Doomcore Records 200


Wow!
Who would have thought. Doomcore Records is about to turn 11, and we're at the 200th (two hundredth) release already. When we started the label, back in a cold, doomy and rainy Hamburg night in December 2012, we didn't expect the label to last that long, to grow so big - and to put out so many releases.
But yeah, it's a fact, so we need to face it like it is.

So, as release number 200, we have something very special for you!
Instead of doing a regular "best of", Rites picked tracks that he thinks are a good representation of the label's output, and he also put them in a mix.
And this mix is also a re-recording of a "Doomcore Records Showcase" set that he did at an underground Hardcore party in Vienna!
So these tracks have been vetted by an audience of Vampire Ravers already, and are now ready to please your eardrums, too - or to blast them to smithereens!

Our final words go out to the countless of people that have supported us on this "hero's journey" (or rather a villain's journey?);

The artists who sent us tracks and made wonderful and doomed music for our releases; our crew member Mattia who did so many great and very disturbing artworks; those big international music magazines that kept pushing and promoting our label even though we never sent in demos, nor suspected they were even aware that we exist; everyone else who kept pushing our music; all the DJs that spun our tracks at big or underground parties, or in online mixes; the enthusiasts that came to our listening parties, or left comments, wrote reviews, etc; and, of course, all of *you*, the fans, the listeners.
Because *you* made it all possible.

You created a monster - and for this, we are proud of you!

Now, let's go on and tackle the next 200 releases.
