Solar Funeral label/distro.

DIY label and distro ran out of the love for the music, the ideas and the need to dream. I have no interest in releasing the "next big thing" or "band of the week." Why are you here?

RELEASES: Limited, Hellbanger versions are not done to create an artificial value increase. It is done for fun and as an extra bonus to people that still love to buy records as opposed to simply downloading MP3s. Vinyl is for people that like to take the time to fully experience a band's output, to immerse ourselves in the sonic fury and scour every inch of the lyrics and liner notes. Hellbanger versions will be sent out with direct mail orders while available.

DISTRO: I try to focus on lesser known bands that deserve to be known! So if you don't see a lot of the bigger names or bands that you recognize, that is why, those can usually be found in many other places. Take a chance on something, you may be surprised.

DISTROS, STORES, LABELS, BANDS: I am always up for trading, but I have to be picky. Feel free to send your lists! Otherwise, wholesale is an option as long as my release is available.

AVAILABLE! 45 RPM 12". 9 bloody tracks of heavy, ferocious hardcore punk from Ohio in under 22 minutes. The music is unrelenting, ugly and driving without being formulaic.

Fighting Dogs 7" E.P.

**FINAL COPIES** From their final recording session, this E.P. contains 3 songs, 2 new ones and 1 re-recorded that previously appeared on the 2005 tour demo. Hailing from Baltimore and Philadelphia, this is their 4th release; a testament to the progression of their sound. The lyrics tell tale of a blackened earth, but not without the will to dream. The music is nestled somewhere between the early Peaceville sound and modern, Swedish crust. Pressing of 500. This comes in a full-color sleeve with 2 sided insert. Cover art by Moses Saarni.

MP3: Hammer Of The Light

$4.00 black vinyl.

Stores/distros, get in touch for wholesale.

Dismal: Terra Plague 7" E.P.

Raw, pissed, fast Scandanavian influenced (eg. Anti-Cimex, 1st Skitsystem 7") crust / hardcore with tinges of Amebix and Celtic Frost (Morbid Tales era) here and there. When the moon is gone and the octopods take over, this record will be your only defense. 5 songs, comes with a poster depicting your brutal future. Survival is your torture...heal now or perish!

MP3: Octopods Will Be The Genus Of A Moonless Earth

$3.00 black vinyl.
