OMEN Recordings presents the debut release from Georgian producer BOYD SCHIDT - a compelling and emotionally charged three-track EP, featuring powerful remixes by label heads AXKAN and DUELLIST.

The EP opens with the title track, 'Spiritual Numbness,' where Boyd turns inward to capture the mood of late-night afterhours. Hypnotic rhythms merge with melancholic undertones, grounded by deep basslines and drifting, immersive atmospheres. It's techno built for moments when time fades and the lights stay low.

'Dance of the Dragons' follows with an energetic yet uplifting vibe, blending soaring synths with a subtle progressive edge. The result is a modern techno ritual-weighty enough for the dancefloor, yet full of luminous, transcendent moments.

On 'Zeillos.' featuring Tasime, Boyd explores more spectral territory. A minimalist structure underpins ghostly vocal textures that slither and swell like smoke in the dark. The track stands out for its genre-defying feel and emotional depth.

AXKAN delivers a remix of 'Dance of the Dragons' with his signature industrial power-layering tension, kinetic energy, and sharp pulses that echo his work on the Embedded series. The result is intense and explosive.

DUELLIST offers a raw rework of 'Spiritual Numbness,' stripping it down and rebuilding it with mechanical precision. The remix is leaner, harsher, and infused with visceral force.

This release journeys through elevation, introspection, and brutalism-unified by refined sound design and diverse emotional landscapes.

OMEN056 - BOYD SCHIDT - Spiritual Numbess

The Rituals series rises again — a fresh strike carved deep into black wax. RITUAL12 summons an international assembly of techno insurgents from the OMEN roster, each delivering their own sonic rite. Across two sides, the intent is absolute: raw, unfiltered power pulled from the shadows and unleashed on the dancefloor.

[SIDE A]
SWARM INTELLIGENCE – Inexorable
Berlin’s Swarm Intelligence ignites the record with precision-tooled percussion and fractured basslines. Polyrhythmic tension winds tighter with every measure, industrial grit locking into a cybernetic march toward total hypnosis.

B.A.R.K – Shikijitsu
A bone-rattling invocation of distorted low-end and ceremonial drums. B.A.R.K drives forward like ancient machinery grinding to life, a Japanese primal energy sharpened to a deadly edge.

AXKAN & DUELLIST – Resilience
Mexico meets Scotland for a brutalist assault: hammering kicks, serrated synth textures, and walls of analogue saturation. No safe passage here — only forward momentum into the heart of chaos.

[SIDE B]
EAS – Honored One
From Los Angeles, EAS delivers a tense, ritualistic construction where a subterranean EBM bassline pulses through metallic drones. Hypnotic, uneasy, and charged with controlled dissonance.

HATELOVE & OGMAH – Hanged Bodies
A dark ceremonial groove heavy with ritual percussion and spectral synth chants. The layers rise to a fever pitch, blurring the line between transcendence and collapse.

CRYSTAL GEOMETRY + AXKAN – Kratom
France’s Crystal Geometry joins AXKAN for a militaristic strike of modular chaos and pummeling drums. EBM-infused basslines drive beneath razor-sharp synth fire, rallying the midnight faithful to the front lines.

RITUAL12 is not a compilation — it’s a convocation. Forged in analogue heat, drenched in distortion, and aimed directly at the heart of the floor, this record demands full surrender. Step in. There is no turning back.

OMEN Recordings proudly announces the release of Ceremony, the second EP on the label from Japanese techno artist B.A.R.K. Known for his ritualistic, atmospheric, and percussive approach, B.A.R.K. delivers four original tracks that channel relentless momentum and immersive intensity—hallmarks of the OMEN sound and a continuation of his evolving vision within the label’s catalog. Each piece is carefully constructed, weaving hypnotic rhythms with layered textures that evoke both primal energy and cinematic tension.

