• Aphelion Records was started in the Winter of 1998 to promote the distribution and release of dark art in various formats.

  • This is an independent label, committed to bringing the listener music of embracing evocativeness.


  • Updates:

  • 9/7/1999 - There has been a change of plans for the release of the Isidore album. It will now be released as a demo only to the underground. It is completely recorded and available for $2 PPD from the Aphelion address. There are no plans for a Isidore CD in the near future, although the possibility can't be ruled out.
    In addition the Politics of Defiance compilation has been delayed once again, and will probably be released only on cassette at a bargain price. Check back to see the release date, more will be known in a couple of weeks.

  • For those who are interested, there is a feature on Aphelion Records, Endymion and Isidore in the next issue of Ultimo Comparatio magazine.

  • The Politics of Defiance, an American Black Metal Compilation CD - featuring the best and most viciously innovative black metal bands from the States.

    • Relapse
