Emerging from the distant Black Hills and the shadowed arteries of Durango, Brayhex and Music Distroyer converge on this split recording — a sonic testament to black metal’s raw core. Captured on January 4, 2026 at Fifth Funeral Records in conjunction with Death Portal Studios, this album is a collaboration between two singular creative forces.

At its heart are Sam L. (Dhikkaar) and Anthony M. (Music Distroyer) — both polymath artists whose practice spans painting, visual craft, instrumentation, and sonic extremity. Their partnership on this record is not merely a meeting of metal minds; it is a ritual of sound, image, and atmosphere.

Across analog sessions steeped in shadows and distortion, they summon forward a brutal yet evocative listening experience — where blast beats, guttural incantations, tremolo storms, and ritualistic textures collide. Backup guitar contributions by Duke W. (Full Frontal Lobotomy) augment the sonic palette, adding a razor’s edge to the album’s feral core.

This record stands as a testament to craftsmanship in underground metal — a handcrafted relic for devotees of unfiltered intensity.

Born from the ashen soil of South Dakota’s Black Hills, Brayhex is a black metal manifestation devoted to sonic decay, spiritual corrosion, and the worship of war.
Equal parts ritual and ruin, Brayhex crafts hymns for the end — raw, hostile, and unrepentantly primitive.

Brayhex is: the sound of iron dragged through dirt, the sermon of a dying world.
