05/2009 Ghul Productions News!

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Dear friends, living or dead,

it’s may and unfortunatly this means that the sun reigns over the world. Good ghuls like me try to stay in their catacombs and feast on the living. And some more, as you can read in the following news!

However, in the time of daylight I thought lots about todays music scene. For music like GHUL PRODUCTIONS publishes it it is difficult nowadays. There are tons of other bands out there and usually GHUL PRODUCTIONS stands for strange and weird stuff. I am not doing real CDs anymore. On the first day BARATHRUM has been released, it was available in the net for download (without permission of course). But no harm has been done – it’s sold out and the true die hard fans got a copy!

But whats going on with other bands on the roaster? CULTES DES GOULES is really to strange and the new recordings prove that again. You can hear yourself when it’s public available.

This leds me to a question: how should I release my music? I’m thinking about some collectors editions in a 100 piece edition and a free download for those who just want the MP3s. What do YOU think about such behaviour? Let me know!

But it’s a road till there – I am awaiting your feedback!

Till then enjoy my news and speak to you soon.

Yours sincerely,
Cy Ghul

*** BARATHRUM – LONG LIVE SATAN sold out ***

You read it in the letter, it’s sold out since the first day available! This CD-R has been a great success for such a small label like GHUL PRODUCTIONS is and I would like to thank the great BARATHRUM community and of course the band for letting this happen!

Actually nothing bad happens – everybody (I know so far) was happy with the music and I actually made a few bucks. But no, I don’t want to drive a porsche someday, this less money is going directly to the other release I plan this year. Anyway, thanks!

*** CULTES DES GOULES creates a split 7″ vinyl with FAUSTCOVEN ***

Yes it’s true. FAUSTCOVEN and CULTES DES GOULES created two songs together. You know, I am the sole CULTES DES GOULES musician and this makes me very proud to share vinyl with FAUSTCOVEN. Having that said, we allready have a label for this black piece – but this is still secret till the label announces this itself. Till then everything else is a secret. Even when this vinyl never comes out it was fun.
And as a bonus: I have been asked to play the drums for the FAUSTCOVEN side – and I did it!

*** CULTES DES GOULES records a new album for Halloween ***

Again CULTES DES GOULES – I am currently heavily recording the new songs of the new album which I plan for halloween 2009. Prepare for an ambient and strange album, more unusual than ever. Expect first demos in the next weeks!

Barathrum – Out now (and sold out)!

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Its out!!

Barathrum - Long Live Satan Cover

Barathrum - Long Live Satan Cover

The latest BARATHRUM output LONG LIVE SATAN is finally out – and gone, since there are only a few copies left! I never made a release which has been sold out so quickly. It feels very good of course. The success of this little album made nearly two new releases possible. Hopefully those are successful too :-)

Expect some more rare stuff of other great acts in the future. I allready talked to a few guys and I guess I have some collectors stuff for your ears. Subscribe to the newsletter to stay tuned!

Barathrum goes – Chaosgoat came!

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

As I told you before a while, I tried to get some copies from CHAOSGOAT demo THE PITCHFORK CHRONICLES in my shop. Well, I succeded! If you are interested in this totally obscure stuff, get the music at my shop!

This doesn’t necessary mean that my shop becomes big: there are only 5 copies left (ok, and 5 more pre-orders without payment) of BARATHRUMs LONG LIVE SATAN. I expect this CD-R to be sold out before the first of march. If you want one of the last copies you better hurry up!

Yours,
Cy

Waking the undead

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Oh my. As I started to work on the BARATHRUM project i didn’t think that I would become SO MUCH support and SO MUCH orders at once. I have more than 50 packages prepared for my postal office, and yes, people are trying out the CULTES DES GOULES CD-R aswell and order it too. Well, are this my good prices? No, I guess it’s just a sign of life from BARATHRUM people waited so long for. Well thanks. My days have become true office days in the catacombs, but I am glad about it. I nearly have my money back, and thats what I wanted. Great shit.

