• Shipping and handling charges are presented at checkout. If the actual shipping cost ends up being significantly less than what you paid, we'll refund the difference (less supplies). All packages are shipped with the United States Postal Service (USPS).

    Unless otherwise stated, we will make every effort to have all orders out the door within two business days of ordering. If we encounter some unexpected significant delay, you will be notified. Based on items ordered, you may receive more than one package. In these cases, you will not be charged additional S & H for the second parcel. Once your items have shipped, you will receive tracking information.

    We are not responsible for items lost or damaged by USPS or other carriers during transit. If you are concerned about this or have had issues in the past, we’re happy to insure the items at time of shipping but that cost is the buyers responsibility.

    For any questions, concerns or special requests regarding shipping, such as adding insurance or using a carrier other than the USPS, please send a message prior to ordering.

  • All sales are considered final unless they fall into one of the following categories:

    - We shipped the wrong product(s)

    - You have received a defective product (CD contains wrong music, LP skips excessively, etc.)

    - Garment does not conform to indicated size (XL fits like a L, etc.) and is returned unwashed/unworn

    - You ordered an item by mistake (wrong size garment, meant to order a different title from the same band)

    If your order falls into one of these categories, please contact us at alteseelen@yahoo.com.

    If we cannot exchange it for a similar product, we will offer a refund, similar item or credit.

    Refunds/exchanges will only be issued upon our receipt of the original item in the condition in which it was originally shipped.

    In cases where you ordered the wrong item, you are responsible for the return shipping as well as covering our cost of shipping the new item to you.

  • Alte Seelen takes the security of our customers, partners and artists very seriously.

    The hardware used to run our operation is stored securely, appropriately protected and only accessible to a single person at each location.

    At no time will we share any piece of your PII (Personally Identifiable Information) with someone outside the Alte Seelen organization.

    In addition to working with vendors who adhere to best practices in the realm of online security, we assure you that your PII will never be used or stored offline unless needed for shipping purposes.

    Should you have questions regarding your data security, please contact us and we will do our best to address any concerns you may have.

  • We are always interested in hearing new music and connecting with like-minded artists.

    If you are interested in working with Alte Seelen in any way, feel free to contact us using any of the methods found on this site. We read all incoming mail and, while we aim to respond to all messages, we cannot guarantee a reply.

    Physical products, demos, promo packs, etc. may be sent to:

The spiritual successor to God is Myth and Ars Magna Recordings, Alte Seelen is a new US-based label supporting the extreme metal underground and adjacent subgenres.

Founded by the heads of God is Myth and Ars Magna, Alte Seelen aims to produce high quality releases while illuminating the bands, artists and individuals who contribute to the music that is our life’s blood.

We will continue to expand our reach by working with respected artists to provide unique items ranging from prints to wood carvings and leather work.

While we acknowledge and draw upon the experiences of the past, Alte Seelen represents a conscious decision to leave those ventures dormant and dreaming.

A new banner has been raised.
