Brundarkh is a melodic death metal project inspired by dark fantasy stories and founded in late 2020 by Heino Brand. Shortly after he was joined by Caleb Bingham and they released their first single Wraith Dominion. The track featured a guest solo by guitarist, Jori Haukio of Mors Principium Est and dealt with the Ringwraiths from J.R.R. Tolkien's, "The Lord Of The Rings". During 2021 they produced the EP Haunted Worlds, mixed at Nightmare Sound and mastered by Thomas "Plec" Johansson of The Panic Room. The tracks Tower Of Blood and Bells Of The Drowned explored the stories of Elizabeth Bathory and the video game Diablo IV. Their new album Those Born Of Fire And Shadow is inspired by places and characters from Tolkien's literary work, "The Silmarillion". The album features guest artists from Wolfheart, Before The Dawn, Dawn of Solace, Mors Principium Est, and Eternal Tears Of Sorrow. The music blends melodic death metal, black metal, doom metal, and symphonic metal. It is sure to be a dark and dreadfully dangerous journey through Middle-Earth.
