I knew it was coming, but still cried when I got the link today. I am so fucking happy and feel like a real publicist after feeling so stagnated for a while. So proud of Blackbraid and all we have accomplished together!

Meet Blackbraid, a Black Metal Musician With Native American Roots (Published 2023)

Sgah’gahsowáh, the artist behind the one-man band, combines the genre’s traditional heavy sounds with a focus on nature. His new album, “Blackbraid II,” is out Friday.
