LIZZARD - Black Sheep
🔥 LizZard first single ‘Black Sheep’
‘Black Sheep’ explores the daily dichotomy of body and mind through impassioned, introspective lyrics atop the band’s bracing one-two punch of thunderous, polyrhythmic drums and colossal riffs.
LIZZARD have also shared a striking video for the single, which sees the dark, angular edges of their sound colliding, both figuratively and physically, with an ethereal dancing presence clothed in flowing white bandages.
LIZZARD on ‘Black Sheep’:
“‘Black Sheep’ is about the eternal duality of body and mind, black and white, yin and yang, that we all face each and every day.”

I HÄXA - Part Two
🔥 i Häxa release ‘Part Two’
Where ‘Part One’s harsh electronics and distorted alt-folk followed a nameless, wraith-like woman through an ever-shifting fever dream of nameless places and unbridled, impassioned impulse; ‘Part Two’ is more intimate, tender and organic as the focus shifts towards i Häxa as a physical entity, as myth made manifest.
As such, the warmth of ‘Part Two’ lets a sharp sliver of light pierce through the gloom, serving as a sobering blade of honesty and anger that burns up the mental dead wood and emotional detritus rather than rotting in it, as ‘Part One’ explored.
Check out the absolutely stunning live performance of ‘Part Two’, captured at Middle Farm Studios over at our Youtube channel ▶️ https://youtu.be/J8P1HLX7EUU

SUGAR HORSE - The Shape of ASMR to Come
🔥 Sugar Horse release new video
UK quartet Sugar Horse have unveiled their powerful new single ‚The Shape Of ASMR To Come‘, taken from their new album The Grand Scheme Of Things, to be released 4th October via Pelagic Records.
Vocalist / guitarist Ashley Tubb commented on the single: „After my dad’s passing, in the time before his funeral, I learned a tonne about his life that I previously hadn’t a clue about. He’s been through a fair bit in his life and this song is kind of about that. It’s a kind of “through adversity, there is redemption” type song. No pain, no gain etc.“
‚The Shape Of ASMR To Come‘ is the second single taken from the upcoming new album, following the release of ‚New Dead Elvis‘.

OH HIROSHIMA - Wild Iris
🔥 Oh Hiroshima present first single & video for ‘Wild Iris’.
Wasting no time, album opening track and lead single ‘Wild Iris’ gets straight to the point as the band’s most urgent and insistent work to date. A driving, half-time groove introduces Jakob’s seemingly innocuous opening line of “My friends are ordinary” before it’s turned into a cautionary tale against mediocrity by the resounding refrain of “It’s been way too long since lightning struck right through you” that brings with it a reinvigorated wave of Oh Hiroshima’s thunderous post-rock prowess.
The accompanying video captures this latent crisis with a collision of dynamic live footage of the brothers in action against anonymous characters wasting away on a steady diet of nothing.
Dear @followers : watch the full video now and make sure to pre-order ‘All Things Shining’, released on June 28.

HIPPOTRAKTOR - Silver Tongue - Drum Playthrough by Lander de Nyn
🔥 On June 7 Belgian heavy hitters HIPPOTRAKTOR will release their highly anticipated new album ‘Stasis’.
Check out this amazing drum playthrough of their recently released first single ‘Silver Tongue’ by the band‘s very own Lander de Nyn. He comments:
„Silver Tongue is my favorite track on the album. The whole album feels like a big jam session to me. You’ll never catch me playing the same part exactly the same twice in a row. The more I play these songs, the more ideas I get to make them more interesting drum-wise. In this way, I love discovering new things in music that I know through and through.“

THOT - Supercluster
🔥 Thot release music video for ‘Supercluster’
Lead single ‘Supercluster’ was the last track written for their newest record ‘Delta’ and sees the band embracing the confusion of a world turned upside down. A driving, bass-heavy adrenaline rush of French and English at first feels bewildering but, as Grégoire says, “‘Supercluster’ represents a Covid supercluster just like it represents a galactic supercluster. A scale ranging from microscopic to monolithic like this makes us realise that whatever we’re wrestling with, whether it’s ourselves or each other, is ultimately insignificant and immaterial. Enjoy life, enjoy the ride.”
Boundary-breaking by nature, THOT will also be releasing a series of narratively interlinked videos alongside singles from the record featuring some of the faces and places that helped bring ‘Delta’ into being, as well as characters and tales that have emerged from the creative process itself. True to form, there is no guarantee that these videos will be released in chronological order. The band want their audience to shape the story, to become part of the story themselves.

