Label
De Pankraker was born in the depths of the underground, a rebellious radio program that delved into a cluster of metal sub-genres known for their daring sonic and visual transgressions. By 2022, it had expanded its reach with a magazine, and in 2023, it emerged from the shadows with its own festival. Now, in 2024, we proudly unveil De Pankraker Records, delving even deeper into the abyss with a distro and label. Metal for demons!!
Feel free to submit your work for release, but keep in mind our vibe: we're all about serving up dishes that are cold and old-school. No fancy stuff, no technicalities, and definitely no triggered drums. Contact: peter (dot) cousaert (at) gmail (dot) com or use the contact page.

DPK 010 Allegory of Death - Promo MMXXVI TAPE 03.07.2026
Death is an inescapable reality. The ultimate equalizer among mortals, much like shit itself. Grounded in this raw, nihilistic philosophy, the duo K.P. and J. Witchfvkker return to drag the underground back into the filth. Following an initial demo (K.P. solo), Allegory of Death releases a promotional tape that serves as a grim harbinger of a larger upcoming work.
On this release, the duo crafts a sound defined by old-school and proto black metal. While old-school black metal is the most fitting general term, the promo leans heavily into proto black metal and first-wave black metal, channeling the primitive, dark energy of the pioneers.
The sound is primitive and raw, completely stripped of modern polished production techniques. The promo thrives on dirty production, simple yet crushing riffs, unrefined drumming, and occult keys.
Allegory of Death refuses to be neatly boxed into a single subgenre, preferring instead to invoke the obscure and sinister spirit of early European black metal. This promo is an atmospheric, uncompromising, and filthy calling card that bodes well for their upcoming full-length. If this release is any indication, a truly dark mass awaits us.
DPK 009 Shewolff – We’re All Going To Die 12" + CD (co-release with Dying Victims Productions) 22.05.2026
DE PANKRAKER RECORDS and DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS are proud to present SHEWOLFF’s highly anticipated debut mini-album, We’re All Gonna Fukking Die, on CD and 12” vinyl formats.
Hailing from Belgium, SHEWOLFF emerged from the underground as a solo-project of K. Von Shewolff, which eventually formed into the solid three-piece band it is today. They find their origins in raw, punk-driven blackness galore, faithfully returning to the old-school spirit of making music by modest and primitive means. A five-song digital-only demo was released in 2023 - songs which contain absolute fury towards the known and long-overdue established order, existential live-or-die sentiment, and a small tribute paid to the old-school believers who came before them.
Now, SHEWOLFF blend all that together on the debut mini-album We’re All Gonna Fukking Die. With six new tracks pushing towards a final and inevitable end, this bleakly titled record is actually invigorating and inspiring: railing against the dying of the light with a paradoxically dark metalpunk sound, familiar in its stomping swagger but exuding cantankerous charisma that’s all their own. The aesthetic signposts are planted firmly in the ground – think Hellhammer, pre-Viking Bathory, Darkthrone’s record-nerd era, early Midnight, the almighty Venom, or even labelmates like KARLOFF, HELLCRASH, and Germany’s LUCIFUGE – but SHEWOLFF manage to stir some diabolical little twists into the bubbling brew, with K. Von Shewolff’s vocals in particular imparting a femininity that’s fierce, frightening, and fucking going for the throat. In fact, “going for the throat” is the best way to describe We’re All Gonna Gie, so embrace it, ye fukks!
DPK 008 Absava - Jumaluuden yhdysside 22.06.2026
De Pankraker Records presents the second full-length album from Absava.
Jumaluuden yhdysside, the second full-length album by Absava, stands as a cold, monumental and experimental black metal meditation on gods, humans, and the vast ravines between them.
Absava is the trinity of AK (Absolute Key), HC (Hail Conjurer), and ER (Askeregn). The project originally began as a colder and hazier extension of Absolute Key, elevated by the intense and enthusiastic vocals of Hail Conjurer. Following the demo “Värähtelyjä kynnyksellä”, the band delved deeper into psychedelic territories with their debut full-length “Kaikkiallinen – Kosminen – Tajunta”. With “Jumaluuden yhdysside”,
Absava returns to a more stripped-down and stagnant approach. The intention was to bring an icy atmosphere back into the core of the project, while also introducing something monumental to elevate the compositions. To achieve this, long-time pen pal E. Rustad was invited to contribute guitar work. Having already demonstrated his remarkable abilities on the track “Lunar Wraiths” (an Absolute Key track), it was clear he could guide these songs to previously uncharted heights.
The result is a work that connects dots and stars alike. A towering, frozen vision of sound and spirit.
DPK 007 Temple Mist - O Spiritus, qui in hoc loco adsum, audi me et exaudi preces meas TAPE 01.11.2025
TEMPLE MIST emerges from the cryptic depths of the Netherlands, conjuring a storm of ancient rituals. Born from sinister energies, the project draws its inspiration from the obscure demo-era black metal of Greece’s legendary Necromantia and Abruptum. Ritualistic, primitive, obscure and sinister: TEMPLE MIST channels the spirit of black metal’s early days.
Death, necromancy, and darkness run through every sound, invoking eldritch rituals meant to summon ancient malvolent spirits. The second album, ‘O Spiritus, qui in hoc loco adsum, audi me et exaudi preces meas’, weaves a tapestry of harrowing improvisational drums and bass guitars. Haunted by analogue synths and strangled howling of the dead.
DPK 006 BLOED - 'T REGENT Tape 04.07.2025
A new force rises from the bloody depths of the Amsterdam underground… Their moniker is BLOED, an acronym for “Belzebub Lacht Om Elke Dood”, loosely translated as “Beelzebub Laughs at Every Death.”
Their debut release is titled ‘t Regent’ and is a worship sermon of old school metal, from a time where death and black metal where still one and the same: morbid. Expect raw and intense war metal terrorism filled with deranged vocal proklamations and chaotic riffing assaults, devoid of any subtleties. This piece of blasphemous filth will appear on de Pankraker Records, and will see the light during their festival the 4th of July.

DPK 005 Bacht'n de Vulle Moane - Klaagrituelen 12" 20.04.2025
Bacht’n de Vulle Moane (Westflemish for Behind the Full Moon) merges the feral intensity of black metal with the pulsating oscillations of analogue electronics.
Raw, punishing and intense, Klaagrituelen is the band’s first release. Originally released as a limited tape edition on Haunted by Ill Angels, De Pankraker is now proud to offer the band's debut on 12 inches of jet black wax.
For fans of Beherit, Ildjarn, Klaus Schulze and DAF.
