ASHTORETH - "Rite II-Fire" Video

A wisp of smoke where Spirit hides

wills the fire to refine and cleanse that of old

The new video from Belgian artist, ASHTORETH. A wonderfully dark soundscape for a dreary, cold and wet morning...

"The Dead Don't Die" Trailer

A dark comedy zombie film. Directed by Jim Jarmusch. Iggy Pop as a zombie. Tom Waits. Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloë Sevigny and a samurai-sword wielding Tilda Swinton. And that supporting cast. Are you kidding me!?

Sign. Me. Up.

Hellripper - "All Hail The Goat"

It can't be dark ambient all the time. I still need my thrash metal, and Scottish ripper James McBain's project Hellripper is just the fix. "All Hail The Goat" is the first track off his latest release, and it absolutely, positively rips...

The Order Of The Thinned Veil, 2019

I freely admit to my love and adoration of the art of Sam Heimer. Is there any artist whose vintage-styled illustrations better encapsulate all things Halloween??

Three years ago, I took a chance on a new collaborative project between him and fellow Halloween artist, Jason McKittrick. The project was called The Order Of The Thinned Veil, a year-long celebration of all things Halloween. Upon subscribing to one of three levels, new Order members received amazing packages filled with illustrations and sculpted figures, along with a plethora of other cool Halloween ephemera. You even got a package of pumpkin seeds to grow your own in time to carve for the 31st!

I was instantly hooked. It was such a fun project to keep the Halloween feeling going throughout the whole year.

I jumped on last year's subscription, and it was even better than the previous year's offering. My Heimer collection of illustrations and McKittrick collection of sculpted figures continues to grow and I am fully hooked on the Order!

And now is your chance to join me! It was announced today that the 2019 Order Of The Thinned Veil subscriptions are now up and ready to order. Three levels to match your level of dedication (and wallet).

I CAN NOT recommend this fun project enough! So many cool little touches make this a mandatory Halloween fan's addition. Cool Halloween tchotchkes and even cooler Halloween art.

Our Halloween season starts today! Get over to the Order Of The Thinned Veil page, check out all the cool stuff and subscribe! How can you not!?!?

  

Council Of Nine - "Circle Of The Sun"

Feel yourself enveloped by the deepening darkness and despair. I absolutely love, love, love this dark ambient track from Council of Nine!

Desiderii Marginis - "The Silence Of A Thousand Years"

Another incredible dark ambient track from legendary Swedish artist, Desiderii Marginis. This track, The Silence of a Thousand Years, is the first single from his upcoming release, Departed. So much atmosphere on this one, I cannot wait for the full release...
