Vidna Obmana launches bandcamp

Picture
Dirk Serries is proud to announce that the official vidnaObmana bandcamp is online.  A process that was under construction for almost two years.  From gathering many of the recordings from the now-defunct tape labels and/or from the personal archives of John Weyden, who kept melticulously all the officious recordings vidnaObmana recorded and gave to his friend.  Focused on the obscure period from 1984 till his first explorations in ambient music (solo and in collaboration with various international musicians and bands, active in the independent cassette scene, like PBK and Big City Orchestra), the music is digitally remastered and saved from the slowly deteriorating original analog 2-track tapes.
 
To celebrate the lift-off, if you buy the complete catalogue you'll be able to enjoy a 50% discount thru December 31st 2016.  Time to complete your collection, visit here.

Zornheym reveal new video

Picture
Zornheym, founded and led by multi-instrumental mastermind and songwriter Zorn, have released a video for the song 'The Opposed'.  Drawing inspirations from the likes of King Diamond, Dissection and Dimmu Borgir; the music contains elements ranging from melodic to crushingly heavy sound portrayed by the wide array of instrumental textures. 

Zorn comments: “Working with Martin (Strandberg (Sabaton, Shining, Sterbhaus)) has been an absolute honor. He is a perfectionist and really has the eye for telling a story. I think he has captured the essence of prisoner ZH000A27’s agony. Also Bendler has pulled off a hell of performance starring as the main character and Ingela Larsson’s make up is just mind blowing!!!” (Check her out on instagram @ingelaviolamakeup)
