85/100 across five reviews. The project of musician Sgah’gahsowáh, Blackbraid brought fresh air to atmospheric black metal by infusing it with Native American heritage and imagery. Blackbraid III confirms that singular voice: nature, melody and fury entwined.

The press hails a third instalment worthy of the name, epic without hollow bombast. One of the genre’s most stimulating names. Rating: 8.5.
