Solo Black Metal project BLACKBRAID is now unveiling a new single, “The Dying Breath Of A Sacred Stag”, along with a music video via Black Metal Promotions! The clip was created by Wolf Mountain Productions (The Anti-label). The song is taken from “Blackbraid III”, will be released on August 8th, 2025 independently! Vinyl and cassette formats, as well as new merch designs, can now be pre-ordered via Blackbraid.US & Blackbraid.EU while the album can be pre-saved across all streaming services HERE.
The captivating album artwork was created in collaboration with Adam Burke, who handled the painting, and mainstay BLACKBRAID album artist Adrian Baxter, who did the illustration.
In addition, BLACKBRAID has partnered with Fire in the Mountains Festival to curate a special pre-release event where festival attendees will get to hear the record ahead of street date. Fire in the Mountains will take place in Montana from July 25 – 27, 2025 at the Red Eagle Campground on the Blackfeet Nation Reserve. Artists who have already been confirmed to perform include BLACKBRAID, WARDRUNA, OLD MAN’s CHILD, BLOOD INCANTATION and more, with additional bands TBA.
BLACKBRAID will be embarking on a North American headliner later this year with support from LAMB OF MURMUUR and DÖDSRIT, with GUDSFORLADT replacing LOM as support for two Canadian dates. The trek will kick off on September 19th in San Diego, CA and will make its way around the U.S. & Canada until the final stop on October 11th in Los Angeles, CA.
