Ashbringer was established in 2014 by Nick Stanger with the solo-recorded debut LP Vacant (Avantgarde Music). The project was soon expanded into a full band to tour the United States and Canada. Subsequent releases Yūgen (2016, Avantgarde Music, Vendetta) and Absolution (2019, Prosthetic) further expanded on their kaleidoscopic sound, combining elements of black metal, post-rock, folk, noise and ambient music.

With their lineup now fully solidified, Ashbringer continue to evolve into a sound uniquely their own, drawing from an expansive palette to craft their most experimental yet accessible release to date: We Came Here To Grieve.

The idea of Terranaut was formulated deep within a great forest preserve in Chicago around late 2007. Nieko, the band founder, conjured the idea of establishing a Black Metal band writing half a dozen songs and partnering with Keith, a close friend, on the songwriting. The band’s humble beginnings was held under the banner of Dark Sodomy, though thoughts of going in a more serious direction lead to adopting the name of Terranaut in 2008. The name Terranaut became a fitting representation of the Earth-oriented and indigenous motifs found in the lyrics and art of the band.

After a period of inactivity in 2013/2014, original vocalist Alan rejoined the band and also acquiring a new member for bass duties in Patrick. Unfinished tracks became the focus of the band and are set to release an EP/Full Length in 2015.
