Stormkeep

Stormkeep is a Denver-based atmospheric black metal act shrouded in frosty mystery, known for crafting fantasy epics through swirling guitars and synth-drenched soundscapes. These anonymous musicians burst onto the underground metal scene with their 2020 demo *Galdrum*, then fully realized their sword-and-sorcery vision with 2021’s debut album *Tales of Othertime* via Ván Records. Drawing equal inspiration from icy Scandinavian second-wave black metal and Dungeons & Dragons-style worldbuilding, they pack their music with icy tremolo riffs, ethereal keyboards, and lyrics about forgotten realms and arcane battles. While they keep their identities as hidden as the mythical relics in their songs, Stormkeep’s blend of raw aggression and dungeon synth grandeur has cemented them as cult favorites for metalheads who like their blast beats served with a side of dragonfire.
