Happy Samhainn, heathens! It's somehow been four years since we released our debut album, which has absolutely flown past. A huge thank you for all the support since then🖤 We're on track for getting into the studio for album 3 before the end of the year, will keep you posted! #metalsky

A massive thank you to everyone who came out for Hordes X at the weekend, what an atmosphere! You really brought the energy, we loved the Deathless pit for the encore 🤘

I’m late to the party, but grateful now to have joined. Corryvreckan by @handofkalliach.bsky.social is at once ethereal, folky, atmospheric and brutal. It is a gem of an album. Well, well worth a listen. 🤘🎵❤️

#Melodeath, are you OK Gary? An out there one for me but wonderful, beautiful people making some heavy atmospheric music with Scottish themes really hits the spot for me.

At number 11 on the list is Corryvreckan by Hand of Kalliach. Husband and wife John and Sophie Fraser blew me away with their unique sound. Sophie's beautiful ethereal vocals contrast wonderfully with John's guttural growls in this triumph of Gaelic folk laden death metal #MetalSky #AOTY2024

Never listened to @handofkalliach.bsky.social before (I think), but Folk/MeloDeath sounds like my kind of stuff!

This killer @handofkalliach.bsky.social album was my soundtrack for working Black Friday and it made today that much better. It’s brutal and gorgeous and I highly recommend checking them out!
