Fresh ltitles have arrived!
These won’t go live on our webstore just yet. We’re packing our bags for this weekend, so festival-goers get first dibs!

While cleaning up the warehouse, we also dug up a total time capsule: a few unsealed copies of long-sold-out releases:

Dark Forest – Dawn Of Infinity (2011)

While Heaven Wept – Sorrow Of the Angels (2010)

These rare gems are live on the online store right now and will also be at our merch booth this weekend.

Vous allez au PWOA ? Venez nous voir ! Nous aurons ces raretés, les toutes dernières sorties de Dying Victims Productions, du nouveau matériel d'Iron Slaught et de Scald, ainsi qu'une énorme partie de notre catalogue en CD et vinyle. À ce week-end !

"With ‘Relics‘ they’ve provided a miraculous feat of revival in realizing these songs that’d lingered in the back of our minds for decades. For the heavy metal, power-doom, and epic heavy metal fans this should be considered an essential addendum, a brilliant example of keeping the faith. A high recommendation."

Cheers to Mystification Zine for the glowing review of the new Scald EP.

"Relics" is officially out tomorrow, but the entire EP is streaming now over at NWOTHM Full Albums youtube channel!
