Deathlike Silence Productions

Profile

Deathlike Silence Productions was an Oslo, Norway based independent record label founded in 1989. It was run by [a=Euronymous], the then-guitarist of the black metal band [a=Mayhem], until he was murdered by [a=Varg Vikernes] of [a=Burzum] in August 1993. It released a total of only nine releases. Beginning in late 1992 or early 1993 and onwards, [l=Voices Of Wonder Records] handled the printing and distribution of the DSP releases. The label closed in 1994, the remaining planned releases were instead issued by other labels. Note: All original first press DSP CD's were pressed at DURECO in The Netherlands between 1992 and 1994, and come without IFPI. Curiosity: [a=Merciless (2)]' debut album "The Awakening" (released in early 1990 on vinyl) and [a=Burzum]'s debut album "Burzum" (released in March 1992 on CD and in May 1992 on vinyl) are the only releases distributed directly by Euronymous' Inner Circle instead of [l=Voices Of Wonder Records]. The majority of DSP releases had "Anti-Mosh" catalog numbers, although some did have "anti-mosh" or "ANTI-MOSH" - some releases were inconsistent with this over various elements of the packaging as well.
