Procer Veneficus - Convoy (Pt. 2) DIGI CD [GIM030]
After releasing the stunning "A Summerhaze Array for August Nights" 2 cd boxed set, now comes this new effort from Procer Veneficus. Convoy (Pt. 2) takes off in a slightly different direction in terms of composition and form but make no mistake, this is Procer Veneficus' greatest and most absorbing / thought provoking work to date. Almost an hour of psychedelic Black Metal delivered like no other... Just let these mp3 samples speak for themselves. [Bright Starhome - mp3] [Incorporeal Acclimation - mp3 EXCERPT] Out Now!!!
Frostmoon Eclipse - "The Legacy" CD [GIM029]

The CD is presented in a DVD case with artwork that has been designed to resemble a weathered old book and also comes with a two sided insert with info on all 16 tracks and a sticker, making this a definate must have for all diehard Frostmoon Eclipse fans. All limited to 500 copies. Full mp3 sample [Lurking in the Forgotten Kingdom of Buried Sorcery] Sold Out!!! Velnias - "Sovereign Nocturnal" CD [GIM028]
God is Myth Records is proud to present Illinois based blacked doom outfit VELNIAS. The bands music can be best described as a combination of sorrowful black metal with a very doomy atmosphere, combined with elements of folk. Although the band definately has their own sound, one could easily find comparisons to bands like OPETH, AGALLOCH, PRIMORDIAL & WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM. “Sovereign Nocturnal”, the bands debut album is miles ahead of their 2007 demo “Pacing the Cyclic Nether” in terms of maturity, songcraft & production. With the three songs combining for a total running time of 41 minutes & 15 seconds the emphasis has been laid upon a musical foundation of progressive yet feral riffs intertwining with delicate passages that only make the heavier parts that much more potent, not unlike early Opeth & Agalloch! Combined with lyrical content based upon the premise that the human race is insignificant compared to the grand power and prestige of nature this is a debut album that should not be dismissed! mp3 exerpt [Sovereign Nocturnal] Out now! CELESTIAL SEA - "Deep Inside the Cold" [GIM027]
Four rather lengthy tracks of 'celestial' post-rock featuring God is Myth Records label owner Todd Paulson (all instruments and programming) and Andrew Curtis-Brignell (vocals) from the mighty UK post-black metal project CAINA. This material was recorded last spring/summer and came together out of a shared passion for bands like MOGWAI, MAGYAR POSSE, CERBERUS SHOAL, MONO, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, ISIS, CULT OF LUNA, 70'S rock, metal and other forms of 'celestial' music. The release is will be a pro-duplicated cd-r limited to 300 copies and will come housed in a nice eco-wallet. mp3 Samples [William Bentley's Grave] *EXCERPT* [Deep Inside the Cold] *EXCERPT* Sold out!!! stroszek - "songs of remorse" DIGI CD [GIM026]
Continuing on with our fascination with dark and emotional acoustic music we have unearthed another gem. This time in the form of Stroszek’s (Italy) "Songs of Remorse" debut album. The band's namesake (Stroszek) comes from the WERNER HERZOG film of the same name and is the perfect moniker for a band with such a gloomy atmosphere. While the band contains members of one of Italy's most respected black metal acts FROSTMOON ECLIPSE, this should be looked upon as a seperate entity and not just a 'side project'. With carefully strummed minor key acoustic guitars, deliberate yet restrained piano lines, bursts of heaviness added for texture and deep, lush clean sung vocals that relay a sense of dread lurking beneath the surface, "songs of remorse" is perhaps at once one of the most melancholic yet accessible albums of 2007... "your own life failures made music" mp3 Sample [The Night Porter] Out now!!!
GODHEADSCOPE - "A City Out of Sight" CD [GIM025]
Every once in awhile we get a promo in the mail from a band/artist that is so completely out of left field and stunning that we make plans right away to put out an album by said band/artist. In this case we were absolutely pleased as hell to learn that longtime DEAD RAVEN CHOIR contributor Matt Rosin (working here as M.KOLOPHONIUM) has his own "ambient drone song" project called GODHEADSCOPE. This musical endeavour presents M.KOLOPHONIUM's attempt to bring Ambient, Noise and Chamber Music together in an all new relationship and the results come together with beautiful and original effect. Imagine if ARVO PART were to arrange and conduct a performance by CORRUPTED and you will only begin to scratch the surface of these deep and mysterious sonorities. For fans of WOLFMANGLER, vidnaObmana, LYCIA, BORIS, JESU, ROBERT RICH, DEAD RAVEN CHOIR and TOBY DRIVER. mp3 Sample [Joy Grime] *EXCERPT* Out now!!!
Dormant - "Beneath the Mighty Oak" CD [GIM024]
DORMANT is the newest project from God is Myth label owner and former UVALL (which released two cd's on Blackmetal.com ) proprietor Todd Paulson. He decided to move away from the somewhat strict confines of a straight forward black metal project such as UVALL to concentrate on this more ambitious work. Combining aspects of black metal, heavy metal, rock and neo-folk, along with unusual song structures the results of the debut album make for a very earhty and organic expirience. This work also includes appearences by Andrew Curtis-Brignell (CAINA) who contributed lyrics and vocals to the opening track entitled "Black Ashes" as well as Tanner Anderson (CELESTIIAL) who plays hammered dulcimer on the title track. The first 200 copies of this cd will come housed in a 'handmade' digipak with sticker. The rest of the pressing will come house in a DVD case with insert. Out now!

