A modern journey across the syncretic pantheon.

Strung together in a biblical, capricious structure, Revelations of the Mother Harlot reworks the themes of divinity, eternal renovation, and personal accountability through the optics of a decaying, technoistic society that’s fixed in its old destructive ways. It explores the mysteries embedded within Nature: our one true Mother, giver, and taker of all life.

Curated with quotes, metaphors, personal insights, and allegories, ROTMH aids its convoluted telling by recurring archetypal figures who provide landmarks across this death/rebirth narrative terrain.

In an attempt to revise the religious vestiges lurking inside my own source code, the Roman Catholic Church’s main influence was excreted throughout the whole aesthetic, themes, sonorities, and language employed. As a result, its bittersweet ambiance filled the air with visions of sickness, fear, hope, horror, ecstasy, longing, and despair, serving not only as a way to sublimate such complex states of mind but also as a call for self-examination, growth, and evolution.

The divine feminine awakens: One new race is finally born!

Artist: Infidus Title: Endless Greed Catalog no.: 21.0038 Format: Digipak CD Digital Download Release date: 22.04.2022 Genre: Progressive Metal, Grunge Country: Norway BUY: Buy physical editions   Buy digital download

Endless greed – the pitfall of humanity? Once, a necessity for survival and a primal trait coded into our genes. Today, it seems more like a toxic trait for humanity as a whole. Something ugly that must be curbed and hidden in the closet. A trait that feeds into the tragedy of commons.

Infidus – the Norwegian/Swedish 5-piece – captures some dark messages with their debut album Endless Greed. However, the musical landscape is diverse with heavy riff passages and catchy melody lines, and you will find a bold blend of classic rock and modern progressive metal.

The album consists of 7 songs that will wake you up through a powerful vocal backed by tight and groovy riff sections. "The animal" behind the drums manages the art of combining both groove and some intricate odd beats and polyrhythms.

Endless Greed is a delicious meat bone – hard and tasty.

Produced by Infidus.
Mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman, Gothenburg (In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates, Bring me the Horizon, Dream Evil).
Album Artwork by Ella A Rogne.

Infidus was conceived in a cold and musty basement in Oslo, Norway. The band consisted of four guys – two on guitar/vocals (Øyvind Hetland / Kenneth Andresen), a drummer (Trond Lund), and a bass player (Øyvind Østensen). A few years in, the former vocalist of Aggressive Chill joined the team – (Mikael Willy Wilhelmsson) from Strömstad in Sweden and made the band complete.

Everyone in Infidus has been playing music most of their lives, exploring different genres with different bands, before finally finding the tone together. Their inspiration comes from bands like Tool, Soundgarden, Metallica, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Periphery, and many more. The result is a bold blend of hard rock and metal.

Check this link on how to listen by your favorite method.

We're not releasing only 1 album today, but 4 albums at once. One from Octohawk and three from Ask the Slave. And to top it all you could get all 3 albums from Ask the Slave in a box-set.

Octohawk releases their debut album, Animist. An album filled with 10 songs full of sludgy, proggy, and groovy heavy metal.

From Ask the Slave you will get their brand new progressive metal with WTF!?-factor album God Things Bad People. Also available now are the re-releases of their two first albums Kiss Your Chora (Remixed & Remastered) and The Order of Things (Remastered). Both containing bonus tracks.

All albums are available as Digipak CDs, Digital Downloads, and streaming on all major streaming services.

It is with a heavy heart (no pun intended), we have to announce yet again postponements for some of our projects.

All postponements are once again due to production problems at the production facilities related to the Covid19-pandemic.

We are as sick and tired of this virus and the problem it causes as any of you. But the health of the production staff is and will always be the main focus.
That said, we have also taken necessary measures to avoid this ever happening again for upcoming future projects.

The postponements apply to these two projects:

Marius Danielsen's Legend of Valley Doom  - Part 3 - Gatefold Double LP

Unfortunately, the LPs have been delayed. We hoped to have them ready for the release date, but due to both a problem with the test press that set us back a few weeks and the extended production time due to the Covid19-pandemic, it was unfortunately impossible. At the moment, we don't have an exact date for delivery, but we will update you as soon as we know. We will compensate the ones affected by this with a code for a digital download of the album. The code will be sent to you on the day of the release. The CD orders will start shipping by the end of this week.

Clive Nolan - Song of the Wildlands

We are sorry to announce that the whole release will be postponed. This is due to extended production times for both the CD Earbook and the two editions of the Gatefold Double LP. In co-operation with We Låve Rock Music and Clive Nolan, we have decided on a new release date set for September 1st. The reason for such a lengthy postponement is mainly to avoid a release date during the summer break and maybe yet another unforeseen delay. The good news is that we will also produce a Digipak CD version of the album due to many requests by you. This will be added to preorder very soon.

We are genuinely sorry for all the inconvenience this causes.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and support of all our artists. We appreciate it.

All the best,

Crime Records
