We're thrilled to announce coloured hoodies particularly in this unique blue colour. Normally it's black or white but this is something you don't see very often. As always, our hoodies come with high quality metal zippers and this time around we'll be pre-washing them all so that these 100% cotton hoodies don't shrink much after wash. There's the pocket sized Transcending Obscurity logo in the front, huge skull prints on both the sleeves and finally the main album artwork on the back by Mark Riddick. Very few of these will be made. Get one while you can!

For the first time we're making coloured merch for our label sampler. We wanted a unique colour, something we've never made before, and that's why we opted for blue, which also looks great and does complete justice to the trademark artwork by Mark Riddick. We will be getting these T-shirts custom-made to get the colour we want and we will be using the finest quality cotton for the same. Not too many of these will be made so you might want to hurry before it all gets sold out permanently.

For the first time we're making flags for one of our label sampler artworks. We've used a soft, silky kind of material for this one and the size will be around 30" x 30". Who doesn't want a giant epic Mark Riddick artwork adoring their walls? This is something special.

For the first time ever, we're introducing coffee mugs and it so happens that the timing coincided with the release of this sampler, so why not? This one has a 8" long all over print stretching from side to side, printed on white mugs. It's not the worst thing to look at every morning.
We've been doing this for a few years now and it seems finally our label is developing an identity. Several of the known label bands have returned to contribute brand new songs from their upcoming releases while new signings have been minimal. It seems that's the way to go but we're incredibly proud of what we've achieved so far and to have amassed an interesting roster of bands from all the styles as always. Like last time, we've segregated the songs genre-wise as you can see below -
Tracks 1-16 - death metal/grind/crust
Tracks 17-20 - technical/brutal death metal
Tracks 21-25 - black metal
Tracks 26-28 - doom/sludge metal

We've enlisted the services of none other than Mark Riddick for the label sampler artwork and he's done a stellar job with it, as always, keeping some of the Indian elements in mind because no matter who we work with, we're aware of our roots. He has also designed our label logo the same way, in line with our local language and script.
For the first time where our label samplers go, we're making coloured merch of not one but two prints, which will perhaps set the tone for the kind of merch we'll end up making this year for the rest of the releases in some way.
We can't thank you all enough for your support over the years and allowing us to reach where we are presently, and of course to the bands that have entrusted us with their music.
Established in 2005, with over 15 years of experience in promoting music from all over, we are trying our best to work with
some of the best bands possible. Please check some of them out with an open mind and feel free to support whatever you like! Thanks!...more

One of the finest Death Metal releases to grace my speakers this year.
The music is evocative of Death but with vocals that pack the same gritty punch as those of John Tardy (Obituary).
That being said, this band isn't just nostalgia bait. Live Burial take their influences and makes something of their own with it.
Many Old School revivalists should be taking notes! Mortem
