The Gods have bestowed their favor upon us, as we introduce our new associates in caffeine therapy, Seven Spires

FROM THE ARTIST:

"We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership between Seven Spires and Blakhart Coffee, as well as the arrival of our signature coffee roast, “Lightbringer”! As the name suggests, this is on the lighter side of roasts, with all of the health and flavor benefits that come with making coffee this way (including slightly higher caffeine levels).

Every aspect of working on “Lightbringer” with Blakhart has been impressive, from their knowledge of the nuances of sourcing and roasting beans, to their eco-friendly and sustainable approach to manufacturing and packaging their products.

We meticulously taste tested several roasts personally, and we’ve settled on one that we’re extremely proud to put our name on. Anyone who knows us knows that we are big coffee drinkers, and we’re certain you’ll love this one as much as we do!"

We are stoked to release our first pairing with Australian vegan rock-n-roll vocalist Leah Martin-Brown with Evol Walks! She is definitely a rising star in the hard rock world and we are excited to collaborate with such a genuine and compassionate individual! A percentage of each sale goes to support Long Beach Animal Care Service in Southern California!

Rock and Roast is a medium, single origin Certified Organic bean.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be collaborating with Blakhart Coffee! Not only is their coffee delicious and hand selected but a % of the profits also go towards helping Animals in need x”

We are prout to present our collaboration with Vicky Psarakis for her very own Signature Dark Guatemalan Coffee aptly titled, “Blood Brewed”!

Watch her official video announcement Here.

Here’s what Vicky additionally had to say:

“I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am to finally share with you my very own SIGNATURE BREW!

Earlier in the year I had the immense pleasure to meet the mastermind behind Blakhart Coffee and after trying their ‘fees… I was hooked. It was a no brainer. I can’t thank them enough for feeding my caffeine addiction since and for welcoming me into their family!

Also, since my gigantic 20oz mug is almost sold out… I couldn’t resist and created a brand new “BLOOD BREWED” 15oz mug!

After creating multiple designs for me and my various projects in the past, my good friend Brad Geier is finally coming out of the shadows to take credit for his amazing work!

This is a rather lengthy post, but this has been months in the making with 2 of my very best friends and I’m just extremely sentimental presenting it to you!
Because HALLOWEEN can last all year round!”

From Adrienne, about her Blakhart 8 string, named COPPER POT:
"It’s so comfortable, I was also pleasantly surprised by the weight. For once I don’t feel intimidated, I can just play. Feels so nice to have something made for brutal low stuff in such a comfy Adrienne friendly package finally!!!"

We can't wait to hear what brutally heavy sad core comes from the Hart of this amazing innovative creator!

Completely stoked to have mixing, mastering engineer, and songwriter, Jack Kosto of Seven Spires and Threads of Fate officially playing BLAKHART GUITARS! He is the textbook definition of "Prodigy" being accepted into Berklee College of Music at age 15, graduating with a degree in Performance in the spring of 2016. Jack is heavily inspired by his longtime Berklee Guitar teacher Joe Stump, as well as Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy, Nevermore), Steve Vai, Michael Amott (Arch Enemy), and Joe Satriani. In just a few short years he has evolved into a monster of a metal guitar player and is our primary inspiration for the developement and creation of his signature seven string model, the JK-7.

Blakhart Guitars is honored to announce a true metal alliance with underground metal, punk and animal rights activist / musician Metal Mary Bielich. Mary has had an illustrious career as the go to multifaceted bassist hailing from the City of Iron AKA Pgh PA. With a list of associated acts under her belt that can rival a CVS register receipt, she has spent the better portion of her career laying down the 5 string thunder to a diverse roster of artists. From the first trail blazing and unique doom and death metal bands, to her current crust punk, hardcore, experimental crossover and metal projects a more seasoned, hardworking individual would be hard to come by. A factory trained "seitanic" auto mechanic by day and vegan animal rescuer by night, Metal Mary chose Blakhart Guitars to be her first ever endorsement, and we couldn't be more humbled to have this partnership.

"Hell froze over" -Metal Mary

"We are beyond stoked to have such a powerful, inspiring, dedicated artist and all around fantastic human on our roster, and can't wait to see what exciting new adventures Mary will go on!" -Z

Some highlights include:

MARCH 22, 2020

To all those in our metal family world wide: We are here in our 10th year of business as Blakhart Guitars and could not be more pleased with where you all and this industry have taken us. That being said we’ve been slowly ending all overseas production due to economical, technical as well as ethical reasons for the past year. Our plan has been to ramp up North American suppliers and build what we can here on our own continent. We want 100% control over quality, specifications and production logistics which we just can’t get to our standards from overseas being a small business. But... “The times are a changin” and we have seen a huge uptick in our partner business Blakhart Coffee and things on the rescue side including our collaborations with @Long Island Orchestrating for Nature - LION, @National Marine Life Center, @EVELYN'S WILDLIFE REFUGE, @AartworkOrg, @Dogs of Destiny- Lake Charles Pit Bull Rescue VA Chapter and others. What does this mean to anyone still reading??? Well, we are not going anywhere. We love Metal and all of you for playing in bands, supporting the industry and promoting this lifestyle. We want to put our resources where they are the most effective right now in a global crisis which means local medical staff, truck drivers, ems, transporters and suppliers. We also want to support the rescuers rehabbers and fosters in our network with volunteering and supplies as fast as we can get them. So, 50% of the profit from all instrument sales will go to one of several non-profits or staff from the above list via donation or supplies for the next few months. I will personally handle each transaction and you the buyer can select which recipient will benefit from the donation. This is where we are right now and how we will continue to work to be the most effective. We have new shapes, new models more diverse artists and more all in the works for when our world finally normalizes. Anyone with questions, ideas or suggestions can send us an email and we will get back to you ASAP. “Here is not where it ends but where we begin” Stay safe. Stay Metal. Don’t Panic.
