Pelagic Records

Pelagic Records Independent Berlin-based record label x high-quality music provider.

Pelagic Records will be releasing select bands and artists in the future that deliver quality music and art and share a common vision of tastefulness and style. The label is closely connected to the Berlin-based international musicians' collective The Ocean. Our philosophy is to release few records a year, and to maintain high standards of quality and aesthetics. The label is technically open for

artists of any stylistic context, from experimental black-metal to singer-songwriter to aethiopian fusion jazz, as long as they are genuine and challenging, and their art inspiring and moving. We are big fans of the idea of the album, which is increasingly getting discarded in the age of myspace. Pelagic will be releasing albums, because we believe in the idea that an album can be more, and should be more, than the sum of its tracks.

👏🏻 HIRAKI reveal new single ‘Thee Ode’ and a live piano session!

With foam at their mouths, HIRAKI sing, scream, and recite their way through songs about corrupted data and moral decay. Encouraged by boundless acts like Botch, Street Sects, and The Body, HIRAKI were formed in 2016, when the progressive rock band Liserstille went into hibernation. Jon Gotlev and Tue Schmidt Rasmussen then recruited their old friend and collaborator, Tim Frederiksen, to form a noisy trio unlike anything else on the Danish scene at the time.

👏🏻 Predatory Void release new single and live video “Contemplation In Time”

1st single ‘Contemplation In Time’ from Predatory Void’s new EP titled ‘Atoned In Metamorphosis‘, calling on elements from sludge, doom and black metal, as well as the unrelenting energies of hardcore, Predatory Void’s signature sound is as volatile and piercing as ever. Bursting forth with immediate intensity, the gung-ho rush of ear-splitting riffs gives way to tension building verses before plummeting us into violent bliss. Building on tension, each section of the track raises the stakes, culminating into a dissonant final third and thrashing finale. Confrontational, passionate and rigoursly composed, ‘Contemplation In Time’ holds nothing back in its thirst for reflective chaos.

The band comment: “‘Contemplation In Time’ is about the anticipation of the inevitable: ageing and death. We don’t like to name it, as it cuts deep. We hope to be prepared for the dreaded moment. But as fatigue kicks in and we disarm ourselves, we’re bound to face it in our most raw and true form.”

We are excited to share a first glimpse on the lineup of Pelagic Fest 2026 with you.

THE OCEAN will return to the stage of Muziekgieterij with a new lineup and a new album release just around the corner, to inaugurate the next chapter in their journey spanning 11 albums and 25 years of existence. This will be the first show for the European audience and the first opportunity to hear new material.

We are incredibly excited to welcome THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE to Pelagic Fest.
After 10 years of hiatus, the collective reunited this summer for a single Berlin show, which sold out months in advance. The vibe in the room was sublime and full of anticipation, and proved that even after such a long hiatus their music has been all but forgotten. TKDE have pioneered and shaped a musical genre of their own with albums like ‚Here Be Dragons‘, ‚From The Stairwell‘ and the self-titled 2006 debut album. We can’t wait to immerse ourselves in their mesmerizing dark soundscapes.

OH HIROSHIMA will return to the MainStage of Pelagic Fest with a new album that we can’t tell you more about at this stage, only that it’s coming out before the festival.

EF will grace us with their 2025 re-recorded debut album „Give Me Beauty... Or Give Me Death!“ in its entirety.

SPURV will be releasing their new album „Kelolågen“ next spring and LOST IN KIEV will drop „We’re All Going To Be Fine“ in the summer, and Pelagic Fest will be your chance to watch them perform their new offerings in full.

THE DEVIL’S TRADE will bring us a full band performance this time, and PREDATORY VOID, OTAY:ONII, ZATOKREV, NORNA, ABRAHAM, HANRY and PREYRS will all make their debut appearance at Pelagic Fest.

This is not the full lineup! More names tba.
Tickets at link in bio.

See you in Maastricht!

👏🏻 Predatory Void announce “Atoned In Metamorphosis” EP

Predatory Void returns with their second record, an EP titled ‘Atoned In Metamorphosis‘, a concentrated statement of intent that compresses the band’s restless energy into four precise movements. The music negotiates extremes: patient, reverb-saturated passages give way to sudden, metallic eruptions; subterranean basslines provide narrative weight beneath volatile guitar textures, vocals growl, wail and lament as drums alternate between measured architecture and volcanic release. The result is an austere, immersive sound that is both incandescent and violently sharp.

“’Atoned In Metamorphosis’ represents the process of confronting the uncomfortable truths within ourselves — the obsessions, the grievances, the shadow sides so many hide or ignore. As we evolve and change in life, we’re inevitably faced with these darker, sometimes evil and obsessive parts, both in ourselves and in others. In recognizing our flaws, we begin to find strength — not in perfection, but in self-awareness. For some, this can feel like a spiritual or emotional cleansing, a kind of healing that comes from seeing ourselves fully, and embracing what we once tried to deny.”

Predatory Void’s approach is textural and structural in equal measure. The guitar interplay of Bossu and Decloedt ranges from skeletal, melody-driven motifs to dense, dissonant blocks that shift the tonal center, always accessible even in the heavy crush of crescendos.

“We’re stoked to reveal the first few names for Pelagic Fest 2026! And these are not the headliners yet, but all 3 artists will perform very special full album sets exclusively at Pelagic Fest.

👏🏻 Jagged City announce their debut instrumental EP, ‘There Are More of Us, Always‘

A bold collection that moves between spacious, melodic guitar passages and raucous, swelling climbs. With heartfelt, melodious songwriting, a diverse range of eclectic touches buried within, and eruptions of dense, layered sound, this record delivers wonderfully balanced compositions through raw and personal production.

The project began as a cross-continental art experiment between Jake Woodruff (Defeater) and Carlos Torres (former touring member of Explosions in the Sky). What started as a simple exchange of ideas quickly found real shape through collaborative composition and thoughtful arrangement. Early sessions with David Haik helped refine the songs’ structures and drum frameworks, setting the groundwork for what would become Jagged City’s striking debut.

👏🏻 Happy Release Day!
⚫️ Ef - Give Me Beauty… Or Give Me Death! (20th Anniversary Edition)

In 2025, EF and Pelagic Records mark a double milestone: the 20th anniversary of ‘Give Me Beauty… or Give Me Death!’ and Pelagic Record’s 300th release. Reimagined and with expanded production, this edition is a considered re-engagement with the material that first crystallised EF’s voice. The band returns to these songs with the benefit of twenty years’ craft, presenting new arrangements that stretch time and deepen narrative, while retaining the quiet-to-catharsis arc that has always set their music apart.

“Since it’s our precious first born we wanted to give it the love it surely deserves. We felt we didn’t want to celebrate its big 20th birthday by just remastering it and we surely didn’t want to make the songs too modern and unrecognisable for the old fans. We wanted to give it a tighter, more dramatic and bombastic make over… a gentle touch of today’s EF.” (Niklas Åström)
