Label Description: Aduanten, the melodic death metal project featuring members of Obsequiae, Vex, Panopticon, and Horrendous, unleashes its full power on the new album, ‘Apocryphal Verse.’ Combining ferocious, intricate riffs with a profound sense of sorrow and hopelessness, Aduanten crafts a sound that is both aggressive and beautifully melancholic. This is melodic death metal at its most potent and atmospheric. As a bonus, all CD and vinyl purchases will also include the band’s acclaimed debut EP, ‘Sullen Cadence,’ as bonus tracks. For fans of Dissection, Eucharist, Sacramentum, and Obsequiae.
A group of space-faring scavengers are navigating a remote region of the galaxy when the ship’s sensors alert them to an unidentified object looming in the distance.
“Sensors detect a massive freighter up ahead. Looks like it was powered down and abandoned out here. Its callsign is coming through as “Tartarus,” but there’s no other data available (manifest, origin, destination). I’m sure we could salvage some useful scrap from it—let’s dock and check it out.”
Although the ghost ship appears to be empty, the crew quickly discovers that they’re not alone…and a simple salvage mission becomes a desperate fight for survival.
Inspired by media like Dead Space and Alien, Tartarus is an atmospheric and immersive dark ambient, sci-fi horror/suspense experience.
Several pieces from this album previously appeared in other contexts: – “Promise & Peril” and “Insomnia” were released as singles in early 2023. At the time, I had no plans to use them on anything else, but as Tartarus started to take shape, I realized both of these tracks were perfect for it. – “No One Is Going To Save Us” previously appeared on the “Passed Away” compilation, from Passed Recordings, in 2022 (passedrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/passed-away-2) – “Entropy” previously appeared on “Heavy for the Hollers” a compilation benefiting hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina following Hurricane Helene (liminaldreadproductions.bandcamp.com/album/heavy-for-the-hollers)
I dedicate this one to everyone who’s living hellish times at the moment and can’t do much about it because of the higher powers ruling upon them or the system pushing them. To the depressed, to the suicidal, to all who struggle to find correspondence in this world. You’re not alone. Enjoy the hell ride!

This is a soundtrack to the short film about the very strange case of a French woman in the 19th-century known only as Mme X…
“DR. JULES COTARD had to be surprised and confused by the female patient (known only as brought to his office at the Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital in Paris one afternoon in 1882. The 43-year-old described a peculiar set of symptoms: she claimed she had “no brain, no nerves, no chest, no stomach, no bowels — that there was nothing left of her but the skin and bones. Also, she claimed she had no soul, that there was no God and no devil, and that overall she was nothing but ‘a disorganized body’ with no internal organs and because of that she claimed to not need to eat anymore. Further, she expressed her belief in her own immortality, noting that she could not die a natural death, but ‘will live forever unless she is burnt, fire being her only possible end.’ Sadly she starved herself to death…”
This soundtrack, beyond the story of Mme X is also influenced by other 19th-century eccentrics (and brilliant artists) of her time such as Marcel Proust and Erik Satie. credits released October 5, 2025
