We're excited to announce the release of the masterful debut album "Ecclesia" from BORGIA.

Decadent, occult avantgardist Death Metal from these Parisian patrons which is quite literally some of the most challenging, rich extreme metal we have heard in years. Presented in a special deluxe six panel digi-pak with a beautifully illustrated 20 page booklet, "Ecclesia" is also availble as a limited edition package with an exclusive full colour, double sided t-shirt.

Only 100 limited edition cd and shirt packages are available.

Steeped in mystical influence based around the sickness and grandeur of the medieval, renaissance and baroque periods of the European church and dictated into Latin, Spanish and French. BORGIA delivers unique, evocative and oppressive Death Metal that is seldom heard these days. Pioneering dark art for practitioners of the hidden knowledge and for appreciators of classic occultist Morbid Angel, Akercocke, Immolation et al. Sinsiter genius is afoot. Now available to order through the Paradigms store so check it out here.

And you can sample a track from the album on the Paradigms audio player. "Ecclesia" is also available now through a selection of quality record stores and mailorders across the world.

The exclusive, limited edition BORGIA "Ecclesia" t-shirt features full colour front and back prints taken from the majestic album artwork and printed on heavy, black shirts in small, medium, large and XL sizes and is available at a special package price with the cd album, which is also now available through the Paradigms webstore.

As a record label, we are very conscious about the way we package and present our releases. We are also very aware of the wasteful use of plastics in standard cd packaging so we have made a decision that from now on, all Paradigms releases will be presented in environmentally sustainable packaging in special heavyweight gatefold cardboard digi-paks with all the care and attention to bold, decadent design. Thank you.

Today we're pleased to unveil the debut release from ELITIST. Venomous doom grind horror from Portland, Oregon.

The raw, blackened energy and sonic power of this band really do suggest something very special is lurking here. It kind of gives us the feral excitement that cutting edge extremists like Burning Witch and Nasum have given us in the past. Slow, fast, colossally heavy and effortlessly executed basement crust metal punk. 5 vital tracks to rip faces. You will be hearing much more from these guys. Watch out for a future Elitist / Transient split album coming out on Paradigms too.

"Elitist" is now available exclusively from the Paradigms Recordings webstore at www.paradigms-recordings.com , along with audio samples and more information

We also have the pleasure today of releasing the debut cd album "The Bigger Picture" from HEART IN MOUTH. Vast, beautiful cosmic French electronica / prog isolationism, deep tones and rich textured cathedrals of sound.

Almost choral in places, epic and bombastic with chiming bells and pulsing tones to dark, glacial ambient electronica that is pure astral. Hints of classic European avant-prog (Magma, Univers Zero) are subtely apparent throughout too. "The Bigger Picture" is a great triumph in modern composition; inspiring, emotional and provocative to the senses. Reminds us of the wonderful Bel Canto in places (and then obviously following on to Biosphere) - it's dark, spiraling melodies and intricate instrumenation send our minds to far off places and give us goose bumps. Delightful.

"The Bigger Picture" is now available exclusively from the Paradigms Recordings webstore at www.paradigms-recordings.com , along with audio samples and more information

To coincide with the release of the recent new WOBURN HOUSE album, we're happy to have the wonderful albums from Klabautamann and Valborg now available too from the webstore. Klabautamann features Florian Toyka from Woburn House and the lyrics of Christian Kolf and both albums embody the band's own rich, organic, progressive woodland Black Metal blueprint. Very nice. Valborg, on the other hand, is the strange, angular death metal hybrid of Woburn House's Christian Kolf. Deep and progressive - both bands deserve your attention now and you can find out more in the Paradigms webstore here

And also, we have finally commissioned a new reprint of the PARADIGMS label T-SHIRT. So this bold design is now available to order again in all sizes from small through to extra-large. Again, this is available from the webstore here

We're very pleased to announce the signing of BORGIA from France to Paradigms Recordings. Rarely does a band affect us as profoundly as this band and we're proud to unveil an Autumn release for their debut album, "Ecclesia".

BORGIA presents some of the most visionary, decadent and arcane blackened Death Metal that we have heard in years ; steeped in mystical influence based around the sickness and grandeur of the medieval, renaissance and baroque periods of the European church and dictated into Latin, Spanish and French.

BORGIA delivers unique, evocative and oppressive Death Metal that is seldom heard these days. Pioneering dark art for practitioners of the hidden knowledge and for appreciators of classic occultist Morbid Angel, Akercocke, Immolation et al. Sinsiter genius is afoot.

"Ecclesia" will be available in the Autumn of 2009, presented in a deluxe 6 panel digi-pak with 20 page booklet. More information coming shortly.

WOBURN HOUSE
"Monstrous Manoeuvres In The Mushroom Maze" CD
(PARADIGMS029) OUT NOW
www.paradigms-recordings.com

Today we're proud to announce the release of the second album from Germany's WOBURN HOUSE. Entitled "Monstrous Manoeuvres In The Mushroom Maze", this recording takes the band's already transcendental music to even greater heights.

Beautifully crafted, adventurous and inspiring - this unique band are always tough to pin down. Levitating between the bliss of the finest European avantgarde metal, epic song structures and earthy, organic post-rock tones, "Monstrous Manoeuvres In The Mushroom Maze" unfurls layer upon layer of beautifully textured melody that is driven by a bass drift that reminds us of classic early Lungfish in parts too. And all wrapped up in beautiful artwork painted by Toby Driver of Kayo Dot and mastered by the sound genius of Tom Kvålsvoll (Strype Audio).

This cd is available exclusively from the Paradigms Recordings website at www.paradigms-recordings.com. Check the website for more information, audio samples and full, secure online webstore.

Thanks and enjoy!

Alongside the new release by Old Mayor, we're very pleased to bring you the "Nazarene Hallucinations" cd from Bosnia.

BOSNIA "Nazarene Hallucinations" CD
Limited Edition of 500 copies only (PARADIGMS028)

Blackened doom crust from Denver, Colorado. Brutal, grinding filth and
downtuned terror with an underlying air of atmospheric menace which
reminds us of His Hero Is Gone, Kylesa and such, along with a deathly nod to
black metal aesthetics. Glorious.


"Nazarene Hallucinations" is available exclusively from the Paradigms webstore at www.paradigms-recordings.com

Paradigms Recordings is please to announce the first of two new releases today, and our first of 2009.

OLD MAYOR "Old Mayor" CD
Limited Edition of 500 only (PARADIGMS027)

The debut from England’s almighty power duo, Old Mayor. Stripped down
heavy sonics of the highest order, like the missing link between
Burning Witch and Slint, perhaps. Recently seen supporting the likes of
Boris, Russian Circles, A Storm Of Light and ASVA, there is something
rather special going on here.

"Old Mayor" is available exclusively via the Paradigms webstore at
www.paradigms-recordings.com
