For the month of January the price of the Strapping Young Lad vinyl will be greatly reduced. There's no ulterior motives behind this move, just a thanks to our customers for a great year and loyalty. Please take advantage of this limited time offer.

Leng Tch'e vinyl update 11.13.05

So, some things have happened recently that have delayed the manufacturing of this vinyl. A) Owner of Deepsend got married= expensive. B) US pressing plants are incompetent, always use Czech Republic manufacturers for vinyl. C) Trying to move to a new and more affordable location away from the suburbs.

So, to make a long story short, we needed to send the vinyl to Recordpressing.com as they are the only true vinyl pressing company. This is the same pressing plant that did the SYL vinyl we put out. We've been told the vinyl should be done in 3-5 weeks from today. Let's keep our fingers crossed kids.

Welcome NEFASTUS DIES to Deepsend Records!! 10.30.05

Canadas scathing black metal entity Nefastus Dies has officially joined Deepsend Records. Featuring former members of Trails of Anguish and Unquintessence, following their impressive promotional effort , 'Prelude', lta multii-laum worldwide deal was inked. The as of yet untitled effort will be tracked at the end of 2005 and will be recorded by now legendary producer Yannick St-Amand (Despised Icon, Ion Dissonance, Neuraxis) at an undetermined location. The band is looking to hit the road this Spring to decimate US soil in support of their debut album. If you can help book the tour or can get the band some dates, please contact the band at: management@nefastusdies.com for all other related info: www.nefastusdies.com to hear 2 demos from their promo 'Prelude. Nefastus Dies officially took form in March 2002 when former members Void and Betrayal met drummer Tommy Mckinnon, bassist Auriel and finally keyboardist Iraabbas. It's at this precise moment that the band started composing as a whole and hence the primal conceptual direction was born. The band mainly focused for three years in creating new songs and doing shows when the opportunity presented itself. At that time there was enough material to record two full length albums and they started gaining live experience on various occasions. Unfortunately, drummer Tommy Mckinnon was then asked to leave for personal reasons. Scythrawl (ex Trails of Anguish/Unquintessence) was afterward contacted to take over the drumming duties. This marked a significant turning point for the bands new direction. After lots of discussions the band agreed that drastics changes would have to be applied to the overall sound, concept and imagery. Most songs we're butchered then restructured in a more vicious and agressive overall manner. The concept was also rebuilt from scratch. Betrayal dropped vocal duties and focused only on guitars. We then contacted ex Trails of Anguish live bassist, Ill-fate to come fill in the vocal works

Welcome INFANTICIDE to Deepsend Records!! 10.30.05

Swedens crust-inspired grind core act Infanticide has officially joined the Deepsend Records roster. The band focuses on playing fast and intense with their main influence being older Napalm Death, though it is clear that Rotten Sound, Nasum and FaceDownInShit all play a pivotal role in the musicianship. The bands yet to be titled debut full length album is due to be tracked near the end of 2005, with a hopeful release next spring. To check out some demos or for any additional information about the band, check out: www.myspace.com/infanticideterrorunit

Infanticide was formed autumn 2002 by Kristoffer Lövgren om drums, Simon Frid on bass & vocals and Johan Malm on guitar. We thougt, ah, what the fuck, let's try. At the first rehearsals we played mostly standard "Swedish" crust, but soon we decided to go for a faster approach, with Napalm Death as the biggest inspiration. Infanticide has never been about playing technical music and trying to fit as many chords as possible in every riff and playing in strange 1265/876 measures, just playing fast and intensive music and having a good time. The first demo was recorded Jan. 2003 in Overlook studio, our first time ever in a real studio. Following the recording of the demo we played our first show, in the same building as our rehearsal and the studio. This was in April 2003 and the show was pretty catastrophic but I'm not sure anyone noticed. During the summer we played a few shows in the Gävle/Sandviken area and we concentrated on writing songs for a second demo. The second demo, called Global Death Sentence, was recorded in November 2003 in the same studio and received mostly good reviews. This demo was later released by Yellow Dog Records as a 7" called Lunacy. During the winter of 2005 Olle joined the band on bass, letting Simon concentrate on singing only. We recently recorded a new album entitled We Are The Enemy which will be released as a 10" and CD by Yellow Dog later this year.

