This Morn’ Omina join Dark Dimensions and announce ‘Vestiges’ 30-year compilation
Belgian ritual industrial act This Morn’ Omina have joined the Dark Dimensions Label Group. The announcement arrives as the project prepares to mark its 30th anniversary in 2026.
To celebrate the occasion, ProNoize / Dark Dimensions will release “Vestiges – 30 Years Of Ritual Sound (1996-2026)”, a compilation collecting known, rare and previously unreleased tracks from the project’s long-running catalogue. The album will be issued as a limited edition digipak CD on 26 June 2026.
About This Morn’ Omina
Formed in 1996, This Morn’ Omina have built one of the more distinctive bodies of work in ritual industrial music. The project’s sound has often moved through ceremonial percussion, hypnotic repetition, martial pressure, EBM structures, Middle Eastern tonal references and darker electronic frameworks. Rather than treating rhythm as a simple club mechanism, This Morn’ Omina use it as a form of invocation, with tracks often built around trance, pressure and transformation.
Across releases such as “7 Years Of Famine”, “Le Serpent Blanc – Le Serpent Rouge” and “Les Passages Jumeaux”, the Belgian act developed a language that sits between industrial aggression and ritual intensity. The early club impact of “One-Eyed Man” helped bring the project to wider attention, but This Morn’ Omina’s identity has always reached beyond dancefloor functionality. Its work is tied to cycles, symbolic systems and a larger sense of sonic continuity.
“Vestiges” is therefore positioned as more than a standard anniversary collection. The title points to traces, remains and surviving marks, which suits a project whose music has repeatedly dealt with memory, transformation and the body as a site of ritual force. The compilation revisits three decades of activity while also underlining the project’s ongoing presence within the current industrial landscape.
The new signing also places This Morn’ Omina within the Dark Dimensions Label Group, whose network includes ProNoize and a wider catalogue of industrial, dark electronic and gothic releases. For a project with such a strong ritual industrial identity, the move connects past work with a new label structure as the 30-year anniversary approaches.
Based in Wrocław, I work as a music journalist and photographer covering electro, industrial, EBM, gothic, and darkwave. My work includes features and live coverage, as well as concert, portrait, promo, and theater photography. What interests me most is the connection between artistic intention, what the work communicates, and what unfolds live on stage, all in pursuit of the bigger picture behind the music.
