Welcome to the Helen Scarsdale Agency!

The Helen Scarsdale Agency is near the end of the campaign to reissue material from the On Corrosion boxset from 2019. This penultimate release is from of our favorite artists, Alice Kemp, the British musician, occultist, and aktionist who has often been an associate to the Schimpfluch Gruppe. Cryptic and oblique by design, Kemp's work reads perhaps as a seance gone awry, certainly as private ritual made public, and as a transfiguration of literary body horror turned into a sonic nightmare.

Relay For Death Mutual Consuming LP
Relay For Death is the noise project of the twin sisters Roxann and Rachal Spikula. Their hermetic works consistently reflect a bleak nihilism, all the while carving an autonomous space for survival as the rest of the existence crumbles.

She Spread Sorrow & Luca Sigurtà The Grimorian Tapes CD
The Italian death industrial duo of She Spread Sorrow and Luca Sigurta present The Grimorian Tapes as part of this tradition, drawing from a lineage of artists such as Coil, Psychic TV, Current 93, Cranioclast, and Metgumbnerbone.

Distributors and retail outlets are welcome to contact the agency if interested in directly buying from the Agency; and a full list of our current distributors can be found here.

We highly recommend that customers outside the North America make their purchases from these distributors, as the shipping costs have gone up dramatically for first class and priority to cross the border of the United States. Since 2016, international shipping has more than doubled in cost, and we cannot incur losses for this increase. If the shipping calculator through Paypal (which has always been a very blunt tool) over charges you, we will refund the difference upon calculating the exact price. If the shipping calculator under represents the cost, we may ask for an addition charge to cover the shipping. We do apologize; and again, we highly recommend you contacting any of our distributors to inquire about our products.

Digital distribution is also available through Bandcamp, iTunes, Midheaven, Boomkat, amongst other purveyors of the MP3.

A WORD ABOUT DIGITAL DOWNLOADS:

Currently most of our vinyl production has moved to Europe. This means that we can dropship considerable quantities of vinyl to European distributors who in turn can deliver these records at much lower costs. As many now know, shipping outside the US border has become prohibitively expensive (there are ridiculous reasons for this, but we have grown weary of the necessity to politicize everything). However, in dropshipping product from our pressing plants to distributors in the EU, this does mean that the LPs do not have download codes in them. It is also our policy not to include download codes for cassettes unless asked for.

So, if you have received a physical recording from us and you would like a download, please send us a polite note with your request and we’ll sort it out for you. It is NOT our intention to have any customer purchase the digital download in addition to a physical edition. You may contact us at helen AT helenscarsdale DOT com