However, I wanted to do some music again, for the 7″ I allready told my readers. But at the moment? Impossible! BARATHRUM needs my full attention right now and music has to wait for another week. And: Mortiis crawled out from his studios and told me that he urgently needs new banners on his website. Well, I did so. The Banners are online, even when they are a bit unordered. Levi does care about that and I guess I will have some more work here to do aswell in the next days.
And Mortiis also told me to create some kind of gig calendar. You all know that this man knows what he does / wants, and even if I don’t know bout the old trolls plans, I guess there might be some concerts again. I remembered the last show he played in munich, which was wonderful. I really liked it. Great stuff. Hopefully that rumours is becoming true and we met up on a Mortiis tour. We’ll see.

OK, that’s all for now. If something new occurs, I’ll let you know. Just read my blog.

Yours,
Cy Ghul

P.S.: If you are confused by the title: the tons of work in my little studio here wake even the laziest dead!

BARATHRUM – Pre-Orders and MP3s of Long Live Satan

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Dear all,

the last weeks tons of pre-orders have flooded my mail inbox. I decided to put an end to this and open the shop for your pre-orders :-) If you pre-order, you’ll get a special price on the latest CULTES DES GOULES CD-R. Well, check out my shop.

For all of you who are still unsure about the CD-R, check out my downloads page. I have added some excerpts from LONG LIVE SATAN lately.For the cutted MP3s, but several legal restrictions here in germany forced me to do so. However, you’ll get a good idea of the sound of the album.

While I am at it, just a few words about the release. There have been several discussions about the CD-R and I would like to take the chance to clean up. Some people are wondering about the ridiculous limitation to 100 copies only. Well, please note that we are making a CD-R. Burning a unlimited number of copies makes my life to hell. I have now 100 pieces on my desk and that was hell enough :-) Second, the sound of the CD-R is not the best sound ever. This release is meant for die-hard fans. And those people who are always on track with BARATHRUM will find their way in time to this CD-R.
Then some people claimed that the CD-R is just a best of. Well yes, thats common use with that live recordings stuff. And the CD-R has been recorded in 1996, YES THINGS HAVE CHANGED since then. For example, BARATHRUM has brought out new cool releases.
About the cover, some people don’t like it. Well, I do. I guess Demonos does like it too. This is just a matter of taste and we’ll not change it. Even if hell would break loose people are demonstrating before my house, I will not change it.

OK, thats all for the moment. Hope those of you claiming about these and that will be satisfied by now. At least I am doing LONG LIVE SATAN cause I am worshiping BARATHRUM. Demonos gave me his OK for bringing this out even knowning that the sound is not perfect. I guess he want to give his fans what they demand for long time, namely a live release. And it was much fun to help him and much fun to speak with all those fans who allready contacted in matters of BARATHRUM. Hope you understand all the reasons which makes LONG LIVE SATAN to a very special release, with a atmosphere underground sound and some edges. Hope you’ll love the recording as I do! Thank you!

Yours,
Cy Ghul

BARATHRUM is manufactured right now

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Guys, good news again on the BARATHRUM – LONG LIVE SATAN release coming up in march. I allready wrote that I got the cover prints with perfect quality. Meanwhile I got the OK from Demonos Sova about the mastered version of the CD-R too. And last but not least I just have numbered all the covers and manufactured the first CD-R.

Everything looks good for a in time release.

Thanks for all helping hands out there and all the preorders which have been made so far. It’s all overwhelming and I am very excited about the CD-R.

BARATHRUM – Cover artwork finished

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Yesterday – shortly before the sun set – I picked up the cover prints from BARATHRUMs – LONG LIVE SATAN CD-Rom. It’s printed on a really great paper and looks fantastic. After my upcoming travel to the old city of Dresden I will start with giving the 100 pieces a number. As soon as Mr. Demonos Sova gives his OK to the master, I will start burning the BARATHRUM rarity.

Everything is prepared. The number of preorders is still increasing – thanks to all you guys who are so supportive. All other better make their orders soon. It may happen that just a few copies are left in march.

Well… but now I’ll go back to the CATACOMBS studios and do some music for NIGHTGAUNTS.

I wish you all the best for the next year. Enjoy your drinks and the night!
