Dominating the spectrum of heavy rock and honoring the legacy of the almighty riff, Magnetic Eye Records is a boutique label presenting stunning records by new talent and established names from across the doom, desert and stoner rock landscape. Dedicated to presenting new talent and established names in doom, psychedelia, classic and stoner rock, we take pride in contributing to the legacy of the

almighty riff. Reflecting this, our "Redux” series honors landmark albums from artists as diverse as Jimi Hendrix, Helmet and Pink Floyd, re-imagined for MER by the likes of Matt Pike, Mark Lanegan, Pallbearer, The Melvins and Zakk Wylde, and is as critical to our identity as our roster of ambitious up-and-coming acts like White Nails, Leather Lung and Caustic Casanova. Magnetic Eye Records is part of the independent media group SPKR.

BESVÄRJELSEN are back with "Didn't Come to Party," the first new single from their third album 'Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem' (Swedish and Latin for: "Into Oblivion"), and hearing this track reminds us all just how incredible this band is. From the Moody atmosphere to the driving rhythms to the captivating vocals, we're incredibly stoked to have brand new music from BESVÄRJELSEN in our lives and out in the world 🪄❄️. Preorders for the new album are live now at our web shop and bandcamp, and "Didn't Come to Party" is streaming everywhere!