Procer Veneficus - "A Summerhaze Array for August Nights" Double CD Boxed Set [GIM023/AMR006]
Brand new double cd boxed set from PROCER VENEFICUS. Disc 1 - entitled “Duskworlds” is psychedelic and dissonant black metal drenched in the droning haze of summertime sunsets. Music for the arc of Venus and a glass of scarlet wine during a passionate August twilight. Threaded with several pieces of murky, amnesic ambience. Disc 2 - entitled “Lunar Transit” is soft, moonlit ambience for August meadows at midnight, lulled by the sea of crickets into dreamsleep. Heavily interlaced with sub-aqueous orchestral blurs. Shimmering atmospheric hymns attuned to the ebb and flow of Selene. Both of these albums are music from the late summer of 2005. This very special two cd set is strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide and comes housed in a beautiful cardboard box with some added bonuses. This is a split label release between God is Myth Records and Ars Magna Recordings.

Caina - "Some People Fall" CD [GIM022]
The debut cd from Englands’ CAINA is intense, emotional and enigmatic all at once. After a couple of demos released on Drakkar Productions (France) now comes this; An album where the lines between genius and madness are completely blurred. Take a peek into a mind where polarization is stretched beyond belief, and the foundations of what is considered ‘normal’ no longer stand on solid ground. “Some People Fall” indeed. Procer Veneficus - "Ghostvoices" CD [GIM020]
Highly atmospheric dream-induced fog music played solely on acoustic guitar and wreathed in wet ambience and distant whispers. Composed in solitude by a mountain lake, and completed in the saltiest of back-bay fogs. Emphasis on backwater oceanic lull, as well as sub-aqueous emanations. Very wet, eerie recording. Contains an acoustic cover version of VELVET CACOONS - P.S. Nautical! SOLD OUT! Dead Raven Choir - "Selenoclast Wolves" CD [GIM018]
What can be said about the amazing Dead Raven Choir that hasn't been said already? This release marks the return of D.R.C. after a slew of releases on some very respectable cd-r labels, not to mention 2003's "Wine, Women and Wolves" cd (Last Visible Dog) as well as last years "Cask Strength Black Metal" 3 LP box set (Weird Forest) which was a re-issue of ALL of the "Choir's" ugly, noisy, totally fuzzed out black metal on vinyl format. Smolken returns to the dark, avante-garde neo-folk side of Dead Raven Choir that has made this such a unique and awe inspiring musical journey. Selenoclast Wolves is an album that runs the gammet of emotions; Whether it be the creepy lurch and sway of the track "The Silence", the brooding melancholy of "When Men Die", or the sheer manic violence of "I am Not a Recluse" the common feeling throughout is one of complete isolation. As a bonus this cd will contain the complete re-issue of the "Lesbian Corpse Wolves" album which was limited to ONLY 30 copies. All completely re-mastered by Frédéric Arbour (Cyclic Law, Visions, Longing for Dawn). On "Lesbian Corpse Wolves" most of the vocals were handled by the beautiful voice of Emily Salvatierra. Aversion Online once said of this release that these "...dark, folk-ish compositions rely heavily on picking accents and clashing notes that are both melodic and completely discordant all at once..." and we could not agree more. Now lets all raise a glass (or goblet perhaps?) and thank Mr. Smolken for resurrecting his fascinating project once again!!!
SOLD OUT!
Sapfhier - "Trollskogen" re-issue CD [GIM017]
God is Myth Records is EXTREMELY pleased to announce the re-issue of this cult 'classic' demo from Swedens Sapfhier! This killer album was one of the original releases for God is Myth and was issued as pro cd-r limited to only 150 copies. Due to overwhelming demand, not to mention numurous enquiries about new Sapfhier material we thought it was only appropriate to re-release this fantastic debut of grim pagan style black metal. For those lucky enough to have aquired the original cd-r expect the same killer music with a revamped and expanded visual layout, as well as a more permanant medium. For those who didn't get a chance to hear this the first time around you can expect a full albums worth of fast & grim pagan style black metal augmented by some somber moments courtesy of flutes, keyboards and acoustic guitars. Some have compared this to older VINTERSORG or "In the Nightside Eclipse" era EMPEROR and we could not agree more. This is a co-release with Black Plague Records. SOLD OUT! Sapthuran - "To the Edge of Land" CD [GIM016]
The much anticipated follow up to “...In Hatred” is finally upon us. SAPTHURAN takes a major step forward with this latest ode to the mystery and power of the crushing force where land meets sea. Killer new release by this U.S. melancholic black metal act. Those familiar with SAPTHURANS' debut "...In Hatred" which was put out on Wraith Productions will surely note the distinct improvement over an already killer formula. While the black metal of SAPTHURAN remains raw, isolated, melancholic and hateful the added atmosphere on this album by use of classical guitars is something to behold indeed. Sounds very much as if JUDAS ISCARIOT were to invite VALI (Norway) out to the woods for a battle over supremacy. SOLD OUT! New Risen Throne / Cruel Harvest - "Shadows over Humanity" CD [GIM011]
3 brand new tracks from Italian dark ambient master New Risen Throne, plus the debut of U.S. dark ambient project Cruel Harvest. 7 tracks total and over an hour of icy cold and treacherous dark ambient soundscapes for fans of Raison D'etre, Northaunt, Svartsinn & Atrium Carceri.
