Free Stuff!!!!

The FREE items promotion is still in effect. There are still lots of cd’s left so we will keep giving them away with orders as long as we still have them here. A HUGE thanks goes out to all of the folks who have ordered stuff since this was announced. And, in case you forgot, here is how it works…buy $20.00 worth and get ONE free cd (our choosing), buy $40.00 worth and get TWO free cd’s….and so on. As for the cd’s we are giving away, in most cases these are limited quantity releases from obscure labels and about 95% of the titles that we are giving away never even made it into the God is Myth mailorder. So…waht are you waiting for???

New DORMANT album in the works.

Work is well underway on the follow up to last years “Beneath the Mighty Oak” cd. This time around the sound has taken a decidedly more black metal approach but some of the elements of folk and rock / metal still remain. In fact Todd will incorporate the Mandolin this time around to give the sound a much more Pagan / Heathen feel and some guest appearances by Matt Rosin (GODHEADSCOPE, Dead Raven Choir) and Claudio Alcara(Frostmoon Eclipse, stroszek) are going to happen this time around. No word yet as to whether or not the cd will be released on God is Myth Records this time as some other labels (that will remain un-named right now) have expressed interest. In the meantime you can listen to a new, unmastered version of a track called “Cry of the Wolf” which will appear on the album on the bands myspace page HERE.

Lovecraft series news! FROSTMOON ECLIPSE!!!!

Well after some time there is finally some news on the Lovecraft Series.  The sixth installment will be handled by Italian black metal band Frostmoon Eclipse. The materials went to press today so we expect that the mini cd will be released sometime early April (if not earlier!). For the time being please be sure to go to the Lovecraft Series page and check out the artwork / description / mp3 sample!

Procer Veneficus - A Summerhaze Array for August Nights now sold out from us!

The Procer Veneficus - A Summerhaze Array for August Nights double cd boxed set is now sold out from here. We encourage anyone who hasn’t had a chance to pick this up yet to visit our friends over at Ars Magna Recordings. They co-released this gem with God is Myth and they have a rapidly shrinking stock of the box sets. Reminder…these were only limited to 500 copies and they are still going fairly quickly.

And last but not least we expect to have some more exciting news regarding Procer Veneficus soon. Be on the lookout for that…..

Velnias signs with God is Myth Records + upcoming shows

God is Myth Records has signed a deal with Illinois based blackened doom outfit VELNIAS to release their debut album. The bands music can be best described as a combination of sorrowful black metal with a very doomy atmosphere, combined with elements of folk. Although the band definately has their own sound, one could easily give comparisons to bands like OPETH, AGALLOCH, PRIMORDIAL & WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM. No release date has been set yet as the band are currently working on the final mixes and then it will be sent to the God is Myth Records combine for final mastering. In the meantime check out the VELNIAS myspace page for a few samples of tracks that will appear on the cd.

Upcoming shows:

March 23, 2008 @ Ronny’s (Chicago) with Locrian, Winters in Osaka & Druids of Huge

March 30, 2008 @ The Empty Bottle (Chicago) with Nadja

May 3, 2008 @ Ronny’s (Chicago) with Angel Eyes
