Dark Odyssey Records
First time ever I get to introduce a new label on Kalteldur. Dark Oddessey Records is a new label with their first upcoming release. Dark Oddessey Records hails from Toronto, Ontario, and has its primal focus on high-quality dark ambient music. The label will also deliver classic re-issues in the genre as well. Will be looking forward (and being very curious) to what sort of re-issues they will be doing (CMI, Slaughter Productions etc, etc.?).
The headmaster of the label is Devin Sabatini, who has also been active in a duo group called DEV-I-ANT (together with Anthony Prudo). With decent guidance from Tomas Pettersson (Archon Satani, Ordo Equilibrio) they managed to get releases on Reverse Alignment and Rabbau, which are pretty cool labels (to start with) if you ask me! Their releases were mastered by Tomas Pettersson, Simon Heath (Cryo Chamber), and Jouni Haukainen himself (In Slaughter Natives).
Besides their focus on dark ambient music, the label will also be doing re-issues & releases with other genres as well! Death-industrial, neoclassic dark-wave, experimental, neo-folk, and even dungeon-synth! About time someone did some decent dungeon-synth re-issues if you ask me!
Their first (and upcoming) release is with an Italian act called Chaigidel. This album is also a re-issue, which was first released on a label from Brazil called Nailed Nazarene Industries. It was released back then, by digital means (Bandcamp) and out on CD as well. The CD version is quite hard to find, not a single copy for sale on Discogs, etc. So a good re-issue should be in order! It will be a limited cassette release, with some cool and nice designs attached to it. You can pre-order it right now, and you can listen to some of it on the label´s Bandcamp site (link below!). The release is being recommended for fans of death-industrial!
So, It´s always a good thing for something 2 look forward to. Kalteldur readers should also be expecting a review of the upcoming release as well. We wish ½all the best for the birth of Dark Oddessey Records! Blessed be.
