What’s that you say? A Black Metal/Witch House record label that releases material solely on VHS tapes set to obscure, chopped up horror films? Yeah, that sounds pretty fucking cool. The recently founded Video Horror Show, or V/H/S (see what they did there?), ain’t your daddy’s Satan-worshiping record label. No, they want to cater to all the elements of your musical consumption. There will be no firing up the minivan to jet over to Sam Goody to snag their CD’s. Hell, you can’t even pirate this shit. For V/H/S, it’s bright purple pentagram emblazoned VHS or bust.

Call me a nostalgic, but I still really like VHS tapes. Maybe it’s because the one’s I still have are just the choicest picks from my childhood, or maybe because (and I can’t believe more people don’t complain about this) they’re way fucking easier to rewind/fast forward than DVD’s. Plus, ever since I first saw The Ring, tapes have gotten all sinister and whatnot. Don’t they just look kind of evil? There’s been a recent re-embrace of the medium; I hope some of you picked up Ti West’s awesome throwback horror The House of The Devil, which was released on VHS last year. But I don’t think I’ve seen it used like this yet.

The first tape, Cult Is Religion Vol.1,  is out now and is set to one gigantic Drone track by Suffer The Shards of the Lost Cult Of Silence. Judging by the above preview it’s some relatively heavy stuff. The artwork, both on the case and the tape, is satanic as fuck. You can buy it here, but move quick as there’s only fifty copies available. Limited edition yo! Even better, the next tape (due out before the new year) will feature recently blogged about Witch House act M△S▴C△RA! Good times!
