Monday, August 30, 2010:

We have a large number of new arrivals here, including a shipment from Malignant Records which includes the new Yen Pox "Blood Music" 2CD (in A5 digipak)! We also have the new Asbaar album (released on Black Drone) - the side project of Eldar (released on Cold Meat Industry and others)!! There are all kinds of goodies here, but we admit that we're having a hell of a time getting it all cataloged. And more just keeps rolling in!

Melek-Tha's "Left Hand Path" (2CD) box set edition has also arrived, if you can believe it! We only have a few copies and the box set is not cheap. Melek-Tha had an artist sculpt an original Baphomet image, with "Melek-Tha" written on it, and it then had to be cast in a mold for inclusion on the top of the wooden box set. So, lots of time and money went into this.

Want something for very little money? All 6 First Fallen Star releases are up on eBay right now with starting bids of just $0.01 each!!

That's a steal! Well, not literally. Downloading would be stealing. (Ever notice that all of the download links on the internet for FFS releases are DEAD, and even the torrent links are disappearing? We don't f**k around. Don't steal the music!)


Monday, August 23, 2010:

We finally received one of the packages from Infinite Fog Productions (Russia), containing the incoming Velehentor releases. The package was inside the United States as of July 4, and took more than 6 weeks to be delivered. (Thank you, Homeland Security.) Those releases are not available for sale yet, but they will be soon.

We have added the following items to the Coming Soon page. They have not been cataloged yet, but won't arrive for a few weeks anyway. All of these items are dark ambient / experimental, with the exception of the Skepticism CDs (funeral metal / doom metal) and the releases from Databloem, which are all ambient/glitch/electronica. (In other words, the CDs from Databloem are on the lighter side of things, but no less enjoyable!)

We are hoping to bring in many more items before the end of the year, but that depends on the record labels we are in contact with. Wherever trading for First Fallen Star releases is possible, we are able to offer customers much more reasonable, somewhat "domestic" prices on import CDs - and we do indeed strive to offer such prices!

Thursday, August 5, 2010:

The following items are now available for sale! Please note that the disc factory shipped out Secret Druid Society's "Restless" today, and we will begin shipping out the album to customers, magazines, radio stations, other shops and labels toward the end of next week. If your order includes the SDS album, we will hold the entire order until next week. Mystified's album is in stock right now and available to ship immediately! Despite the fact that this very prolific artist has had numerous short and mid-length releases on just as many labels worldwide, "Passing Through the Outer Gates" is a completely different kind of release. This is a full-length album with a cohesive sound and theme, as well as outstanding packaging! (For those of you who do not believe it, please see the photos of the album included in this news entry below!) "Passing Through..." is Volume 1 in the Eulogy Series on First Fallen Star!

First Fallen Star (USA)
        MYSTIFIED: Passing Through the Outer Gates (ltd.500, Eulogy Series Vol.1)
        SECRET DRUID SOCIETY: Restless (ltd.500)

Glacial Movements
        BVDUB: The Art of Dying Alone

True to their word, Glacial Movements has replaced the damaged merchandise we initially received, and so we are now able to offer you bvdub's "The Art of Dying Alone" at the very economical price of $13.99! (Damaged copies of this album and Francisco Lopez's "Amarok" will NOT be sold through the catalog, so please do not be afraid to purchase them. The damaged copies will likely be disposed of, as there is nothing else to do with them.) This remains the last release from Glacial Movements that we will stock, as we will no longer be working together. We appreciate how quickly damaged merchandise was replaced, but issues with packaging of merchandise remain unresolved.

In line with issues and arguments over packaging and damaged merchandise (received from other record labels), today, we took inventory of all of our packaging supplies ... and photographed an enormous pile of it! Photos and a list of supplies will be published in our next newsletter, as well as the shipping pages of the DMD and FFS sites when time allows. Most of you are already familiar with our packaging methods, and remain quite satisfied! For everyone else, a point remains to be made regarding the difference between shops and labels who are sincerely concerned about customer service and those who continue to toss merchandise into anything they can find laying around the house, which usually amounts to garbage that is laden with the scent of either incense or cigarette smoke. For every 1 person who is shocked by our comments, 10 are replying with praise for the care taken in packaging their DMD/FFS orders or horror stories stemming from bad experiences with other shops and labels.

 


Tuesday, July 27, 2010:

Mystified's "Passing Through the Outer Gates" (Eulogy Series, Vol.1; ltd.500) is due to arrive here from the factory on Thursday (7/29)! Secret Druid Society's "Restless" (ltd.500) has been delayed just a bit, but may very well be available next week. Therefore, we have made both albums available for purchase as of today! They can be purchased directly from the "Releases" page at www.FirstFallenStar.com or through www.DarkMusicDomain.com.

