Indigenous solo black metal project Blackbraid surprises fans with a brand-new EP, Nocturnal Womb, which will be independently released worldwide this Friday, March 6. To celebrate, Blackbraid premieres the new single, “Celestial Bloodlust,” along with a dynamic performance video. The video was created by Moshmallows during Blackbraid’s recent performance at Kollektivet Livet Bar & Scen in Stockholm (SE) and features many of Blackbraid’s ravenous Swedish fans.
“Nocturnal Womb” and “Celestial Bloodlust” were the tracks too dark and visceral to fit the story of Blackbraid III. They exist on their own outside of the album trilogy via a standalone EP, which also contains an acoustic instrumental rendition of “Barefoot Ghost Dance On Blood Soaked Soil.” With the EP release imminent, sales sand shipping both start today. Nocturnal Wound can be ordered now via Blackbraid.us and Blackbraid.eu.
Blackbraid will also soon be headlining the UK and Ireland from April 9 – 14, 2026, in which he will be supported by Winterfylleth + Noctem. In addition, Blackbraid has a number of upcoming festival appearances in Europe. Find dates and tickets here.
Blackbraid is a solo indigenous black metal project from the depths of the Adirondack wilderness creating music as raw and powerful as the mountains from whence it came…
