The time has come at last. Incendiary Sanctum is officially released today via Hypaethral Records.

Ten years of compositional and technical honing were committed to this vision and we are honored by the response thus far. The future holds myriad possibilities. Thank you to all who have supported us and made this record possible.

We are thrilled to announce that our sophomore album "Incendiary Sanctum" is officially on the horizon, to be released on May 2nd by Hypaethral Records. Cover painting once again by Adam Burke/Nightjar Illustration.

Pre-orders, first single, and a new shirt design, courtesy of Danille Gauvin/Scratched Grave Art, are available now.

The first draft of "Pierced Flesh Catharsis" was written nearly ten years ago. As a band, it has served to ring in a darker, more aggressive side to our writing. Those of you who know us well may have heard it live before.

Joining us on this track are Rob McAllister of Centuries of Decay playing subtle, heavy piano textures, and the inimitable voice of Luke Farndon of Drofnosura as backing vocals to the song's conclusion.

Pre-order "Incendiary Sanctum" and listen to "Pierced Flesh Catharsis" at the link in our bio.

🦉🥀🔪🗡️ May 28, 2026

In collaboration with Bonecrusher, we are very excited to announce our first ever Hypaethral Records Showcase.

Thursday, May 28th, 2026
Hard Luck Bar (772A Dundas St W)
Doors 8pm
$10 adv / $13 at the door (ticket link in bio)

Come out for a night of some of the best local metal that our label has to offer. Whether you are a tried and true local or in from out of town, we guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

Witherer - 8:30pm
Hailing from the cavernous depths below Canada, Witherer brings a blend of death/doom that draws from both funeral doom and black metal. A ritualistic experience for the uninitiated. We released their debut double-LP “Shadow Without a Horizon” in June 2025.

Burnt Knives - 9:15pm
You may recognize them from our first Ontario Metal comp released in 2024. Consider this the official announcement that we will be releasing their sophomore LP some time in 2027. Burnt Knives blend heavy hardcore with old school death metal and deep seated nihilism.

Nepenthe - 10:00pm
We released Nepenthe’s sophomore EP, “The Fading Promise of Tomorrow” at the end of 2024 and the LP quickly sold out. Blending atmospheric black metal, doom, post-metal, and goth rock in a unique way that is equal parts Falls of Rauros and Type O Negative.

A Flock Named Murder - 11:00pm
We released AFNM’s sophomore double-LP “Incendiary Sanctum” in May 2025. An expansive and immersive record merging black metal, post-metal, doom, and death metal.

You can listen to all of these releases on our Bandcamp page (link in bio) or check out any of our 3 label compilations.

The music is the focus of the night but we will also be out with our full distro: records, CDs, tapes, t-shirts and more. Including our collaboration with European labels like Hypnotic Dirge, These Hands Melt, and more! We’ll definitely have some special sales and bundles in store.

Special thanks to Bonecrusher and Hard Luck Bar for helping us make this happen.

Support local metal ⚔️🤘🖤

A night of crushing, atmospheric heaviness from across the Hypaethral Records roster at the Hard Luck Bar — Thursday, May 28, 2026

A Flock Named Murder Chaotic, blackened hardcore blending ferocity with bleak, immersive atmosphere — a relentless wall of tension and catharsis.

Nepenthe Crushing post‑metal steeped in mood, weight, and slow‑burn intensity, pulling you into expansive, textured heaviness.

Burnt Knives Raw, abrasive metallic hardcore with sharp edges and unfiltered urgency — tight, punishing riffs with zero restraint.

Witherer Bleak, atmospheric blackened doom carved from cold, suffocating tension, wrapped in slow, crushing melody.

$10 advance / $13 at the door — 19+