SYL tshirt update::::: Shirts are in stock and ship now!!

**Limited Edition** SYL shirt announced!! 07.21.05

It was made official today that Deepsend Records will release a very **Limited Edition** STRAPPING YOUNG LAD tshirt. We should have the image up on our site by the end of the day today for Pre-Order. We strongly urge everyone to get their orders in immediately since there will be less than 100 of these shirts available!! Also, the faster you get your orders in, the easier it will be for us to make an accurate order for sizes before getting them manufactured.

A special tshirt+vinyl combo deal will be listed in the next few days as well. Keep an eye out for that. Tell your friends and post this information on any messageboards you can. Thanks for the support. All pre-orders have been sent out as of 10am on 7/21/05. Some of the larger orders in the US were in fact sent media mail, but with delivery confirmation. 90% of the orders were sent via Priority mail for added assurance for our customers. 95% of thel international orders were sent Airmail, some of the larger orders were sent by parcelpost Air which takes a couple of weeks longer than regualr Air and is about half the price.

Mangled in stock 07.20.05

Mangled CDs came in today and look amazing!! We'll get those shipped out to pre-orders this week. If you haven't already ordered this gem, head on over to our online store and pick up a copy or listen to the mp3.

SYL vinyl shipped to all pre-orders 07.20.05

Just a heads up that all of the SYL vinyl has been shipped, most was shipped last saturday with an estimated receival date of this saturday if not sooner. Just wanted to get this info out to you asap so you all could keep a watchful eye out for it.

SYL vinyl in stock!!! 07.09.05

Yes it is true. The SYL vinyl is finally in stock and man did it come out amazing. Inside and out this is excellent. I believe the sound achieved here is equal if not stronger than the CD if you can believe it.

We do have one slight problem...The pressing plant sent only 10 clear plastic outer protective sleeves instead of all 500. Also we came to find out that the sleeves don't even fit over the jackets. The rest of the sleeves are arriving on this coming tuesday, but like I said, they don't fit and will have to be sent back to Czech Republic for a replacement. That's even if they have a replacement in stock which hopefully they do. This really sucks and we know that you guys who pre-ordered have been waiting very patiently. So, we can do 1 of 2 things here....1) We can wait for the replacement sleeves and send your record then or 2) We can send the record now and you can try and track down your own sleeve (most underground used cd stores have shrinkwrapping machines that they might wrap your records at a low cost). This choice is entirely up to you as always. We don't want you to be disappointed at all with this record as it's trully one of the best of the year and a staple in the metal scene. Please email us at: info@deepsend.com with your name and email address attached to your paypal address that placed the order with what you would like us to do. Thanks for your time!

SYL vinyl arriving this friday!! 07.05.05

As some might have guessed, there was a slight delay at the pressing plant. Nothing too out of the ordinary in regards to pressing vinyl that's for sure. Anyways, we'll have the SYL records in our hands on friday of this week and won't be able to start shipping them out until that following monday. Unfortunately due to our hectic work schedule, that's the best we can do as far as shipping. We'll probably send half of the pre-orders on monday and the other half on tuesday. By the end of July everyone at least in the USA and Canada should have their records, though my guess is that just about everyone internationally will as well. Sorry about this. Had we known that all the upgrades we made to make this the best quality record would have changed the release date, we would have informed you all ahead of time. Believe me it will be worth the wait.

New MANGLED Shirts!!! 06.17.05

New MANGLED shirts are now available in our webstore. We also have a bunch of great deals where you can buy one of our band's shirts and their CD at a much lower price then ordering them separately. Oh yea, this deal is also available for Mangled as well. Believe us, you'll all be coming back for the shirt once you hear how punishing this new record is.

new titles added! 06.04.05

We just added 100 new titles to our online store. Please browse through our catalog and see what's new. We have added a ton of hard to find records from Hammerheart and Season of Mist, most in first press digipak format. Also, check out our ebay store this week for about 200 new titles.

