11/03/2023 - The crypt is now open! After many moons Drowning the Light & the other entities I am involved in have a new domain to haunt. Most know the saga that led to this so I will not bore you with the details. This dominion is a place to download or stream music and eventually should have a few physical items for sale. You can find almost the complete discography for each of these projects here, and I will continuously update and add to this site. I have also tried to compile a lot of material, especially some of the earlier DTL material, so if something is missing be sure to check some of the other releases as it may be bonus material. Everything available to download is in high quality mp3 format (320 kbps) & all prices are in $AUD. I will also add some galleries, bios & more details to each release in the coming weeks, to make this site as comprehensive as possible for those who like to delve deeper into the lore. I appreciate those who continue to support Drowning the Light & those other entities as well as Dark Adversary Productions. Join the mailing list below for updates (not just in regards to this site, but also new releases etc.) and spread the word! More news soon. - Azgorh
