Album:

Formed in 2012 by Zora Cock, René Boxem, Bart Winters and Frank Akkerman, they crafted their first single in 2014 with "Ready To Kill", but it was 2015's second single "Until Eternity" that truly propelled them into the scene. A sweeping track with an equally compelling and beautiful video, it continues to draw many to the act with over 20 million views since its debut. Taking advantage of the growing buzz surrounding the band, they independently recorded and released their first EP, "Fractured Fairytales", as well as acquiring a second guitarist in Robin Koezen. This EP layed down an impressive foundation for the band's ethereal and breathtaking sound and brought about new opportunities for the act, including tour dates in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Hungary and more, where the band played alongside Epica, Halestorm, In This Moment, Delain and MaYan.

Album:

Dear Thorns, come and die A Thousand Little Deaths with us - our third full-length album is arriving this summer! This new chapter of Blackbriar fills our hearts and souls with a new sense of exhilaration and passion. The writing process has taken us to places of our past, and into exciting new creative territory. Now, we’re almost ready to share it with you. Lyrically, Zora noticed a recurring theme of death weaving through the songs, inspiring the album title early on. While A Thousand Little Deaths isn’t a concept album in the traditional sense, a secret, personal red thread connects many of these songs. We can’t wait for you to experience it.Expect even more big things for Blackbriar as 2025 continues along. With YouTube streams now reaching 71 million views and over 253,000 subscribers, and equally massive Spotify stats including a total of over 65 million streams, with over 190,000 monthly listeners who contribute to 1 million streams a month and 12 million streams per year, the world has taken notice of their distinctively macabre yet whimsical sense of metallic storytelling. Prepare to wrap yourself up in their seductive siren songs, and expect to be swept away on an unforgettable journey.