SYL vinyl update 05.14.05

As many of you know, our paypal account has been down for a couple of days. Not very convenient considering we announced pre-order for SYL "Alien" not 4 days ago, totally oblivious to paypal not working. Anyhow, we have been assured that by wednesday of this coming week, paypal will be up and running again and we can accept your pre-orders for this amazing record. On a similiar note, we have had to drastically alter this release, but bear in mind it is all for the better. Here are the details:

1) The record will now be a Double 10" LP. Due to not knowing the length per side of a standard LP before sending all the parts to the manufacturing plant, the record will now be a Double 10" LP. Unfortunately given the fact that an extra LP costs considerably more and the fact that it adds weight for shipping, the price will now be $20 for US orders and $26 for World.

2) The record jackets will now be glossy finished as opposed to the standard cardstock.

3) The vinyl will now be 180 gram (give or take we are told)

Deepsend Records to release vinyl of Strapping Young Lad "Alien" 05.11.05

Deepsend Records to release vinyl of Strapping Young Lad "Alien"

Hot on the heels of Deepsend Records signing an exclusive distribution deal with CM Distro (a Division of Century Media), the label has also secured the licensing rights to press all future Century Media releases on vinyl. The label will start this vinyl deal off with a limited edition pressing of STRAPPING YOUNG LAD "Alien" on gatefold LP and later will issue Dark Tranquillity "Character" on LP format as well.

All vinyl will be extremely limited to a special one-time only pressing of 500 copies all hand-numbered to commemorate the first time ever that these bands have had a release on vinyl format, including Strapping Young Lad. The label has already started taking Pre-Orders for Strapping Young Lad via mailorder (webstore Pre-Orders will begin next week) as the plan is to have this record out in mid June in time for SYL's slot on the Sounds of the Underground Tour featuring Lamb of God, Opeth, Gwar, Killswitch Engage etc. It has also been announced that the "Alien" LP will be issued in 2 different colors of vinyl (all vinyl licenses will have 2 distinct vinyl colors as well). The first 300 orders of "Alien" will receive green vinyl while the rest of the press will be issued on blue.

Please be aware that this record has already received more interest than we could ever imagine and will definitely sellout before its official release date in mid June. Deepsend has decided to start pre-ordering early to give all fans worldwide an equal opportunity to own this gem (arguably the best of the band's career), since fans overseas deserve just as much chance as those stateside. To Pre-Order Strapping Young Lad "Alien" LP click and spread the word to SYL fans worldwide!!

More vinyl announcements as they come in. We'll have a special vinyl Pre-Order section on the site in about a week's time. Keep your eyes peeled.

Oblomov sign to Deepsend!! 04.09.05

We're proud to announce the addition of yet another international act to our evergrowing roster. Hailing from Czech Republic, please welcome Oblomov.

Science and metal aren't exactly the most cohesive forces in terms of characteristics, nor would you expect to hear either used in the same sentence, let alone the same spellbinding album. Not since Vintersorg has science, namely astronomy and metal adhered to each other as seamlessly as with Oblomov. The lyrical content merges these two juggernauts together, although Oblomov have opted for an avant-garde mixture or black and death metal for their weapon of choice. This formula often lulls the listener with its moments of grace while still displaying its fair share of utter chaos along the way. Although Oblomov's arsenal is backed by drum machine battery, its attack is as explosive as the pioneers of the technique; Anaal Nathrakh.

The band's new opus entitled, Mighty Cosmic Dances will be unleashed this summer worldwide by Deepsend Records and distributed by CM Distro. This new amalgamation contains nine songs including two short segues used as an intro and outro respectively. The music of Oblomov is both eclectic and brilliant with lyrics partially inspired by the works of sci-fi heroes Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg as well as Thomas S. Kuhn and his work with the scientific revolution.

