Extreme metal unit Dragsholm fire the first shot from their upcoming debut From The Bloodlines of Bram with the release of “I Am the Impaler.” Out March 20th 2026 via Faithless Entertainment, the record delivers a cold, razor-edged hybrid of black and death metal aimed squarely at fans of classic brutality.
Prepare yourselves for a sonic onslaught as DRAGSHOLM unveil their highly anticipated debut album THE BLOODLINES OF BRAM, set to release on March 20th, 2026 via Faithless Entertainment. This blackened death metal juggernaut promises to drag the genre back into the crypt, invigorating fans with its raw intensity and unrelenting brutality.
Leading the charge is the blistering new single “I Am the Impaler,” which showcases DRAGSHOLM’s evolution from their origins as a black metal assault force to a full-blown war engine. With a lineup that includes the formidable G.B. on drums, Brendan Schleim Daly wielding the guitar, and the addition of Gravelord in 2025, the band has crafted a barbaric hybrid of black and death metal that invokes the spirits of legends like Belphegor and Deicide. Lyrically inspired by classic horror cinema and gothic literature, their music envelopes listeners in a cold, shadow-drenched atmosphere that has become a rarity in modern extreme metal.
The album THE BLOODLINES OF BRAM is a testament to DRAGSHOLM’s refined sound, featuring razor-sharp riffs, relentless blast beats, and ritualistic vocal assaults that stand toe-to-toe with the genre’s heavy hitters. Recorded at Backroom Studios and expertly produced, mixed, and mastered by Scot Moriarty, the album captures the ferocity of DRAGSHOLM’s live performances without any gimmicks or gloss—just pure, pitch-black extremity rooted in tradition.
For fans of:
– Deicide
– Immortal
