Blackbraid comments, “Today I am very pleased to announce that I have partnered with Fire in the Mountains to curate an exclusive pre-release event for my forthcoming full length ‘Blackbraid III.’ Festival goers will have the opportunity to hear the album in its entirety ahead of its release. I am extremely proud of this album and absolutely cannot wait to share it with you, and I couldn’t think of a more perfect place to debut it than this beautiful festival deep in the heart of Blackfeet Nation territory. Very grateful to be a part of Fire In The Mountains, see you there!”
Fire in the Mountains will take place in Montana from July 25-27, 2025 at the Red Eagle Campground on the Blackfeet Nation Reserve. Artists who have already been confirmed to perform include Blackbraid, Wardruna, Old Man’s Child, Blood Incantation, and more, with additional bands TBA.

Blackbraid recently released a cover of the Abbath song “Warriors” (https://youtu.be/iBUinuMfU88) which was originally featured on the 2006 album “Between Two Worlds.” Now, Blackbraid gives this song his own twist. Blackbraid II can now be streamed everywhere or ordered via Bandcamp (https://blackbraid.bandcamp.com/) or The Official Blackbraid Merch Store (https://blackbraid.us/collections/all)
Blackbraid is a solo indigenous black metal project from from the depths of the Adirondack wilderness creating music as raw and powerful as the mountains from whence it came.
