It is an honour to be able to once again present you freaks with another onslaught of musick from the seemingly limitless catalogue! Following up on our last Advent reckoning where Hecate uploaded one LP a week during the Dark days of December through til New Years..... Here at ZHARK INTERNATIONALBANDCAMP ... We have set up the next chapter in this most relentless of installments!
Surely the time has come to present some of the other artists Hecate released on vinyl through her top notch curation and productions.... Having procured the darkest and most elaborate from every project and Artist, mastered mostly in London at the most top notch studios particularily for 12" releases, ZHARK INTERNATIONAL stood as a masthead for the Industrial, Broken, Cut-up Dark Breaks scene since it´s inception.
Started in 1996 with the PAYBACK LP... The original Zhark team of Rachael Kozak and Patric Stottrop pressed up 800 12"s with no vision to the future or any sense of distribution! That went quickly bringing another and onto that... well... Obviously even more!
After splitting ZHARK (which Rachael named and made the logos for) respectively... ZHARK INTERNATIONAL was founded for more Breakcore and Dark Ambient sounds whilst Patric took Zhark Berlin into more minimal techno byways, also on vinyl. Obviously they both had their own visions but agreed to keep the main theme and original vibe of ZHARK ready and ripping! What developed and unfolded over decades has been legendary, to say the least...!
This SUMMER 2025 - SUMMER SLAM comes to you as a warm up to the 30th Anniversary Celebration for the consummation of the first of the ZHARK releases.... Every week we will present another release from the catalogue of what was only released on vinyl. Keeping with the BANDCAMP ONLY aesthetic.... HECATE has set out once again to pummel you with only the best of her Roster. ABELCAIN. SLUTMACHINE. XANOPTICON. VENETIAN SNARES. RIPIT. SOMATIC RESPONSES. VILE ENGINEZ AND MORE! ....
ZHARKINTERNATIONAL is proud to kick of the SUMMER SLAM with - PANTHEON OF FIENDS.... Released as a double 12" concept LP about every Classic Horror Monster from the penultimate chasms of Cinema.... ABELCAIN spent almost a year writing this entire release and did his utmost to bring his wicked sense of rhythm to his Gothic KopfKino! We are looking towards releasing one LP and even some previously unreleased tunes EVERY FUKKING WEEK until September! At the Equinox the entire catalogue of every ZHARK release henceforth published on BANDCAMP will be available for a now undisclosed amount.....
Revving up for the 30th Anniversary of EVERYTHING ZHARK... Hecate is in the process of booking a World Tour for 2026 in tandem with the 250th Anniversary of the founding of THE USA!! FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND UNREPENTANT ART! ALWAYS PUSHING THE LIMITS AND NEVER STOPPING THE PARTY! LOUDER THE BETTER!!!
