SPG019 - Moosegut - "...To Flowery Deaths" MC
From the deepening gloom come nine new offerings from the polarizing mastermind behind Moosegut. Rife with folksy elements, both musically and lyrically, Casio keys and the obvious nod to a certain Finnish act. This album is the perfect pairing to the annual hunt and, of course, to flowery deaths.

Thanks to everyone who picked up items for the UAnimals charity campaign!

This campaign will continue until all the charity items sell out.

All proceeds on select items in the webstore will be donated to UAnimals, an organization actively involved in sheltering and rehabilitating animals impacted by the Russian/Ukrainian war.
Update: the previously mentioned printing company was cool and agreed to remove these from their webstore.
Back in 2023, before the inevitable falling-out with Asrar, E.A.G.L.E. agreed to a Fortitude t-shirt design to be released by the disgraced label. 20 shirts were to be produced and the band was to be given two as their licencing fee. The band was hoping for more, so they were instructed to purchase the additional shirts from the Asrar webstore, to be included in the parcel with the artist copies for the CD and LP runs of "Fortitude" and "Autumn Hearts..."
The parcel Asrar sent the band was claimed as 10 LPs with a value of $20 on the customs form. Meanwhile, Fed Ex is holding a 20 kg box. Naturally, eyebrows are raised, parcels opened, questions asked by agencies, and additional tarrifs added. The parcel is eventually released, but at the heavy cost of a band member's anonymity.
To [only] the band's surprise, the agreed-upon licencing fee (10% of the initially agreed-upon run of 200 of each LP) wasn't met. Only after demanding the factory orders from Asrar, it was proclaimed that 200 black and 88 coloured LPs of each title were produced and that the band was receiving less than the agreed-upon amount because the albums needed to be remastered and that he had to pay for graphic design (I personally designed and submitted the layouts myself).
Since the falling out, E.A.G.L.E. operatives have been keeping a close eye on Asrar stock and news regarding their affiliates. During the last stock-check for the Fortitude t-shirt designs, only 1 small remained in the Asrar store. All of a sudden, Asrar and [redacted] blatantly have 10 copies of the shirts for sale again respectively. Tsk. Tsk.
In addition to charging the band shipping for the additional shirts they bought from the first run, the quality of the print was horrible and Asrar even sent one in the wrong size without so much as a word.
To anyone still affiliating with this clown... I strongly suggest you don't. [Redacted]
