Forged in the Crypt

Stronghold pioneers the fusion of underground black metal with Web3 and blockchain. As one of the first to distribute physical CDs, vinyls, cassettes, and merch using cryptocurrency, we empower the horde with decentralized freedom, exclusive NFT collections, and a new era of metal sovereignty.

Guardians of the Ancient Flame

Ancient Slavic symbols and fire

From the primordial fires of our ancestors, we honor the eternal flame that burns within the heart of European soil. Stronghold stands as a sentinel for those who refuse to let the ancient ways perish in the shadow of modernity's hollow embrace.

We venerate the bands who carry the torch of Slavic pride and European heritage - the keepers of pagan metal, folk, ambient, and RAC who dare to sing the forgotten hymns of sun worship and ancestral wisdom. Their music echoes through the sacred groves where our forefathers once walked.

"You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?"

— Friedrich Nietzsche

Legacy of the Abyss

Legacy of the Abyss

From the shadowed crypts of metal's genesis, where the first black metal hymns were etched onto vinyls, cassettes, and CDs, Stronghold honors the ancient initiates of the underground. With reverence for the past, we carry the flame of tradition into a new era of rebellion. As pioneers in the global distribution of music, we transcend borders, delivering our unholy relics to nearly every corner of the world. Yet, our gaze is fixed on the future. Embracing the cryptic power of Web3 and cryptocurrency, we forge a path where freedom reigns supreme—no censorship, no control, only the raw, untamed spirit of metal. Join us in this eternal pact, where legacy and innovation unite in the abyss.
