Deathlike Silence Productions
Deathlike Silence Productions was an Oslo, Norway based independent record label founded in 1989. It was run by Euronymous, the then-guitarist of the black metal band Mayhem, until he was murdered by Varg Vikernes of Burzum in August 1993.
It released a total of only nine releases.
Beginning in late 1992 or early 1993 and onwards, 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: Merciless (2)' debut album "The Awakening" (released in early 1990 on vinyl) and 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 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.
Trivia: the name of the label is taken from the Sodom song "Deathlike Silence" from "Obsessed by Cruelty" album from 1986.