Braced for Nails and Deepsend part ways 03.13.05

Due to reasons out of our control, Deepsend and Braced for Nails have been forced to part ways. The reason being, the band required the release of their record much sooner than it was feasibly possible due to the street dates presented by our distributor Century Media. This is an extremely unfortunate situation for both parties, but this was entirely unforeseeable when the deal was inked months ago before the labels recent distribution deal. But what counts is that the split was amicable and both parties are still close friends. The band is planning recording sessions for the month of April for an early summer release date. Keep a look out for "Icons Above All Others."

Deepsend signs exclusive distribution deal with Century Media 03.10.05

Deepsend Records is proud to announce that the label has signed an exclusive distribution deal with metal giant Century Media. The deal covers North and South America, as well as Canada. The label will be re-issuing back catalog titles as well as all future releases through this agreement. All future releases will now sport CM's trademark logo which has become a staple of excellence in the metal scene for years.

The label will issue a free worldwide sampler cd appropriately titled "Global Pollution" to officially start this agreement which will feature as of yet unreleased demo or unmixed songs from albums that will be released later this year. This sampler cd will first be available at this year's New England Metal and Hardcore Fest, so those in attendance make sure to stop by our booth and get some free music. Also starting in mid-April all orders placed via the labels mailorder or webstore will receive a free copy of this sampler and 400 subscribers to Unrestrained Magazine will receive a copy in or around May/June.

Deepsend Records will release the brand new studio recording from grind enthusiasts Vulgar Pigeons entitled "Burning Episode," on a specially packaged 3 inch clear CD with exquisite art by cult artist Pat Thompson. The rest of 2005 will see new albums by Mangled, Fragments, Braced for Nails, Whispering Gallery and 2 albums from VLE. Keep your eyes peeled, 2005 is the year of Deepsend Records.

Images of Violence + Braced for Nails on Minneapolis Mayhem Fest 02.03.05

Our very own IMAGES OF VIOLENCE and BRACED FOR NAILS were hand selected to play this year's installment of the Minneapolis Mayhem Fest # 2 on May 6th and 7th. Please mark this date down on your calendars and get the word out. This should be one hell of a good time. Headliners and additional bands will be added soon. Check out the festival website for more information: www.minneapolismayhem.com

MANGLED sign to Deepsend Records!! 01.12.05

Deepsend Records is proud to announce the signing of the Netherland's MANGLED for the release of their third studio album, "Witness Disposal Program." Recorded throughout June and July by the guitar player Erwin Hermsen @ Tone Shed Studio. The new abhorrence features twelve paralyzing hymns of blistering death metal that are sure to punish the will of humanity while forging a path of total annihilation along the way. With a new punchy and aggressive vocal approach, MANGLED are poised to become a noteworthy adversary to the death metal throne currently held by such acts as; Hate Eternal, Suffocation, Decrepit Birth, and Deeds of Flesh just to name a few.

Mangled was formed in 1989, released two well received demos shortly thereafter ('Cadaverous' in '92 and 'Perish' in '93). In 1997 Wild Rags signed the band and went on to release Mangled's debut MCD 'In Emptiness.' In 1998 the band signed to Fadeless Records for the release of 'Ancient Times' which comprised all of their earlier material on CD format. 2000 marked a crucial turning point for Mangled as they signed to The Plague, a subsidiary of Hammerheart Records (now Karmageddon Media), for the release of their critically acclaimed 'Most Painful Ways' album which was released the following year in 2001. The band followed-up this release with extensive touring and in 2003 participated in the Violating Europe Tour which featured Vile, Spawn of Possession, Inhume, and Disavowed to great media/press. 2003 marked the release of 'Carnal Abhorrence' which was released by Fadeless Records on 7" format which featured two new songs as well as covers of Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse.

2005 marks the sixteenth anniversary of Mangled's existence as well as their signing to US based Deepsend Records for the release of 'Witness Disposal Program,' the band's most complete and virulent opus to date. With the help of the labe's worldwide exclusive distribution deal with Century Media, Mangled will once and for all garner the adoration they so rightfully deserve.

