Bristol, always a pleasure! Many thanks to @m2tmbristol for having us down to perform, and it was a treat to see some of your talented upcoming bands perform as part of the initiative. The city is always in bullish health!
We've got some down-time now before we focus on curating our sets for our next shows starting at the end of July, so we'll be continuing to track album 3 and posting teasers within our stories in the interim. If you enjoy spoilers, that's where you'll need to cast your eyes and ears to!
Speaking of Bristol, we'll be back at the end of August for @bristolextremefest - different setlist including some surprises. With @rottingchristofficial 's only UK summer appearance, our friends in @fuathmusic & @theinfernalsea alongside plenty of other luminaries of extremity, availability isn't going to last an awful lot longer. Hint.... hint...
In the interim, enjoy these incredible captures by the talented @connorstandfieldphotography 🖤

‼️ It's Bandcamp Friday today, and Brendan wants to know why you haven't bought all of our merchandise yet? ‼️
Recording albums is expensive. Appease Brendan by purchasing our wares, or we'll send James to stand outside your house and gaze inward soullessly until you submit 👀

Also, we have now launched our Print on Demand store on our website. Additional garments from cropped hoodies, vest tops, women's fit tees and... socks... now available.

🔥@m2tmbristol - You're next!🔥
A big thanks to @queenshallnuneaton for having us perform yesterday at Nuneaton. A truly special venue with some proper local talent on stage 🖤 though the impromptu Macarena pits were definitely a new one for us. Congratulations go to @breakertheband for securing their spot in their final.
In two weeks, we mark our first return to Bristol in a year headlining their first Semi Final, performing after the competing bands. Bristol has always welcomed us fondly, and we're looking forward to sharing our new line-up and some new material with you.
🎟 are available - though we don't expect that to stay that way for long!
See you very soon 🖤

🌕ARTIST FEATURE🌕
From the first scrapings of pick against wound string, @ofnusabm ’s direction became apparent. To fuse the dynamic, often bleak and sometimes saw-toothed harshness of atmospheric black metal, with the broad and sweeping melodies of modern-classic film score, with a vision to take you on a journey of unfathomable introspection. Through vast and evocative soundscapes that veer between sullen and monumental, exploring themes of grief, inexplicable fears and maladies, Ofnus seek to bring you to your Nadir and back to that sweet, sweet catharsis.
For fans of: Grima, Emperor, Can Bardd, Saor, Ihsahn, White Ward
🔥Live Video - Ofnus at @bloodstockopenair 2025🔥
We have been eagerly awaiting the release of this video, and we're proud to finally announce that our full performance at last year's sold out Bloodstock is live on their YouTube channel.
Comfortably our largest show to date, we crammed as much as we could into the 30minutes that most memorable of Friday mornings. Relive that with us now via the link in our comments, or via our Live section on our website.
Set List:
1. The Shattering (Valediction)
2. Throes of Agony (Valediction)
3. Grains of Sand (Time held me grey and dying)
4. Zenith Dolour (Valediction)

On reflection, we have come to realise that we haven't got anything planned in locally at present. So we're rectifying that.
At the tail end of July, we will be headlining the Friday at @greenroomswales 17th anniversary festival, just up the road in Treforest. It's a full weekend full of local acts and bands travelling over to Wales, so good opportunity to make a weekend of it.
Currently, this is our only locally booked show this year, and we may have some new treats in store...
Misery loves company - and for our local fans, we'd love yours 🖤

Well... we tried.
We tried to take a serious post-rehearsal photo to encourage you to come and see us at April Black Mass in Banbury next week...
We tried to not ruin every photo in some way as repeated attempts descended further into chaos...
We tried this whole "content" shtick, because we do want to encourage you to come and share a day of black metal and misery with us and a heap of other great UK bands...
But we failed. We are only human.
Saturday April 4th. @wheatsheaf.banbury - loads of bands, bags of riffs and great company. We'll be there too.
Join us, it's going to be outstanding 🖤
