TDS056 | Vermin Halls - Wrest the Claws of Death to Mine Own Neck

Six blackened dirges from the pestilent goddess, Vermin Halls. Written and recorded at the end of 2025 as a follow-up to “I Slit His Throat to Evoke the Goddess Within the Blood” the UK artist infuses personal despair and the misery of modern times with dark melancholic melodies that speak to ancient sorrows. “Wrest the Claws of Death to Mine Own Neck” is an enveloping doom-laden journey through the darkest nights of the self, a trek to find light in sheer stygian black.

Hand-numbered edition of 30 transparent home-dubbed cassettes with A/B sticker labels and photocopied J-card.

RAR231 | Lasiurus Cinereus - Vesper

“Vesper” is the first full-length from Lasiurus Cinereus, a dark dungeon incantation from the mind of Morke’s Eric Wing. Written and recorded in 2025 on an old Casio keyboard, “Vesper” pays homage to the hoary bat through six melancholic hymns; cavernous longing and mesmerizing melodies reverberate off glistening stalactites and take flight into the night sky. Wing explains, “The goal of the album and Lasiurus Cinereus as a project is to pay homage to my favorite species of my favorite animal, though not solely out of my love for it. Lasiurus is also a vehicle for me to convey my sympathy and relation to how grossly misunderstood bats are, as growing up I always felt incredibly misunderstood myself - and to some degree still do to this day.”

All digital sales and the proceeds from tape sales will be donated to Bat World Sanctuary, a non-profit accredited sanctuary providing rescue & lifetime care for orphaned and injured bats.

Limited to 50 hand-numbered pro-dubbed blood red cassettes with A/B pad-print and 5-panel J-card.

RAR230 | Resinator - Justice of Toren

“Justice of Toren” is the newest release from UK-based High Fantasy synth artist, Resinator. Following up last year's “Ritual Bath”, Resinator transports the droning atmosphere and shimmering melodies from meditative sauna to sentient space ship. Based on “Ancillary Justice”, a Hugo Award winning novel by Ann Leckie, “Justice of Toren” perfectly soundtracks a space opera with an ear for dark intrigue and sustained starlit textures; an enveloping nightscape to launch the listener into icy orbit around Shis’urna.

Play fu***ng loud.

Limited edition of 50 hand-numbered copies. Pro-dubbed UV-printed cassette with double-sided four-panel J-card.
