Ambient project Old Fogotten Lands, has recently signed with Canada's Hypnotic Dirge Records!
HDR owner, Nick Skog commented;
"Hypnotic Dirge Records is pleased to announce that we have added Old Forgotten Lands onto the HDR artist roster! Although we were not activily seeking out any additional projects, we took this great opportunity to sign Old Forgotten Lands after the project and its previous lable affiliate EEE Recordings decided on a mutal agreement to go separate ways. I also want to point out the fact that there are no problems between the project and its previous lable, and they are still go good terms. You can read the official statement from Elan O'Neal by going to the newly created OLD FORGOTTEN LANDS ARTIST BLOG. For those of you who have not heard of this project before, and want to get a little bit of background on the project, or view a brand new video update from Elan O'Neal concerning the project's new lable, new instruments, and new direction, you can go to the OLD FORGOTTEN LANDS ARTIST PROFILE on the HDR website.
"Of course, most of you will know that Hypnotic Dirge Records, and Old Forgotten Lands has worked together in the past in the release of the Old Forgotten Lands/Ancient Tundra - Equinox Split Album.
"I look forward to what the future holds for this lable! Although releases have come in a slower pace over the past few months, it is really the calm before the storm. As long as we get the neccesary funding from sales, we have plans to release new albums with brand new material from Exiled From Light, Neige et Noirceur, Astral Luminous, The Foetal Mind, and Funeral Fornication as soon as possible!"
Statement from Elan O'Neal;
"The project has much to owe to its previous label affiliate EEE Recordings, as it had grown and cultivated the project for its beginning years, but due to unforeseen circumstances, EEE Recordings and Old Forgotten Lands have been forced to part ways. I must note that it is a mutual agreement, and that E. and I are on good terms, and that I still wish to promote that label as much as possible.
"However, upon closing a chapter in this project's history, a new page must be opened. Upon deciding which label to choose to continue the manifestation of this project, Hypnotic Dirge was a natural first choice. With the collaborative split album release of last year that I did with this label, not only was I extremely satisfied with the end result, but I felt as if the label was responsible and professional.
"The new material you will hear from Old Forgotten Lands will draw very little parallels to that of the first album, and will have more in common with folk and world music than the synthetic sound of the past. With the introduction of new instruments and concepts, it will retain its theme and atmosphere, but will also have a new body.
"The future of this project looks promising..."