To further expand the sonic landscape, the project is rounded out by three remixes from international artists, each offering a unique interpretation of B.A.R.K.’s work:

ZNTHIIA makes a striking OMEN debut with a dense, cinematic rework that heightens the release’s brooding aesthetic and pushes its dark energy into new territory.

s t e v a n delivers a fierce, deep-dark reimagining—part hypnotic late-night weapon, part unsettling introduction—designed to blur the line between tension and release.

AXKAN (Los Angeles) contributes a powerful industrial reinterpretation, amplifying the ghostly chants of the original and reshaping them into a peak-time tool of raw impact.

With its blend of original works and bold reimagining, Ceremony stands as a commanding release that underscores OMEN Recordings’ reputation for uncompromising techno crafted for the underground dance floor.

This installment marks the debut of five artists whose distinct sonic identities expand the imprint's evolving landscape.

ANODE NOIZE opens the record with 'A Thousand Cuts', a fractured, distortion-laden descent where glitching patterns and fragmented vocals generate a hypnotic sense of pressure. Momentum builds with 'Moving in Time' from BRAD LEE & TAKESHI SATO, a sonar-deep, machine-driven pulse that moves with relentless gravitational force.

CIA REBECK introduces 'Ser', a minimal and spatially precise construction that simmers with restraint, tension humming beneath each meticulously placed element. The atmosphere erupts with FORBBIDEN SOCIETY 's 'Red Room 4', propelled by thunderous low-end and razor-sharp percussion that cuts straight through the haze.

KHOR follows with 'Invocatio Initium', a driving invocation that binds the release together in a surge of power, initiation, and release.

Closing the chapter, TOMASH GEE + HELLBOY deliver their collaboration 'Slavex Twin', a relentless industrial assault crafted to shake dancefloors worldwide.

OMEN Recordings presents 'Chronicles of Conflict,' a new joint EP by AXKAN and DUELLIST. This release celebrates the label's 50th release and highlights the collaboration between the two artists, responding to the chaos of global conflicts. 'Chronicles of Conflict' includes four tracks that combine industrial and EBM influences, offering a fresh take on the industrial sound while maintaining high intensity and quality.

A1 - Oxidative Stress: A track that reflects the psychological strain of war, building in intensity.  
A2 - Stains of Time: An exploration of the lasting effects of war, evoking loss and the memories of past battles.

B1 - Warfare: A track combining EBM and industrial sounds, capturing the chaos and intensity of combat.  
B2 - Thermobaric: A track with offbeat rhythms that mirrors the unpredictable and destructive nature of modern conflict.

'Chronicles of Conflict' is more than just an EP; it's a sonic exploration of war, collaboration, and resilience. AXKAN and DUELLIST's partnership shines through, taking industrial techno in new directions.

The EP is available in both vinyl and digital formats. It is a must-have for fans of industrial and EBM music.

A2 - DUELLIST - Stains of Time

This volume gathers voices from Georgia, Norway, Russia, the UK, Italy, and the USA a lineup built not only on geographical spread but also on a deeper commitment to diversity across race and gender.

What unites them is a shared understanding of techno as a vehicle for tension, defiance, and catharsis. § (Section) sets the tone with 'Distorted Soul', a washed out, atmospheric descent into distortion and decay, where every layer sounds like it's been dragged through ash. ERASE (NOR) follows with 'Repentance', a thumping body track built to punish and uplift in equal measure pure hardware muscle and forward drive.

KLEPERIS delivers 'Applause', a tribal, offbeat, and unbalanced, it moves like a ritual with no clear end, its grooves both jagged and hypnotic. NEW FLESH tears through the haze with 'Bloody Minded' raw edged, aggressive, and soaked in punk energy. It's the sound of someone choosing noise over silence every time.

'The 9th Sin' by NOT SO HEAVY is a gritty, heavy-grained cut filled with smudged textures and low-end pressure, it grinds forward like a corrupted engine. PLURAL closes the VA with 'What Say You', a tightly wound lo-fi piece of driving discord, where looping tension builds toward a sense of beautiful collapse.

RITUALS11 is a sharpened document of where techno stands right now, not polished, not safe, but alive and unfiltered.
