What's Brathory you ask? Behind the fun name, a real purpose. 


We've grown incredibly weary of having to navigate tons of sketchy and sometimes downright fash bands being promoted on various YouTube channels and other outlets. Instead, we've decided to simply stop bothering with these ⤵️
We're coming up for air to share something extra special with you: @haydukex.bsky.social from MoshPitNation interviewed the experimental metal band, Plague of Carcosa during their tour date in Michigan this summer. Please give it a watch!

We're kicking off this month with an incredibly passionate and inspiring release from The Blood Mountain Black Metal Choir. Delving deep into the dark realities of Appalachia, these 5 songs of pain and exploitation pack a cathartic punch

Today we're premiering the new @mossknightcometh.bsky.social album, a lovely tale about wet shoes and drying them as the storm passes by, after a day of tiring work in the rain... A soul-warming gift for those who toil and are only met with disdain and hate.

As we descend further into a world of darkness and despair, let your entire being dissolve and become one with "Signal Abnormality" by Form of an Owl. The cello will be your guide, its strings creating clarity within your strained mind.

Today we embrace the beauty of spring through a gentle offering by none other than Moss Knight, already featured here for his (incredible) Lucerne Hammer demo. We hope that you may be soothed by the caress of the vernal breeze invoked by these tunes.

Float away to a realm of ethereal rivers and seasonal rebirth with Morke's castle metal release "Forged in Steel and Love".

May these three blackened merry tunes provide respite while weathering uncertain times.

Today we descend into the haunted, blood-starved sounds of Lust Hag's "Irrevocably Drubbed". A shrieking, bone-crushing invocation of horror and despair, drenched in fury.

For those who find comfort in the grotesque and grim.

We have the immense pleasure to present @pretendeer.bsky.social latest release. The journey of Ciri is a treacherous one, but every note of this masterful release strikes as true as the sword of the Swallow, recounted brilliantly by the talented Ziri.

Tarnished one, allow us to bring before you the "Age of Dark and Fire" by Stonesword Key. This seriously epic death-doom release was summoned into existence only three years ago, and still hits just as hard today. #metalsky

Winter wanes and Spring waxes, ever so promising and gentle, a soothing breeze cleansing the hardships and rigors of life...

Gladekeeper's ( @fogweaver.bsky.social ) "Yearntale" is the very incarnation of the beauty that lies in friendship and love.

New Lammoth soon!
Giving my Bluesky peeps exclusive first-look, I have a new single entitled 'Weeping of the Ainur' coming out next month! This is a standalone track, written for a benefit comp that is TBA. More details to come, just felt like giving a little tease 🙄

"Fucked Into Nonexistence" is a delightfully murky onslaught of death metal and grindcore. These songs will pulverize you into dust, just as the mysterious Dungavenhooter does to its prey.

Today we're beyond proud to present a new meditative offering by the master @frothsynth.bsky.social. Cedar Grove treads ancient paths cloaked with incense smoke and dew-covered ferns, as the ever hypnotic drones and found sounds blanket us amidst the old growth.

Sometimes a healthy dose of raw, anguished powerviolence is needed to channel one's own misery... and move beyond it.

For that brand of blackened medicine, we recommend DONE and their "Rest to Rust" EP.

For our second video of the week, we're proud to present Torn Cloak's first album, a lovely ambient fantasy release for the yearning minds.

A mysterious sonic palette of comfortable proportion, as if cushioned by a gentle stream of dreams and hopes.

Trans people are real human people. Trans rights are literally just human rights. Trans people matter. Say it loudly.

There are few like Lammoth in the realm of Hobbit-themed black metal. Want an adventure? They have you covered, lest you not be a merry fellow.

Many thanks to @lammoth.bsky.social for their kindness and for lending us their jolly tunes.

Deer across the world are currently enjoying Feijoa Tree's first album "A Day in the Life", and maybe you should too.

Gorgeous release and also the inaugural Brathory video on the channel, thanks to @pretendeer.bsky.social kind approval to have it featured here!
