Has anyone posted about Great Lakes Dungeon Siege III here? Anyway, GLDS III is happening and it's gonna rock. See you there!

Tape batch #2 is live! Neoclassical folk and warm medieval keyboards courtesy of Taurwen and Swordcerer. Available on Ampwall & Bandcamp. ampwall.com/a/cavebirdre... cavebirdrecords.bandcamp.com/merch

Cave Bird Records tape batch #2 drops tomorrow! Thank you for all the support <3

Releasing this Friday April 3rd. Swordcerer's "A September Night's Dream" conjures warm neomedieval melodies and danceable vignettes from different moments in time. The hooks will FOR SURE get stuck in your head and you'll be humming them after a listen. That's been my experience at least <3

The next Cave Bird tape drop is this Friday April 3rd! Taurwen's Palingenesia brings us gorgeous neoclassical folk that teaches us to embrace our earthly lives fully and to live in harmony with the natural world. We are not only the inheritors of the past but also the creators of the future.

Wanderhall - Winter Wanderland (Cave Bird Records/Waldonian Sounds, 2026) @fenmosianfiresteel.bsky.social @cavebirdrecords.bsky.social Winter synth is a genre enjoyed all-year round, especially with an album as good as this ❄️ #dungeonsynth #comfysynth #dungeonsynthtapes #wintersynth #cassette

Fen and/or Moss fact of the day, a Fen is a type of peat-accumulating wetland fed by mineral-rich ground or surface water, resulting in their soil usually being more alkaline than a bog or marsh

Big thank you to everyone who bought some tapes or liked/commented/shared the posts this week <3 Reminder that Cave Bird Records is open for submissions of Ambient, Black Metal, Dungeon Synth, Funeral Doom and related genres. No AI. No fash. No rude people >:( Enjoy your weekend!~

My split with my dear friend, @cavebirdrecords.bsky.social is finally available! Tapes available @fiadh.bsky.social or snag the digital from either of our bandcamps. Hope you like it 🌲💜🌲 treegardener.bandcamp.com/album/tales-...

The first two tapes are now live on Bandcamp & Ampwall! Ambient, wintery, dungeon synth-y tales from Angel and Wanderhall. Thank you for the support! ampwall.com/a/cavebirdre... cavebirdrecords.bandcamp.com/merch

The inaugural Cave Bird Records release day is tomorrow! Two excellent tapes from these wonderful artists. - Wanderhall "The Winter Collection: 1113" (dungeon/winter synth) - Angel "A Tale About You" (ambient/new age)

if ur trans and looking for a sign to start that black metal project, this is it yes, YOU 🫵🏻

Release Number 2! Angel has a comforting style that meanders from minimal drone compositions to new-age atmospheres. A Tale About You serves as a memorial to loved ones past, hoping to preserve precious memories and a belief in the existence of better days beyond the ultimate tragedy.

First release drop this Friday March 13th! The Winter Collection: 1113 by Wanderhall (@fenmosianfiresteel.bsky.social). Fantasy synth/progressive electronic. Side A is the wintry comfy synth sophomore effort, Winter Wanderland. Side B contains last spring's debut record, Dreams in the Gnome House.

I like pretty things. I also like plants. So I made a backdrop for the Cave Bird Records releases. Here's the first 'official' shoot. If you're able, get out into nature this weekend <3

FOREST DWELLERS! You really showed up for us yesterday. Thank you so much to anyone that bought something, listened to our music, shared a post... anything! You are the best! It may no longer be Bandcamp Friday, but let's keep it going! hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/enter-... #metalsky

The third and final feature of DS Sunday today is the magnificent dungeon kosmische of Desolation Plains @dungeon.bsky.social new album, Celestial Sorcery The sounds of musty crypts of ancient myth, flung to the farthest reaches of an uncharted galaxy ✨💫⚔️ youtu.be/zGqEjd71utQ

Thanks to everyone who's enjoying the new album so far. To those with time tomorrow morning, I'm also doing a listening party for it. Stop by if you dare to hear some tales of frozen sorrow... (and hang out with the nerds) #dungeonsynth #fantasysynth waldoniansounds.bandcamp.com/merch/reckon...

A recording of my performance last Saturday, as ripped from the soundboard. Tree Gardener & Desolation Plains had incredible performances, so support them as well <3 cavebirdrecords.bandcamp.com/album/live-a... ampwall.com/a/woodenvess... treegardener.bandcamp.com desolationplains.bandcamp.com

Reminder that I'm playing my first live in-person show as Wooden Vessels this Saturday Jan 31 in Minneapolis. 6:30pm doors. All ages. $15 to get in, which is all donated to a local food shelf. The show is also a food drive, and we'll have a tea bar (and tapes for sale!). See ya there!

Are you sick of fascism? Does all of the news lately make you sick to your stomach? Do you wonder how you can make a difference? Create - paint, write stories, make music. Tell these stories in a way that only you can express. Pour your anger & frustrations in them. Do it. I dare you.

NEW VIDEO! Wooden Vessels - Dagorby Pomme's Magickal Emporium Release: November 1, 2025 Genre: Dungeon Synth

Milestone reached: there are enough releases for the first few small batches. I'd still love some more album submissions though! Ambient, Black Metal, Dungeon Synth, Funeral Doom (or related genres). Thank you to everyone involved with this so far <3

Cave Bird Records echoes this sentiment.

a band will write ten paragraphs that mean nothing instead of saying “i hate nazis”

I'd love to hear who some of your favorite lesser-known Black Metal & Funeral Doom artists are. My picks will be in the comment section.

Cave Bird Records' submissions are open for Ambient, Black Metal, Dungeon Synth, Funeral Doom (or related genres). Bonus points for under-represented communities (women, Queer, POC, etc). Thanks for all the interest so far <3 cavebirdrecords [at] gmail [dot] com Ampwall & Bandcamp links in bio.

Greetings in the New Year. Cave Bird Records is now accepting black metal, dungeon synth, and funeral doom submissions for the inaugural cassette releases. New & unreleased music only, please. As an aside, I'm brand new to this so impatient & rude people need not apply :)

Looking back at 2025 I realize just how fleeting life can be. May 2026 be better so we can step up our game to bring more whimsy & weird & wonder into the world <3

In the spirit of giving, my new release, 'The Very Best of Wooden Vessels 2021-2025', includes 12 solo studio albums and some bonus unreleased material. All of this for only $1. But since I'm a little demon the catch is they're all playing at the same time. Enjoy! <3 ampwall.com/a/woodenvess...

It is my great pleasure to announce my first local Tree Gardener show! And I am beyond delighted to be able to share the stage with my two dear friends, @dungeon.bsky.social and @cavebirdrecords.bsky.social

This year Fiadh will take part in an annual set of lugubrious tales to share - hopefully around a warm hearth and in good company! 🎄 A collection of 8 songs inspired by a variety of ghostly tales: some classic, others, wholly original; and a few even based off of real-life experiences...

Currently considering opening the label to submissions sometime in 2026 for dungeon synth, black metal, funeral doom, and ambient artists. Maybe some stuff that's really 'out there', too. Likely tape only. What do you all think? Any veteran labels have advice for a newcomer? Thanks <3
