Earlier today, indigenous solo black metal outfit Blackbraid announced that it will be releasing a three-track EP titled Nocturnal Womb this Friday, March 6. Not only that, but one-third of said EP is already online and streaming right now.
The new track, titled “Celestial Bloodlust”, is a black metal banger. It’s sharp, it’s furious, and if you’ve listened to Blackbraid before, it fits his style. In addition to the track’s release is the accompanying music video that dropped alongside it. Created by Moshmallows during Blackbraid’s performance at Kollektivet Livet Bar & Scen in Stockholm, it’s a hell of a display of the band’s intensity live. You can cehck that out below.
Aside from the EP’s fast approaching release date, Blackbraid also have a number of live dates lined up for 2026. You can find those below.
