Into The Dragon's Domain
In the centuries long past, the people of the province of Culhaver used to celebrate their successful harvest of the crops by travelling across Yarrowdale moor to the mountains to give thanks to their god who had sent them rain when needed and sunshine to follow the rain. It was on this day of celebration in the mountains, one year long ago, that a fearful dragon appeared, swooping down from the sky and attacking the defenceless gathering villagers. He became known as “Dagmor the Terrible”. Spit…
Spawn Of The Changing Raven
Oh yes! The Japanese fantasy-chiptune maniac in Turbografx-16 and SuperNes style called Black Tiger is back with a new, psychedelic album that will unleash your imagination! One of HDK clandestine (and unpaid) collaborator, the fantasy blast-beat author called Gian Spazz (sic), after smoking a too big spliff, wrote a weird story, full of plot holes, incongruous events and grammatical errors called "Spawn of the Changing Raven". The guy called Black Tiger has obtained the difficult task of writin…
Dunjon Majik
Near a remote village with a not-so-important name lies the entrance to a dungeon, sadly notorious among the local inhabitants. Legend has it that no one has ever come out of it alive.

A Year at the End of Time
Arriving from the island of Cyprus to the HDK catalog is the Mediterranean dungeon-synth of "Idylls of the Last King." The prolific artist continues his tale of suspended narratives, ancient stones, and echoes of bygone splendor. "A Year at the End of Time" comprises ten tracks recounting the fall of empires through the metaphor of the changing seasons, from the frost of winter to the fading of autumn. Included with the cassette is a handy tool for creating the perfect decadent settings for your…
Nameless
Somber, damp, and tactile, the sound emerges slowly—like water timidly seeping through rock, swelling drop by drop into a steady flow: stern drones, buried melodies, and musique concrète chase one another, transforming a sparse landscape into an increasingly dense, unstoppable mass. It is music that smells of rotting leaves, pine needles and wet earth after a storm — of something ancient breathing underground...We were captivated by the sound of this dungeon-synth foray by Blood Resignation; we …
Squarcio nell'Orrore vol. II
Welcome to the second chapter of “Glimpse into Horror,” a journey into the most twisted and bizarre corners of pulp horror. We return to the United States of the early 1950s—the brief but glorious era of horror comics that predated the Comics Code—a frenetic time when newsstands were overrun by walking corpses, vampires, severed heads, mad scientists, and outlandish monsters.Between 1950 and 1954, before the advent of the Comics Code Authority, American horror comics enjoyed a period of extraord…
