🖤 BLACKBRIAR Summon the Storm with New Single “Harpy” + Announce Album & TourA Thousand Little Deaths arrive August 22nd

“I’ve died a thousand little deaths, and I’ve got something you might like:
A carrion heart… will you take me on a flight?”

Dutch gothic storytellers BLACKBRIAR have unleashed their haunting new single “Harpy”, a soaring ode to the mythological spirit of wind and storm. Known in ancient lore for abducting those cursed by the gods, the harpy becomes both guide and symbol for a soul seeking release.

A chilling video will follow in the coming days…

Zora Cock (vocals) shares the personal darkness behind the song:

“In this song, I call upon a Harpy to please carry me away after I’ve died a thousand little deaths. I lure it with my carrion heart—after all, Harpies are known as human vultures. If not, I fear I might be stuck in the same place, slowly left eroding. I need to die one last time to finally be laid to rest. This song, ‘Harpy,’ inspired the album title.”