If your order includes only Mystified's album, it will be shipped to you this week.

If your order includes both albums, we will wait to ship until next week.

As of right now, these 2 albums will be sent to just shy of 50 different magazines, ezines, review sites, radio stations, and hosts of streaming audio/podcasts - including the Live365.com program hosted by Herleif Langas (Northaunt), called "The Last Bleak Days." That list of recipients will grow as we receive replies from organizations we have contacted. If you know of a site or station that could put FFS releases to good use with a review or airplay, please feel free to contact us at info@FirstFallenStar.com and send us the link!

In other news, we received a shipment from Glacial Movements that included Francisco Lopez's "Amarok" (restock) and BVDUB's "The Art of Dying Alone" (new release), but we have been delayed in cataloging BVDUB's album due to label activities at First Fallen Star and the fact that the shipment from GM arrived damaged. They have been gracious enough to offer to replace the merchandise, but tension over the incident resulted in the decision that Dark Music Domain and Glacial Movements will not work together in the future. Please visit Malignant Records (USA) for all future releases from Glacial Movements.

 


Thursday, July 8, 2010:

Catalog entries for Mystified's "Passing Through the Outer Gates" (Eulogy Series, Vol.1; ltd.500) and Secret Druid Society's "Restless" (ltd.500) have been updated with full album descriptions and details. Release dates set as July 31, but the albums will ideally be shipped out prior to the release date. (Yes, the release date is on a Saturday because let's be realistic: there isn't anything mainstream about any of this, now is there?!) If you want to hear music from the albums, song clips are pre-loaded in embedded audio players on the "Releases" page of the First Fallen Star site: http://www.FirstFallenStar.com. Under the listing for Mystified (on the FFS site), you will find that the primary image is the album "cover" artwork, but the additional image linked in the listing will show you what the actual front panel of the DVDigipak looks like (with coffin-shaped die-cut hole).

Catalog update coming this week!

There are 43 items up for auction on eBay right now, with less than 4 days left in the bidding. With the exception of 4 dark electro/industrial albums and 2 trance albums, all of the rest of the items are brand new items (not used) straight out of the DMD catalog with starting bids almost entirely $0.99 or $4.99! Included are all 4 albums released on First Fallen Star, and numerous albums released on Glacial Movements and Cold Meat Industry. You'll also find a new and still sealed (yes, Essence Music sealed them) box set version of Nordvargr's "In Oceans..."! There are also copies of Velehentor's "Dyatlov Pass" (3CD), Arcana's "The First Era" (4CD), Visions' "Summoning the Void," Raison D'Etre's "The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice," and Atrium Carceri's "Phrenitis"!

Mystified's "Passing Through the Outer Gates" (Eulogy Series Vol.1, ltd.500) and Secret Druid Society's "Restless" (ltd.500) albums - due out on First Fallen Star in July - are at the factory right now, so we need to make some room! Even if you're not the winning bidder, we will probably be issuing some Second Chance Offers after the auctions end, so check them out before they end!!

Friday, May 28, 2010:

The following items are now available for sale! We have also updated the Coming Soon page with a variety of releases, including new ones from Nordvargr / Surachai, Drakh, and Nadja!

Cyclic Law (Canada)
        VISIONS: Summoning the Void (ltd.1000)

Friday, May 14, 2010:

The following items are now available for sale! And the Coming Soon page has been updated!

        ARCANA: The First Era 1996-2002 (4CD box set, ltd.2000) *
        LITHIA SPECTRE / .SCARlet. / MENTALNY KOLAPS: Black Aura (3-way split, ltd.40)
        LUASA RAELON: Season of the Witch
        LUASA RAELON: The House of Flesh
        LUASA RAELON: Vampyr: Light of the Beast (ltd.500)

* Additional postage required. Please see item details for more information.

The albums by Visions (on Cyclic Law) and VoidWork (on Black Drone) should be arriving very soon! Unfortunately, after 10 weeks of waiting, the shipment from the Zoharum label (albums by Ab Intra, Bisclaveret, Hoarfrost, etc.) still has not arrived. Despite an extensive cultural history both rich and varied, Europe as a whole has failed to offer even mediocre postal services. Parcels from us arrive in Europe in just a few weeks, at most. But parcels mailed from Europe take 4, 5, 6 weeks, then 2 months, and finally 3 months before they arrive destroyed. Parcels from Asia, Australia, South America? No problem! Parcels from Europe? Delayed indefinitely. Unfortunately, folks, that's the update on those items for now. They may never arrive.

