THE MUSIC BUSINESS: Season Of Mist, Moribund, Diminished Fifth Records Join Sonic Unyon Distribution's Exclusive Label Roster



If you're are fans of bands on these labels, (and believe me Season Of  Mist and Moribund are quality black and extreme metal labels) Season Of Mist, Moribund and Diminished Fifth Records will join Sonic Unyon Distribution's exclusive label roster for distribution in Canada.
FROM BWBK.COM and SONIC UNYON DISTRIBUTION:


Effective immediately the Season Of Mist, Moribund and Diminished Fifth Records labels are distributed exclusively in Canada by Sonic Unyon Distribution. Label descriptions are as follows:

Season Of Mist is France's leading independent metal record label, founded in 1996 by Michael S. Berberian in Marseilles. In the beginning the label was primarily releasing albums of the black, pagan and death metal variety, but the label has now expanded to include avant-garde, gothic and even punk bands artists. Season of Mist is widely respected as one of the top labels in the extreme metal scene. Key current SOM bands include , ROTTING CHRIST, WATAIN, SEPTIC FLESH and CYNIC, while the label's catalogue includes great releases from the likes of ENSLAVED, MAYHEM, GORGOROTH, FINNTROLL, PENTAGRAM and many more.

America’s premiere black and death metal label, Moribund Records is proudly celebrating its 16th year of uncompromising extreme metal. Known for finding and nurturing such genre-reviving and - expanding artists as LEVIATHAN, BROWN JENKINS, AYAT, SARGEIST, XASTHUR, SATAN’S HOST, DRAWN AND QUARTERED, NECRONOCLAST, KROHM and HORNA, MORIBUND continually pushes the accepted boundaries of “art” in music while maintaining a professionalism and commitment to excellence rarely seen on the underground level. Trends in heavy metal may come and go, but Moribund always leads while others follow.

Diminished Fifth Records is more then a just company that releases and promotes heavy music; the entity was formed around an idea that goes well beyond the duty of a mere record label. Diminished Fifth Records is a lone voice that can be heard screaming loudly from Canada’s sheltered east coast! Passionate and filled with purpose, the label is on a mission to expose the seedy underbelly of Canada’s East Coast, a region which is all too easily recognized for traditional Celtic Music and Indie Rock. Diminished Fifth spearheaded a campaign to have metal music recognized by the East Coast Music Association and campaigned to create a new category ‘Loud Recording of the Year that is now part of the 2009 ECMA’s.
