Weasel Knight
About
From Obscurity....
In 2026, workers renovating a decommissioned beef processing plant in rural Wales discover a sealed wooden crate concealed inside a false wall. The crate contains a strange archive connected to a nearly forgotten late-1960s / early-1970s band called Weasel Knight: original master tapes, acetates, lyric sheets, stage diagrams, posters, photographs, legal notices, correspondence fragments, and damaged ledgers.
...To Legends
The recovered material points to a bizarre but compelling act first formed in 1961 in Planken, Liechtenstein as Weasel Nite — a mod-psychedelic, Beatles-adjacent four-man group that later mutated into the darker, stranger, medievalized act known as Weasel Knight. What began as “the boys from Planken” became something later collectors would describe as psychedelic tavern metal.
Discography
Beneath a Gallows Moon
The debut is pure tavern metal: loud, crude, and half-mad with ale, smoke, and battlefield mythology. Beneath a Gallows Moon is an audio assault of Moors, Celts, broken oaths, and mud-caked revenge — the sound of four young men discovering that folk horror, medieval violence, and overdriven amplifiers belonged in the same room. Raw, theatrical, and gloriously unrefined, it is the record where Weasel Knight first crawled out of the tavern cellar and into legend.
Bleakwater Fields
By Bleakwater Fields, Weasel Knight had grown stranger, colder, and more ambitious. The songs stretch outward into marshland: longer forms, darker textures, flute passages, organ drones, acoustic interludes, and sudden eruptions of iron-heavy riffing. It is the band experimenting with sound and style without losing the mud on their boots — progressive, haunted, and windswept, like a ruined chapel sinking slowly into rain-black water.
Throne of Cinders
The seminal Weasel Knight album. Throne of Cinders is the sound of a band fully aware of its own power: confident, severe, and finally unafraid to absorb every influence that had been circling the fire. Blues, gospel, psychedelia, folk, goth, and tavern metal all collapse into one burned-black crown. It is less a record than a coronation after the kingdom has already fallen — the band at its peak, five members in dark harmony, moments before the whole thing turned to ash.
