Brontide was a British instrumental rock band known for their dynamic and intricately woven soundscapes, which combined heavy riffs with math rock elements and atmospheric melodies. The band was comprised of members Tim Hancock on guitar, William Bowerman on drums, and Nathan Fairweather on bass. Their approach to music was characterized by a meticulous layering of instruments, creating a powerful, immersive experience that defied the need for traditional vocals.

The band's discography began with the release of their self-titled EP "Brontide" which demonstrated their penchant for brooding, expansive tracks that hinted at the potential they would later fulfill. They soon followed up with their critically acclaimed debut album, "Sans Souci," in 2011, showcasing a mature, refined sound and earning them recognition within the post-rock and experimental music scenes. The EP "Coloured Tongues" and the relentless single "Holy Monsters" reaffirmed their status as sonic innovators, teasing what was to come. Their last known release, "Artery," dropped in 2014, further solidifying their reputation for crafting complex, emotive, and thunderous instrumental epics. Despite their relatively quiet discography, Brontide's impact and cult following continue to echo in the world of avant-garde rock music.
