DMMG Gigs & Tours (here is where you can find out about both one off gigs/concerts we organise (through DMMG Management & Promotion) and tours for artists and bands who are either signed to our management label or have a dual contract with both our management and record labels.
DMMG Distro, this is our in-house distribution label for all of our merchandise and products, including our music, videos, and multi-media.
Dark & Wise Recordings, is our compilation music label, originally founded as a cassette tape compilation label, it's aim was to support bands in the alternative and underground scenes through the release of compilation cassettes of various bands we like as an extension of Cyrkel Spynn Fanzine/Cyrkel Spynn Magazine.
Altar-Ego Music, this was our audio music and music video and film publishing label, aimed at being an extension of AEM Records our first actual record label. And is now our music publishing label for both DMMG Records and Seventh Hell Recordings.
AEM Records was our first attempt at launching a record label, originally signed to the band was Stoke on Trent Gothic Rock band - Lupine, and we had plans to sign other artists/bands, however when we found out their was another record label with the same name, we closed down the label, so there would be no clash of interests between us and the other label of the same name.
DMMG Records, again another of our record labels, that was prominent between 2006 and 2014, the first band to be signed to DMMG Records was Sheffield female fronted punk band Leather Zoo, however they shelved when they defaulted on their record contract through breach of copyright concerning the online publishing of music that DMMG Records had paid for during professional studio recording session with both Woodman Recording Studios and Axis Recording Studios. Later DMMG Records released several CD Albums, CD EP's, with also online/download streaming for the later album and EP releases for artists such as; Steve Andrew aka the Bard of Ely, PRANA, and Koradji, while with DMMG Records the artists also gained much acclaim and DMMG Records got songs included on several Movie Original Soundtracks which Chemical Burn Entertainment, and others. DMMG Records have also recently added M&S Phenomena (Sheffield, UK) to the label roster.
Seventh Hell Recordings, our sister record label to DMMG Records, SHR only released one album a re-release of the band Orchis's album Phoenix Trees. With recently the addition of HexenBlut UK (Sheffield, UK) and now also Chaos Bleak (Nottingham, UK) now on the label roster.
For more information on the record label, check out the labels individual pages on the website...!!!
DMMG Studios, was originally our state of the art 48 track pro-audio recording studio in Sheffield city centre, in the UK, the studio was used to post-production and mastering of all the releases for DMMG Records and Seventh Hell Recordings.

Speaking of HexenBlut UK, the band's instrumental deput EP, recently got an amazing review within Pulse Alternative Magazine, and a song from the EP was also included on Pulse Radio on Mixcloud.... here is what Pulse Magazine said:
HEXENBLUT UK – Majestic Dark Soundscapes Of The Apocalyptic Void (EP)(Seventh Hell Recordings, SHR-CD-002)
The mysterious and enigmatic HexenBlut UK: there’s not much known about this outfit. As with their sound, they tend to shy away from the spotlight, but on the flip side this tends to put their music centre stage, and when the music is as devilishly as good as this that’s exactly where it should be. An extended EP with a running time of 28-minutes, Majestic Dark Soundscapes Of The Apocalyptic Void is a haunting listen...and one during which you should always keep the light on.
‘Intro’ is the opening track (obviously) and does exactly what it says on the tin. A collage of spooky sounds, any one of which could have been pulled from a super spooky movie soundtrack and it creates a rather discombobulating introduction; it’s akin to one of those “Enter If You Dare” signs or a crooked finger beckoning you at an evil carnival. In fact, it’s so hypnotic and darkly enticing that it really is quite difficult to resist its magnetic pull. However, if you do step over the threshold you will be greeted by ‘Bleak Shadowy Darkness’, a track that perfectly blurs the lines between industrial and darkwave, and another track that’s nigh on impossible to deny its dark delights.
Aside from some wheezy, asthmatic, deathlike groans and other assorted samples, Majestic Dark Soundscapes Of The Apocalyptic Void is largely instrumental and it speaks in a way that vocalised music never could. There’s a dark aesthetic hanging over these eight tracks, a cinematic quality which will fill your head with images of bats and belfries, catacombs, coffins and crypts along with baying wolves and howling winds. The result is like the coolest horror film you’ve ever seen played out to the musical spell that HexenBlut UK casts.
As is the nature of this EP we get the tracks duplicated as different mixes; thus, we get five versions of ‘Bleak Shadowy Darkness’, yet they are markedly dissimilar, so much so that the whole thing flows smoothly, the spell it casts means its running time passes in the blink of an eye.
Embrace the darkness.
