Coscradh

Coscradh (Irish for "massacre" or "triumph in slaughter") is a Dublin, Ireland-based black/death metal band formed in 2015. They are known for a savage, atmospheric, and historically rooted sound that blends raw black metal aggression, death metal heaviness, war metal influences, and occasional Celtic/Gaelic atmospheric touches.

The band draws heavily from Irish history, mythology, violence, death, and ancient events, often incorporating Gaelic language in lyrics and titles. Their music is characterized by long, epic track lengths (frequently 7–10+ minutes), glacial/doomy passages, dissonant riffs, blasting sections, and a sense of ritualistic brutality. It sits in the more extreme and hideous corners of black/death, with comparisons to war metal and atmospheric extremity, while remaining distinctly Irish in character.
