Everbound in Darkness – A Mid-Year Reflection from Orko Productions
As Orko Productions, we’ve always stood firm in our purpose: to amplify the voices of the underground, to carve spaces for true art beyond trends, and to resist the suffocating grip of a music industry driven by profit over passion. 2025 has been a powerful chapter in that journey.
With immense pride, I share what we’ve released so far this year. Each one a unique, uncompromising work of vision, grit, and sound. From dark folk to dungeon synth, from ambient landscapes to neoclassical sorrow, these are not just releases — they’re statements.
2025 Releases (Alphabetical by Artist):
Alder Glade – Holocene Extinction
Atavus Infectum – Sylva Vidi, Terram Vidi
Daudeblod – Bakom Syng Skogane
Die Verbannten Kinder Evas – Come Heavy Sleep, Dusk and Void Became Alive, In Darkness Let Me Dwell, Die Verbannten Kinder Evas
Kathodos – Parasomnia: Pavor Nocturnus
Ortnit – Letzte Fahrt
Pazuzu – And All Was Silent...
Wolcensmen – Songs from the Fyrgen, Songs from the Mere
Each of these titles reflects our commitment to high-quality physical editions, curated sounds, and storytelling that lives in the margins.
In addition, 2025 saw the birth of our Orko Digital Series; a platform devoted to digital-first releases from powerful emerging and established voices in the underground. Your enthusiastic response proved what we’ve always believed: that sincerity and artistic integrity still matter.
Mid-Year Pause Announcement
Starting early July through the end of September, Orko Productions will go quiet. This temporary pause is due to my personal project, Tir, embarking on a tour across Europe. To follow our journey, please check Tir’s official pages and show your support on the road.
We’ll be back with new releases in 2026.
To Our Supporters
To everyone who supported us throughout the first half of 2025 — thank you. Your purchases, your messages, your presence — they all keep this machine alive.
In a world increasingly hostile to independence, we continue to resist and persist. Orko Productions is more than a label. It’s a statement of intent. And as long as there is music to release, stories to tell, and spirits to stir, we’ll keep going.
If you'd like to support us further, you can subscribe to our label via Bandcamp to gain early access and strengthen our efforts.
