Album 2019
"Усход-Захад" (Lat. Uskhod-Zahad, Eng. East-West)
The second album, released in Novemder 2019, exemplified the musical maturity the band achieved. National motives were unusually presented in modern arrangements of Ruslan Hleborodov, a guitarist and composer. The tracks became more proficient and distinct due to the performers’ deeper approach to the voices and musical instruments sound. The album includes 8 tracks. Calm, acoustic songs coexist with explosive, rich instruments and compositions. A distinctive feature of the album is that all the songs are singles.

Album 2016
1. “Скарб” (Lat. Skarb, Eng.Treasure)
Скарб (Treasure), the first album of Belaruskaya Brama, was officially released in January 2016. It can be characterized as a new look at the folk music of Belarus. The musicians did recording, mixing and mastering on their own, so the work went on for 5 years. The band had to overcome serious difficulties. Incomplete demos accidentally became available in the Internet. In 2013, they were sold in numerous copies. Musicians have no serious experience in the distribution of music, which inevitably affected the results. In 2019, Scarb was re-uploaded for release to ONErpm music distribution service. The track-list includes 12 tracks.
