After a lot of shopping for a new label and little interest, they decided to create and release the "Black Death" LP themselves. For 5 years they worked hard in their Caverns of Thunder basement-studio.
After that, Brocas Helm made a couple of (unreleased) demos, mostly to get a label-deal so they could do a high-quality cd release. Meanwhile, although labels have showed some interest but not enough to actually sign Brocas Helm, Brocas Helm released the "Skullfucker" single.
Brocas Helm later released a live album, "Black Death in Athens", and a new opus, "Defender of the Crown".
In 2011 Brocas Helm announced their breakup at the German Keep It True festival. However, in May 2012 they performed at Ragnarokkr Metal Apocalypse in Joiliet, Illinois.

Brocas Helm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know
We know
That it's time to rock n' roll
I know
You know
We know
Heard it on the radio
Seen it on the streets
Drives my mother crazy
But oh how I love the beat
Nothin' else I'd rather do
There's nothin' else for me
Standing up in front of you
For all of you to see
We're here to rock
We're here to roll you
We're here to rock
We're here to rock n' roll
I know
You know
We know
That we're gonna tear the roof down
I know
You know
We know
That tonight it's comin' down
Comin' down
Heard it on the radio
Seen it on the streets
Drives my mother crazy
But oh how I love the beat
Nothin' else I'd rather do
Nothin' else for me
Heavy metal music's what I need
To set me free
We're here to rock
We're here to roll you
We're here to rock
We're here to rock and roll
Come on, come on, come on,
We're here to rock n' roll