VLE signs to Deepsend Records!! 12.02.04

NY's VLE has officially signed to DEEPSEND RECORDS for the release of their next currently untitled record. Tracking for the effort will take place at the artist's home base throughout the New Year and commence in March for a release shortly thereafter. The label will also rerelease their critically acclaimed 'The Book of Illusions: Chapters 1,2,3' together as a double disc sometime in late 2005. We are currently seeking a talented landscape artist that can capture the mood and atmosphere that VLE exerts with their stunning music as seen on 'The Book of Illusions' releases. All interested candidates send an email to: deepsend@deepsend.com

VLE is a solo project based in New York City which started in July 2001. Inspired by ocean sunsets, darkness and silence... VLE has created improvised expressive minimalist soundscapes that serve to evoke different emotions. VLE is a journey through timeless motifs and cosmic spheres of existence. The sound of VLE is raw and emotional as all pieces were constructed without use of programming or traditional composition style. The music of VLE is very eclectic as each piece represents the different moods we all experience in this life. This is music from the soul... music erected from the subconscious. And if you are open to other states of consciousness, you too shall learn. VLE invites you to experience the deepest realms of darkness and beauty.

Works created through strict use of experimentation and improvisational techniques... the most important element is the depiction of atmosphere where all instruments/sounds fuse together. Noise, chaos, infinity, beauty, darkness, light, pain, harmony, melancholy, rhythm, power, melody, repetition, dissonance and duality are all concepts expressed herein...

Vulgar Pigeons finish new record! 11.18.04

Vulgar Pigeons have recently completed their fourth studio recording entitled "Burning Episode" for Deepsend Records. Seven new songs were tracked with a running time of just over 16 minutes. Artwork is being completed by Pat Thompson, so expected some serious eye candy. Comments the band, "the new material starts where 'Imperialism' left off but throws a lot of new twists and dimensions on top of that. Recorded at House Of Faith Studios in Oakland, CA the effort will be mastered by Scott Hull at Visceral Productions shortly and is slated for an early 2005 release.

VANCOUVER available now!! 09.03.04

Finally after some delays, VANCOUVER's "The Moment" CD is available now!! Go checkout the mp3 and buy the record. bitch!

mp3's + more features added to site!!! 06.23.04

As you can tell from the front page, we finally have a sound samples feature on the site. It will take a bit of time to get mp3's uploaded from every band, so bear with us. We also have to have the programmer of the syntex teach us how to upload mp3's to the site, so that will take some time as well. Hopefully by this weekend we will have at least some if not all of the mp3's on the website. You guys will die, when you hear how sick this Vancouver record is. Amazing. We have also added a downloadable mailorder form to the mailorder section of the catalog. Please start downloading this and fill it out for all mailorders. It will make all of our lives a shitload easier. thanks

BRACED FOR NAILS signs to DEEPSEND!!! 06.08.04

We are proud to announce the signing of Texas' dark death metal powerhouse BRACED FOR NAILS for the release of their debut record, 'Icons Above All Others.' This dark legion of hate and despair, have created a fury which melds the dark aura of Immolation with the anti-Christian ideals of Marduk. Although not black metal by trade, their antics will appeal to black, death and cult metalheads alike. Atmospheric elements including the use of occasional keyboard passages evoke the damnation that BFN are becoming so known for. With shows already with Suffocation, Dying Fetus, Exhumed, and plans for national touring this fall, BRACED FOR NAILS is a name that will not only be heard but will be dealt with physically and mentally. Prepare yourself this fall for 'Icons Above All Others.' For more information about upcoming shows and to download songs from their demo, please visit the band's official website: www.bracedfornails.com

Deepsend got burned! 02.27.04

So, are site was hacked last weekend. I hope whomever did is feeling mighty proud of themselves right about now. And yes, we don't have a backup of the database that included the online store or past news articles etc. So, we are forced to manually re-enter all the store items one at a time. This will most likely take about 2-3 weeks. Please bear with us in this time of frustration. We will do our best to get the hot items up in the store first. Buy our records, make us feel like all this work is not for nothing. This sucks.
