About Blackbraid:
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…
Blackbraid recently unveiled a pummeling live video for the song “Barefoot Ghost Dance on Blood Soaked Soil!” The clip was filmed during Blackbraid’s sold out performance at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, NY in conjunction with A Sortilege of Hell festival, which took place on October 7th, 2022! The clip can be found at THIS LOCATION.
The song is taken from Blackbraid’s debut full-length, Blackbraid I, which was released in the summer of 2022. The album can be ordered, downloaded, or streamed HERE.
Blackbraid I can be ordered via Bandcamp or The Official Blackbraid Merch Store.
