Says the band: “Grab your swords, our debut album »The Land Beyond The Forest« is finally here! Available on Bandcamp, coming soon to most streaming services!

This album has riffs and atmosphere, blending heavy metal, doom metal, goth, and rock. The artwork was drawn by our vocalist/guitarist Nik Williams and takes inspiration from 70s/80s fantasy sword and sorcery movie posters.”

Beastbane is a dark heavy metal and goth rock band based in the Arizona desert. Formed in 2025 by vocalist/guitarist Nik Williams and bassist Blake Bitter, the project draws heavily on cinematic themes and classic horror. Their sound blends traditional heavy metal, doom metal, and goth rock, heavily influenced by legendary acts like Type O Negative, Black Sabbath, Danzig, and Bathory.

Beastbane developed a reputation for combining theatrical, goth-infused aesthetics with uncompromising, heavy guitar work. The lyrical themes and visuals are inspired by fantasy, horror, folklore, and nature.
