Overview

Skatbo Records is an independent record label based in Stockholm, Sweden. The label is named after the Swedish word for a magpie's nest — a place where dark, collected things are gathered and kept — a metaphor that fits its focus on slow, heavy, and atmospheric doom metal. Its catalogue is built around the doom metal project Doomherre, for which Skatbo Records serves as the primary master owner, overseeing the music from inception to release. The label's releases are issued in physical formats such as CD and LP, often through partnerships with like-minded independent labels around the world. Among its collaborators are Majestic Mountain Records and Superlord Recordings. Skatbo Records retains the rights to its masters, while physical editions are brought into the world in cooperation with these partner labels. Skatbo Records operates as a small, artist-focused independent label. Its public identity is closely tied to Doomherre, and its catalogue numbering (001, 002, etc.) reflects a curated, deliberate release schedule. The label handles licensing, physical distribution partnerships, press, and general correspondence regarding Doomherre and its own activities. As an independent label, Skatbo Records is privately held and not listed on any stock exchange. Its online presence centres on its official website and Bandcamp, where its releases can be streamed and purchased.

Slow, heavy, and consecrated in doom," with artwork featuring a plague doctor surrounded by poisonous bloom.

Pestilential lords rise from the wreckage — doom metal forged in toxic fire and ancient ruin." Both titles are available on Bandcamp and in physical formats including CD and LP.
