April 6, 2011

Two new releases available today.  A CD single from persistence in Mourning and a tape/patch from Unearthly Trance.  More soon!

February 3, 2011: NEW TAPES!

The 2nd and final pressing of the moss live tape is in.  These last copies are the “purple edition”, get them while you can!  New tape from Secrets She Kept out now as well, and it’s a great one.  Check the releases and catalog pages for photos and ordering information.  Still have a few copies of non-witch sermon items available in the catalog section as well.  We don’t run a distro but we do sell items that we work on either as musicians/artists or engineers and get multiple copies of.  It’s best to check often, as we work on a lot of projects and we get small amounts of things in frequently.  More of those coming up, including a new ZZ 3″ cdr, the Rab’ha cdr and some Persistence in Mourning items.  Feel free to email us with any questions.  Thanks.

January 2011 Update

A couple of things coming up for the new year:

There will be a second and final pressing of the Moss – Never Say Live tape that we will have very soon.  150 more being made and these have a different color scheme.  New press is called the purple edition.

SERMON003 at press right now.  Secrets She Kept – La Fin Absolue du Monde cassette.  I’ve not stopped listening to this since I got it.  Their last album is very good, but pales in comparison to this monster.  For fans of early Behemoth, or even early (good) Sepultura, but it’s very original.  Death influenced US black metal with thrash influence.  These guys are impressive.  From musicianship to writing and their live show, it’s all absolutely ferocious.  Mastered by the legendary James Murphy.  An impressive album start to finish.

First press of moss and the zz tape are both sold out, check out the catalog section for a few new items we are selling our artist copies of.  Should be more in there soon as there are a couple of releases i did the mastering for and will have copies of when they’re released.

New releases on the horizon, all very exciting stuff.  Our first CD release will be a split between Aarni(FIN) and Persistence in Mourning(US).  We will be getting more into the CD and vinyl formats soon, but this one is kind of an experiment in terms of marketing/manufacturing.  We are using a service to press them that always keeps them in production and also have an option of purchasing the album electronically as high quality MP3′s.  So our physical copies of this will be very limited in the beginning and after that will be manufactured by request.  It’s essentially a co-release between witch sermon and the manufacturer.  More on that soon.

Thanks.

Launched, Halloween 2010

Witch Sermon, a new American record label specializing in underground releases has launched as of halloween, 2010 with tapes by Moss and ZZ.  We have several exciting releases lined up, but are focusing on quality of releases as opposed to quantity of them.  The label is also home to a recording studio, The Gorgon Head, and an art studio where we create graphics for releases or merchandise for underground musicians.  Owned and operated by educated and experienced artists and audio engineers.  We are now taking submissions for future releases, the only criteria our artists need meet is being artistically original, competent and exciting.  At the heart of it, our motivation is a desire to see music we like presented properly.  There will be more updates very soon.
