lyrics
Dire Premonitions
The sea choked with filth
The sky unseen
Stolen lands lay ravaged
By manifest destiny
A feeling of dread
Permeates the air
To know we are dying
And only despair
But tonight we sing
Our feral siren song
Tomorrow we rise
And face the mournful dawn
The ancients lain low
They toss in their graves
Our children will starve
Infected by plague
Premonitions are dire
The hour is late
The well of luck is drained bone dry
Will we just accept our fate?
This vision is real
The time is now
Will we die with a whimper?
Or will we howl NO MORE
So peel the skin from your bones
Escape this prison of flesh
Dance the night like a skeleton possessed
Free yourself from fate

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
