Dictator's Fate: Finally Released in All its Double-Lengthed Glory!

After innumerable bizarre obstacles and a severe disaster or two, Silvis Records at long last presents Dictator's Fate, a new double-length album by Madolenihmw.  Jangling, supernaturally-tinged goth with prominent insular pacific influences; think the Smiths performing in a tiki bar on the island from Wickerman.  Get it on CDBaby for $9.99, or simply stream it there as often as you would like for free.

The creation of this album has been ongoing since October of 2017, and occurring simultaneously with the production of a new 2x album by Young Vulgarians.  So far, this is the longest it has ever taken to complete a Silvis Records release.  In the process, the computerized brain of Millar Street Studios was unfortunately and utterly destroyed by a series of power outages which occurred while off-island.  Fate is not absolutely heartless, however, as we were able to recover everything from the hard drive after a physical extraction.  

What caused this bad luck?  Silvis Records' dark actions causing equally dark reactions?  Perhaps it was the recent publication of Nukshean's work in a prominent satanic / left hand path journal?  Or perhaps it was recent forays into cryptocurrencies such as Blackened Coin (KVLT) or Spitecoin?  Most likely, the culprit was development of the new Young Vulgarians album.  Long-time followers of the band are well aware of its persistant history of bad luck: a series of failed record deals/labels, the protracted disappearance of its frontman somewhere near Angola or the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and its recent re-emergence into an even more isolated obscurity than ever before.  Providing the ever-strengthening curse upon YV does not cause us to fall down on our necks while feverish and bleed to death like Stephen Foster, this should be a fantastic release.  The synth collection involved is tremendous, and gathered from all corners of the earth.  This will be the last album recorded  (partially) in Millar Street Studios, and the first to be mixed/mastered in our new HQ, Kuugin Studios (still under construction).

"Left Hand Heart" -- Free Single by Madolenihmw

Madolenihmw's 2x album "Dictator's Fate" will be released in early Spring 2018.  To prepare you for it, we've released the first single on CDBaby.   Think of it as a jangling combination of early Primal Scream, esoteric occultism, the Smiths, Iggy Pop, various Micronesian influences, etc.  Stream it there for free, or support Silvis Records by making a $0.99 purchase.  https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/madolenihmw2

Ataxeta LP: Kalsakski

Silvis Records is pleased to announce its 34th release, Ataxeta's full length album "Kalsakski"; a description-defying work of esoteric nightmare, and shamanistic determinate negation.  This is perhaps the most challenging and terrifying work in the Silvis Records catalogue, and not recommended for casual listeners.

Alaska-based artist Ataxeta explores southeast Alaska's esoteric geopsychology and associated demonology. Ataxeta's "Oppressive Black Metal" style combines a diverse array of instruments, meditative ambience, gnostic formula composition techniques, and dub-like production to create an effect of intellectual and spiritual gain through absolute darkness and abandon. Fronted by Nukshean, of infamous southeast Alaskan underground acts Skaltros, Kuundlaan, Malaxis, Naukati, and Sutreak. 

  

Cantharellus -- Imelda

After an enormously long wait, we are finally glad to be able to present Cantharellus' epic full-length LP, Imelda.  Dark, fuzzed-out shoegaze / goth-grunge played on vintage surf guitars through cranked british amps.  Absolutely not to be missed.  Get it over at CDBaby.com for $9.99.

Naukati: Undressing the Dusk

Naukati presents a new 3.5 hour masterwork, "Undressing the Dusk."  Alaska-based black metal / dark ambient dirges conjuring nostalgic images of overgrown, forgotten worlds.   Available for $9.99 at CDBaby. 

Based on Revillagigedo Island, Alaska. A project of Nukshean, also of the black metal bands Skaltros, Kuundlaan, Ataxeta, and Malaxis.