Though the albums will not be released by us, we are working with Melek-Tha to have the discs from his "Symphony of Sickness" (ltd.100) and "Via Tenebrae" (2CD, ltd.100) albums professionally produced in a factory here in the USA, while the A5 foldout packaging is printed in France. The result will be domestic prices for customers in North America and, most importantly, a disc error rate of zero! We are aware of problems with previous Melek-Tha CD-Rs, and Lordevil himself has been quick to replace those CD-Rs for customers. Our solution to the problem - for now and into the future - is to have a factory professionally replicate or duplicate those discs so that burn errors don't happen! Please note that we did NOT produce any of Melek-Tha's albums, but we DO put customers in touch with Melek-Tha so that replacements for defective discs can be obtained quickly!

Out on First Fallen Star, Mystified's "Passing Through the Outer Gates" (Euology Series Vol.1, ltd.500) and Secret Druid Society's "Restless" (ltd.500) should be released in June, if there are no more delays. Music mastering for both albums is complete. Artwork, however, is still in progress. We had to switch graphic artists. Aside from some original photography and artwork by other individuals, Eclipse Media will now be responsible for artwork and layout of the Mystified and Secret Druid Society albums, as well as Melek-Tha's "H.P. Lovecraft, Volumes 1-6" set! The box set is still planned as a resin cast of an original sculpture by artist Corinne Crowe. Sculpting takes time. The release date will be sometime in 2011, and we are not yet ready to take any form of pre-orders.


Tuesday, April 13, 2010:

The following items are now available for sale! (This is a combination of items available as of April 10 as well as today!)

We have just 3 copies left of Volumes 1--3 (sold together), and just 1 copy of Volume 5!! Bidding begins at just $0.99! Also available are a couple of copies of Innfallen's "Three Days of Darkness" that had 1 or 2 broken pins in the tray hub, which prevents us from selling the items as new / mint condition.

The "Coming Soon" page has been updated just a bit with some releases from ConSouling Sounds (Simulacra CD), GreyTone (Phragments & Korinth CD, etc.), and Infinite Fog Productions, which means, YES, we are getting a restock of Velehentor's "Dyatlov Pass" (3CD, ltd.493), which sold out from us almost immediately after the newsletter announcing it was issued. We think we ordered enough copies this time, but we shall see.

We have received a shipment from Cold Meat Industry, and a partial shipment (one of two) from Plague Recordings, so there's going to be a catalog update and a newsletter soon! Set some money aside now, just in case.

We have not yet updated the Coming Soon page or the catalog itself, but we should have some fresh merchandise arriving in the next few weeks - and at good prices!

We apologize for the lack of updates, but we've been very busy with organizing the next few releases on the First Fallen Star label. Mystified kicks off our Eulogy Series with "Passing Through the Outer Gates," a very mature and deeply personal album that blurs the lines between ambient, experimental, and neo-classical. Not long after, we should be releasing a full-length dark ambient album from up-and-comer Secret Druid Society titled "Restless." And the proverbial cat is out of the godd*mn bag ...

... We're not just releasing Volumes 4 & 6 in Melek-Tha's "H.P. Lovecraft" series... First Fallen Star is releasing the entire series, Volumes 1-6, all 12 CDs, all at once, all together! The standard format will be a 12-disc DVD case, with 16-page booklet, limited to 300 copies (including all copies from the standard and box set editions). The artwork will be completely different from what was produced for the handmade editions of Volumes 1-3 & 5, but we're not ready to divulge any details just yet! There will be a super-limited BOX SET edition that will include 2 bonus CDs, but because we were bored to death with boxes made out of paper, boxes made out of wood, and boxes made out of metal, we decided to hire an artist to sculpt a box set for us, and then cast copies in resin! But we're not giving you any details on that either. Not yet!

We decided to release the entire series as a whole for several reasons, not all of which we're bothering to list here. We didn't want Volumes 4 & 6 (previously unreleased) to stick out from the others if they were released in digipaks, in different quantities than the other volumes were limited to. And whereas the music has not previously been mastered at all, it now will be - all of it. With mastered music and all new artwork, the series is being reborn as a whole. (Incidentally, Volume 2 will now feature Silcharde's "Hate" - a track that did not originally appear on that volume.) And the box set? Well, we wanted an excuse to release a box set format, and we needed the whole series for that. Like we said, we're not giving any details on the box set just yet, but we do encourage you to go to www.FirstFallenStar.com, click on Contact, and then subscribe to that newsletter. We will be taking pre-orders on the box set before it is released! (We will, of course, make sure that there are photographs and full details provided to you before taking pre-orders.) There may or may not be a choice involved in the color of the box set you receive, so you need to stay "in the loop" with us on this project if you are serious about making the purchase. That's why you need to subscribe to the First Fallen Star newsletter as well.

Release date is undetermined!
