From the ashes of Slovenia’s finest sludge-punk miscreants Leechfeast emerges a new, eerie project. Forged Relics summon music that gestures towards both the Divine and Heretical, stripping doom down to an austere and minimalist arrangement of drums, vocals and organ, that is rich in understated majesty and devout apostasy.

Mired in censer smoke-laden atmosphere, slow, cascading drums peal out alongside plaintive, regal organ notes as guttural vocals slither and expel into the ether. A sense of looming presence permeates, the ineffable paired with crushing unorthodox heaviness.

Across its 37 minutes, Portal utilises the repetition and ritualism of Doom Metal, Chamber music and Drone. Hinting at the baleful works of Profetus, Abandon and Mournful Congregation and also the stark, ceremonial beauty of Kali Malone and Sarah Davachi.

Mesmerizing and sonorous - beckoning towards something truly ancient.

To listen is to be transported, emerging from the throng and wooden pews, into the light, keenly watching across the haze of Adriatic horizon that is unending. Infinite. Eternal.

- Michael Douglas (The Ansible)

We're kicking off 2025 with another raging 7” in the line of Slovenian powerviolence releases.

Propad's second release “Žrtve Modernega Časa” is an intense 12 minute roller coaster of fuming blastbeats, punishing breaks and occassional heavy slow parts. The record starts off with a sample of news snippets reporting the world's declining state of being and the music that follows comes in as a result of these devestating times we live in.

Extreme times call for extreme music. And extreme it is.

The 7" comes with a riso printed cover and is limited to 225 copies!

Rather be a fuck up is now out through Discos Enfermos and Audioreverse

Orange vinyl limited to 100 copies & 400 copies on black vinyl

This is the first OUST release since I joined the band 2 years ago and also the first release I recorded on

Copies available through the webshop or at upcoming shows!

It's my birthday again, so I wanted to do another giveaway. Same rules apply as last year, with the one tiny difference - this time, two orders will be free instead of one, the 7th and the 11th!

So no matter the amount, no matter the destination and not limited to Rope or Guillotine releases, you can choose whatever you want from the webshop. Only limit is, you cannot order multiple copies of the same record.

You will have to go through the payment and I'll refund the full amount in case you won.

2024 has come to an end. By far the busiest year for Rope or Guillotine

A lot of firsts - first tape release, first flexi release, first benefit release, first compilation

I wanna thank everyone who bought records and/or tapes, supported the label or the bands directly

Planning to keep 2025 a little less busy, although, first 3 releases are already planned and almost ready to be sent to the pressing plant. More news on that soon!

Until then, free Palestine & free Luigi

Thank you!

Green Crack - Flexi 7" is out today!

Excited to finally be able to bring this one out. Had the privilege of seeing them live last december twice and they completely blew my mind. The Slovenian powerviolence scene is on a rise, more than any diy punk adjacent movements ever on those grounds. 

This is also the first Rope or Guillotine flexi release, excited to do more of these in the future!

It is also Bandcamp friday today, so all profits go directly to artists and labels. Any purchase is much appreciated, to help fun the last three releases of this year

Thank you!

Today marks the release of Couch's "Spiritual Advisors" tape!

Weird as fuck sludge, or as they like to call it themselves, "slurry". This release is intensely unhinged! Music that I would never expect to work in the way they did it, but absolutely rips and utterly mental artwork, full of details to discover!

There is this underlying creepy feeling to the whole thing that makes you feel really uncomfortable in the best possible meaning of the word

Limited to 50 copies on clear purple tape with foldout inlay

It's Bandcamp Friday again and we have a new release out today!

Foaming Blood is a solo project of Jaka Vatovec (ex Leechfeast) and this is his first solo release. The tape is comprised of two tracks, both originating as soundtracks for two longer still-image videos, made of analog photos — False Magic and Cerberus — which were part of his False Magic project.

We're also starting pre-orders for the exclusive press of Corrupted's legendary Dios Injusto 7". We will only have 30 copies available, so don't sleep on this one!