Pelagic Records sign NORNA! 🔥
Today we‘re excited to announced that we have teamed up with Swiss-swedish powerhouse Norna for their new album to be released in August.
Robin comments: „I have followed Tomas‘ musical path since Breach, whose cataclysmic live performances I witnessed multiple times between 1995 and their reunion show in 2006 at Debaser in Stockholm. “Venom“ and „It’s Me God“ are among the most important albums for me ever and have shaped my own musical path and the one of this label significantly.
After having the pleasure to play with Tomas in our now defunct band The Old Wind, Norna is Tomas’ new musical project, completed by 2 guys from the Swiss band Olten. Norna clearly pick up and carry the bright burning torche that Breach have left behind when they disbanded, and their upcoming album is a disgustingly cold and vile piece of cutting edge heavy music, abrasive as sand paper and heavily emotionally charged, whether you know and love Breach as much as I do, or not.“
The band comments: „We are stoked to be joining forces with Pelagic records and the Pelagic roster for our upcoming and 2nd album release. So bow down and get ready for the massive amount of moving air with this one.“
Keep your eyes peeled for more info! 🙌🏻
OH HIROSHIMA
🔥 We’re proud and excited to announce the signing of Swedish post-rockers Oh Hiroshima. 🙌🏻

„We’re thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with Pelagic Records! A label we’ve always admired and feel represents well what we’re trying to achieve with our band.
So, thanks to the whole Pelagic team for bringing us into the family. We already feel at home and have a lot of exciting things in the pipeline coming your way.
More on this soon!“

I HÄXA - Underworld
Mysterious, multifaceted collective i Häxa have announced the arrival of ‘Part 1’ on February 16th, 2024, with preview piece ‘Underworld’ released today as a tantalising teaser for what is to come. Doubling as the electronica-soaked, alt-folk soundtrack to a mesmerising short film made in collaboration with director Daniel Broadley; ‘Part 1’ marks the beginning of an innovative year-long, audio-visual campaign.
Whilst ‘Part 1’ is composed of four distinct movements, pulling them apart into easily digestible singles isn’t an easy feat. In an age of fast fun and instant gratification, the ties that bind this work together are intended to transcend tracklisting. With aural, visual and lyrical themes freely intertwining, i Häxa is something to be consumed whole; just as it will, in time, consume you.
‘Part 1’ is but the start of a truly ambitious, multifaceted project from singer-songwriter and visual artist Rebecca Need-Menear (of electronic alt-rock duo Anavae) and forward-thinking producer Peter Miles. Together, as i Häxa, Need-Menear and Miles will be using the seasonal solstices of 2024 as waypoints to unveil three further collections of songs and cinematics ahead of a vinyl box-set combining all four Parts, set for release in November.
Until then, ‘Part 1’ and the following 3 EPs will be exclusively available on vinyl as part of our monthly vinyl subscription, and digitally for everyone to be released on the following dates:
Part 1: February 16
Part 2: May 17
Part 3: August 16
Part 4 & full length album: November 1
A project years in the making that draws simultaneously from rituals for old gods and the modern day deification of data, i Häxa is both heartwarming and horrifying; i Häxa is ancient history and hyper-real; i Häxa is everybody and no one at all; i Häxa is for you and for me; i Häxa is here and it is happening now.

LUSTMORD - Behold A Voice As Thunder
🔥 Lustmord premieres first excerpt of the upcoming album ‘Much Unseen Is Also Here’, out March 15 via Pelagic Records.
Opening piece, ‘Behold A Voice As Thunder’, is an ominous droning fog that conceals something unspeakable. Glacial strings, a zither-like dirge and manipulated found sounds are cut short by a gargantuan pounding presence, whether looming footsteps or a colossal heartbeat; the choice is left entirely to the listener’s imagination.
Head over here to listen & pre-order the album on 2xVinyl, CD and digital: http://orcd.co/lustmord
