Good news, friends. Our CDs, beanies and patches are available again on our official store. That itch you've had to grab us by the jewel case can now be scratched: https://store.belakor.net/

We remember Myspace being awesome for bands, and then slowly becoming a dumpster fire. Facebook seems to be on the decline and becoming a bit more buggy than it used to be. What do you guys feel is the best platform for bands and their fans these days?

Song writing distractions. We hope the new tunes won't have this effect on you all.

Album #5 update: - 43 minutes of music so far written - 15 (ish) minutes of music still to write, with many ideas on the go - Likely to have 8 tracks - Aiming to begin recording around October-November if all goes to plan \m/ *Tranquil wall art included only to provide juxtaposition for Shaun's somewhat less tranquil hair.

Only 3 days left to grab CDs, beanies or patches from our official store before they're unavailable for *several* weeks! (shirts and hoodies will remain available). If you've been planning a purchase, jump in by April 16! The place to go is http://store.belakor.net

Still making riffs. New music is really coming together. (This is the face of a man who agrees that the new music is really coming together).

Um... what? WARNING: These are NOT official merch items! Who knew bootlegged merch could be so bad? :p Should we be offended? Flattered? Amused? Oh well. What sorts of new merch should we *actually* make for our store?

TWO goodies for you guys! This new hand-drawn 'Of Breath and Bone' T-shirt is now available in our official store! To celebrate, for one week (until January 20) you can also head to our Bandcamp to get 50% off the dynamic vinyl re-master download for Of Breath and Bone - just enter the code "earcandy" for that deal.

10 years on hey? Holy hell. Cheers to Metal Insider for giving a shout out to Stone's Reach, ranking it fourth in their 'top ten exceptional albums turning ten' list: https://www.metalinsider.net/lists/metal-insiders-top-10-exceptional-albums-turning-ten-in-2019/2

New merch provider sorted! Tees are available again in our store over at belakorband.com, so go spend all your Christmas cash! New designs coming soon too.

You guys rule. Looking forward to bringing you a new batch of ear-worms soon!

Well that's just nuts. 2018 on spotify... thanks for listening guys!

Jamming the newest song. Ten minutes of riffage.

What a nice cover of Husks! Thanks for this Costas! What do you think guys, should we do another all-acoustic track on album number 5? https://bit.ly/2QA1Re8

For a short time, t-shirts and hoodies are SOLD OUT on our official webstore (https://store.belakor.net/) while we transition to a new supplier. Thanks for the patience guys! You can still grab CDs, beanies and other goodies direct from us at this store. More news soon.

Lovingly re hand-drawn to capture all the details, this Stone's Reach art is now available on a t-shirt! You know where to head to grab yours! (But in case you don't... the answer is our official store at https://store.belakor.net/ ).

*IF* we toured to the 15 cities that listened to us the MOST on Spotify in the past 28 days, that tour, in order, would be: 1. Helsinki 2. Stockholm 3. Istanbul 4. Mexico City 5. Oslo 6. Santiago 7. London 8. Los Angeles 9. Montreal 10. Chicago 11. Paris 12. Gothenburg (Yes! MDM's home) 13. Hamburg 14. Dallas 15. Tampere Some proper frequent flyer points there.

So, by now, you guys probably know that our drummer Elliott has about twelve arms and eight legs, and drums in four bands. One of those bands is Future Corpse - and they have dropped a killer new album (their second), called "Culture Ruins Everything Around Me." It's a super creative 45 minutes of eclectic prog metal/post-hardcore. And how about that album art! You can listen, download and purchase it here: https://futurecorpse.bandcamp.com/ If you're based in Melbourne, you can also catch them at their album launch tomorrow night, Friday the 20th, at the Reverence Hotel https://facebook.com/events/157065701660718/

Steve had a chat with A&p-REACTS over the weekend, discussing song writing, Vessels, touring and (not our suggestion!) turning Countless Skies into Australia's national anthem... among other things! Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OvhSX3AGak&feature=youtu.be
