  • HIGHGATE – Sign to Horror Pain Gore Death Productions | Prophecies Of Eternal Horror to Release on March 27th

    Single & Pre-orders Live Now

    Kentucky’s Doom laden Sludge lords HIGHGATE have joined the Horror Pain Gore Death Productions roster for the release of their new full-length album, Prophecies Of Eternal Horror. 

    Emanating from the hills of Northern Kentucky, HIGHGATE unleash a Sludge filled, Doom laden yowl that speaks of years of struggle and despair. Prophecies Of Eternal Horror finds the dead bodies stacking to the sky as HIGHGATE grapple with global war atrocities, religious fanaticism and class warfare.

    HIGHGATE has shared the album’s first single, “At Paranoia’s Poison Door.” The song is described as a blackened-doom battle cry against an overreaching government that wants us too scared to think or act for ourselves. The lyrical refrain of “crawl to your masters”speaks to the song’s theme of government capability to brainwash citizens into cowering boot-lickers.

    Prophecies Of Eternal Horror is set to be released on March 27.

  • Listening Now : Lana Leone – Isabell

    Lana Leone dive deeper into shadow with Isabell, a dense and immersive shoegaze cut that swells with atmosphere and emotional weight. Surging guitars blur into thick waves of distortion while thunderous bass and drums anchor the chaos below. The Minneapolis band lean into a moodier direction here, letting tension simmer before erupting into towering, echo drenched choruses that hit with full force.

    Alana Christen’s voice floats above the storm like distant light, fragile yet resolute, guiding the listener through verses steeped in haze and yearning. Around the two minute mark the track fully opens up, revealing its emotional core without losing its layered intensity. Isabell feels like standing beneath a black sky filled with noise and longing, searching for something just out of reach.

  • Listening Now : Cody Anderson – Sonder

    Cody Anderson’s Sonder feels like it was carved straight out of a restless night in the mountains. Blending delicate acoustic picking with subtle layers of synth and restrained percussion, the Oklahoma City songwriter captures that fragile space between anxiety and awe. There’s something cinematic in the way the song moves, like storm clouds slowly clearing to reveal first light.

    Inspired by a thunder filled night spent with his dog and the calm that followed, Sonder balances tension and tranquility with quiet precision. Anderson’s indie folk sensibility never overreaches. Instead, he lets atmosphere do the heavy lifting, creating a track that breathes, reflects, and ultimately settles into a gentle sense of peace.

  • Listening Now : storyinsoil – Spin Glass

    storyinsoil open distillation with Spin Glass, a live modular exploration that leans into hypnotic repetition and slow burning transformation. Built from pulsing sequences, swelling pads, and steady rhythmic undercurrents, the track gradually expands like circuitry finding its own logic in real time. There is no rush here. The movement is deliberate, patient, and immersive.

    Layers accumulate with subtle tension, creating a sense of controlled disorder that feels both meditative and slightly disorienting. Spin Glass thrives on texture and evolution rather than melody, drawing the listener into its synthetic landscape and holding them there. A strong opening statement that sets a tone of metamorphosis and deep electronic immersion.

  • Listening Now : The Gristle – Misfit

    The Gristle come in loud and loose on Misfit, a riff heavy blast of garage rock swagger that feels built for sweat soaked stages. Thick, gritty guitars grind against a pounding drum backbone, proving once again that two people can generate the kind of force most bands need five for. There is no overthinking here, just groove, attitude, and instinct running hot.

    Misfit thrives on raw energy rather than polish. The riffs are dirty, the pulse is relentless, and the whole thing carries that reckless momentum that makes rock feel alive. It is stripped down but never thin, punchy without feeling forced. A final teaser before Urban Myths lands, and it hits exactly where it should.

    T O U R

    Toured with Truckfighters, Dregen and Spiders in 2024. Then followed that with supporting Handsome Dick Manitoba (Dictators) in 2025. Upcoming tour supporting Philip Shouse (Accept) on his Shouse It Out Loud tour together with Nicke Andersson (The Hellacopters), Jesper Lindgren (Velvet Insane) and Mats Rydström (Abramis Brama)
