Beithíoch is a metal band from Derry, formed in 2002. Their name comes from the Irish word for “beast,” symbolizing the instinctive and feral elements of humanity.
Musically, they blend black, death, and doom metal with dark ambient atmospheres. Their early work leaned more into ambient black metal, but over time they developed a heavier and more dynamic crossover sound.
Lyrically and thematically, Beithíoch often explores Celtic culture, heroism, and war, weaving evocative storytelling into their music. Notable releases include Ghosts of a World Long Forgotten (2016), Storms of War (2017), and Beowulf (2023).
