed new full length. We should be finishing up the recording later this month and ideally it will be out on cassette by February.

In other Einsamkeit news, i will be releasing Mania's most recent full length "Revel" sometime soon. Funds are drasticly low (big surprise there) so im not sure exactly when it will be out, but soon indeed.

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. 

Einsamkeit 009 Mercury - Inari MC + Distro Update

So after many months of mis/dropped communications it brings me great pleasure to announce the arrival of "Inari", the latest release by kvlt cascadian dark ambient project Mercury.  Two tracks ranging from mellow psychedelic drone to pulsing hypnotic darkness, featuring members of Boreal, Twilight Falls and Hypnogogia. Pro tape limited to 200 hand numbered copies. Highly recommended for fans of Paysage D'Hiver's more ambient works.

Im also glad to announce that the gears are finally in motion for the long awaited River/Vradiazei split 7".  Michael and i traveled to portland yesterday to lay down mandolin, bodhran and vocal tracks, were hoping to have our side recorded and mixed within the next month or so....

Cavernous Womb +Huldrekall L'Acephale CDs

Well, Eternal Warfare Fest was a fantastic succsess. essentially all of the bands totally ruled, there was tons of good friends around and good times to be had. thanks everyone that came out! Just before the fest i finished putting together a new Cavernous Womb tape.  2, twenty minute tracks of deep space drone, hand numbered and limited to 100 copies.

Also whilst at the fest i picked up some copies of the second pressing of the huldrekall/l'acephale split cd. Brian from L'Acephale/Hyden Venet put these together and once again they look pretty awesome. Tapes are available for $5 plus shipping and the cd's are $10 plus shipping. email me at goblinzrulz@gmail.com if your interested, send your zipcode also so that i can figure out the postage rates to your location.

Aurora Bridge/Cavernous Womb, Huldrekall/L'Acephale

2 new releases for you.

1st. Aurora Bridge/Cavernous Womb split tape. One track from each band, 40 min each of intense psychedelic drone. The Aurora Bridge side is a bit more harsh while the Cavernous Womb side is considerably more ethereal. 

2nd. Huldrekall/L'Acephale split CD-R.  Brian from L'Acephale/Hyden Venet came up with the idea to make CD-Rs of the new album so that it would be available before the tapes get in. Very deluxe packaging for a CD-r. Only 50 copies were made but i only have about 10 of my share left.  I imagine this will go quickly, however if you don't mind waiting a few weeks the cassette will be here hopefully around the turn of the year.  As the previous post states you can look forward to a heavy dosage if grim and melodic black metal from both bands on this one

Tapes are $6ppd US and $5 plus shipping WORLD
CDs are 11ppd US and $10 plus shipping WORLD
email me for any questions or extra info-dylan/einsamkeit

Mania & Huldrekall

It brings me great pleasure to announce the arrival of Einsamkeit 004! Mania from Salem open with 2 tracks of unrelenting black chaos. Sometimes fast, other times slow and hypnotic, Mania shows itself to be a force to be reckoned with yet again.  Huldrekall from Olympia/Seattle follow it up with 3 tracks of psychedelic depressive black metal with an occasional hardcore/crust edge.  This album was a split release between myself and Nate from Mania's label Eternal Warfare. Pressed in 200 copies, you can get a hold of one of these from the eternal warfare page or from me. As always tapes are $6ppd US and $7ppd WORLD just get in contact with me.
