👁 It's the only genre that takes certain things seriously enough to look at them directly. That's not a small thing.
Dark Descent was built around that quality. Every story is under 500 words — atmospheric short fiction that earns its dread and doesn't let go in a hurry. A new issue on the 15th of every month.

Out May 1 - Pig's Blood “Destroying The Spirit” LP / CD from Dark Descent Records.

Bestial death horde Pig's Blood are going scorched earth with their inaugural release under the Dark Descent Records banner. Destroying The Spirit sees the band reach a new level of relentless, blackened brutality. An unholy barrage of volcanic riffing and abyssal hostility, Destroying The Spirit is violence incarnate.
