WereGnome Records

This Saturday I’m celebrating a mile stone birthday & I don’t want to think about it.

However, we are launching a big old sale to help free up some shelf space in preparation for our glorious return.

$5 tapes
$10 vinyl
$15 mystery 4-pack tape grab bag

Also adding some distro from Fiadh & a few pieces of vinyl from Elyvilon (these are both regular price)

It starts when I wake up so prepare yourself.

Thank you always for the support, it means the world to us gnomes.

As some or many of you may know, the WereGnomes are taking a short break over the summer to relax.

For the past 4 years we have spent nearly every waking moment (outside of work) on the label. So we needed a little breather.

This Saturday however, we will be having a big sale and it’ll last for an unspecified amount of time. WereGnome tapes will be cheap, vinyl marked down & some distro will be marked down as well.

Just trying to clean some shelf space and set aside funds for the coming months as we refocus & work towards taking weregnome into the future.

So thank you as always for the support. This community and the artists have shown us nothing but kindness.

This Saturday.

Celebrate a milestone bday for Nicholas & also come peruse our wares on our biggest sale of the year.

Also we will be adding some distro from Fiadh & Elyvilon vinyl.

Sale starts when I wake up.

As the new leader of the dungeon synth syndicate, I demand tithes be paid monthly if you run a tape label.

I don’t make the rules, but simply enforce them with an army of gnomes.

Wonderful review up for the new glyph album out tomorrow in full! With a few tapes left in preorder on our bandcamp right now!

Our editor has found the new album by the mysterious U.S. black metal entity GLYPH "a stunning example of how the rendering of emotional damage can become magnificent, and ultimately a way of refusing to yield to the worst of what may come." Sweeping in its scale, towering in its power, musically elaborate and rhythmically dynamic in its construction, it's a stunning portrayal of inner and outer catastrophe, but with a triumphant finale. Find the full review and our premiere stream of the album via the comment link below. It will be released tomorrow by SHAPE OF STORMS RECORDS, WereGnome Records, Fiadh Productions, and Snow Wolf Records.
