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
I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic
Songwriting, musicianship, and atmosphere taken to the level of pure art. Every moment of this is riveting for me. My favorite title of 2022! An absolute masterpiece... kowaikage2
