Hi, hello and good day!

Today is Bandcamp Friday, meaning Bandcamp waives their revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels. Maybe you know this already

What you may not know is that all sales we do go directly back to the respective artist. And this in particular isn't a Bandcamp Friday thing, this is how we've always done it and always will do it. Nakama Records is there for the artists, and not the other way around.

Have a good Friday! 🥳

The vinyls are finally here, and Oh-My-Ghost do they look great. Orders from our bandcamp. Review snippet by Xiao Fu 👻

Segaki features a story-driven concept and uses a narrative style akin to cinematic horror. It feels like a colossal Southeast Asian cave worm spewing out a rancid epic, carving its way through instrumental soundscapes and reaching the climax of instrumental improvisation where "vomitous spills" unfold. The track titles, seemingly emblematic of the spirit of brutal death metal albums, surprisingly find themselves rooted and bloodthirsty in the fertile soil of free improvisation.
