Ok so here is a little update about our upcoming album.

His has worked with bands such as Opeth, Paradise Lost, Bloodbath, Primordial, Mayhem, My Dying Bride, Ulver, At The Gates, Virus etc etc etc

so expect awesome stuff and btw soon we will hit you with the cover and more news.

News regarding distribution and sold out records!

When "We All Face The Dark Alone" and "Our Astral Circle" first was released in 2008 and 2009, they were only distributed in scandinavia. Which means they never got out to the european market dispite rave reviews all over europe.

But now for the first time, all our records (of course including both Rural deluxe DLP and Our Astral Circle LP) are available on the european market and let me tell you, the interest have been strong.

We have almost had a hard time keeping up with order from the distributor Sound Pollution. We have so far shipped 100 copies of Rural DLP, 125 copies of Our Astral Circle CD and the absolute last 45 copies of We All Face The Dark Alone CD. This is of course big and really good news for us!

Our Astral Circle (the Discouraged Records​ press) was sold out some years ago and we have had the south american press by Detesta and Maca Ataka to sell at our shows, but now since these big order, we only have around 25 copies left. And after that, both pressings are sold out. And like I said, We All Face The Dark Alone is now sold out and will most likely never be pressed again!

Moloken are now officially endorsed by Green Guitars, a rather newguitar brand from Sweden. Kristoffer is first up with one of their guitars, on the image he is playing on his "Green LP Black Chrome".

Kristoffer: I had the opportunity to visit their shop while on holiday, and I played on different models for over 2 hours until i finally made my choice with the LP Black Chrome model. It's really quite similar to my Gibson LP Studio, but a bit tighter sound and also a tad more aggressive which was exactly what I was looking for.

Check them out!
