We are extremely proud and humbled to work with Bay Area blackened noise cult, Sutekh Hexen to release one of their finest and most devastating works: Become EP, consisting of two towering tracks, a half hour of relentless, vile, and smoldering blackened bath of frequency worship. Become showcases Sutekh Hexen doing what they do best: practicing their blackened craft of weaving rich sonic tapestries with electric guitar, field-recordings, vintage analog synthesis, unorthodox percussion and disembodied incantations. Already available on vinyl LP via King of the Monsters and the expanded CD edition will be coming out soon on Cold Spring, and now we present the final installment as a limited c30 via Sentient Ruin on May 20th 2014

SUTEKH HEXEN
Become

01. Five Faces of Decay (15:00)
02. The Voice : The Void

Become was recorded in 2012 by the band it self here in Oakland, and is yet another incredible and otherworldly composition of blood-soaked madness that enhances further the bands frightening discography, which has now reached well over ten releases in less than five years.

Originally released in an edition of 99 copies on 1/4" tape reels by Auris Apothecary, Become thematically centers on the manifestation of vortex, repetition, and inducing trance-like states. This release serves to bridge the gap between Behind the Throne LP (2012) and Monument of Decay EP (3rd quarter 2013). Re-mastered for tape/CD by James Plotkin, artwork and layout by Kevin Gan Yuen with source photography by Patricia Cram. Stream Become and order the tape HERE.

Two years after our first release saw the te light of day in 2012 - the cassette version of Abstracter's Tomb of Feathers - we've made this imprint a serious deal and we'll start releasing stuff for our friends as well. First up is the debut album by italian gloomy and desolate crust-doom band Buioingola, from Pisa, Tuscany, titled Dopo L'Apnea. This album is a monstrous slab of icy aural malevolence, inconsolable grimness, and crushing doom. These three guys have brought Bauhaus, The Cure, Neurosis, Yob and Amebix all under the same roof and the final result is nothing short than fucking gorgeous and annihilating. The album was already self released on a limited edition digipack by the band and digitally on Bandcamp, and will be released digitally world wide and as a limited edition, home-made cassette tape by us, to start with in 100 hand numbered copies. The release date is April 1 2014.
