Another strong review for Ashbringer's Subglacial, courtesy of @heavyblog.bsky.social

"Subglacial shows Ashbringer coming to grips with returning to the most triumphant iteration of their sound in many ways, while continuing to evolve & refine their sound."

Subglacial’s frozen glimmer still shines most brightly in the moments it refracts the vulnerable, plaintive and gorgeous tones of Ashbringer’s roots.

My schedule's opening up a bit in a few weeks. If anyone has some music they're making to benefit Minneapolis and/or people negatively impacted by the fascist nightmare we're facing, I'd be happy to do some pro-bono mixing and/or mastering. Hit me up with your project and let's talk details.

@negativebliss.com is one of the only bands I'm involved in that you wouldn't really ever use the words "black metal" to describe

However, I did manage to convince Jon to play blast beats at a few points in this song 😈

If you listen to one thing today, listen to this

And also, take note of what @allieinchains.bsky.social says about lyrics here. Even if you're not usually a "lyrics person" (like myself) try your darndest to understand them here, or take a 10 minutes to read them if you can't read while listening
We didn't get to 100, but close enough for government work so Ive gone ahead and released the preorder - whole album is up

And despite obnoxious metalsky discourse...lyrics do matter

They are critical to this release

I am begging you to hear and listen

It's a tremendous honor for your music to be considered any sort of comfort after someone loses a loved one.

Thank you for the amazing outpouring of support we've had with our shirts!

We still have a decent number of Larges remaining

As far as the other sizes (Small, Medium, XL, and 2XL) we only have 2 or 3 of each

So if you're small, medium, XL, or 2XL, order soon!

A little late, but we went to see Katatonia and Opeth on Thursday.

It was particularly awesome because we took our son with us!

It was his first indoor metal show!

Seconded. This whole thing has blossomed into more than I ever imagined and more than we ever initially planned.

Tremendous, unending gratitude and props to @vikingguitar.bsky.social for his incredible mixing and mastering skills.
Just had the first listen through the mixed and mastered @eveale.bsky.social album.
Holy shit this thing is so good if I do say so myself.
So proud of what @neastwizardtyrant.bsky.social and I have achieved here and I'm so SO excited to share it with you all.
