Blackbraid Hellsinki Metal Festival 2024

Blackbraid unleash stunning new video for “The Dying Breath of a Sacred Stag”

Author Teemu Hakala - 3.7.2025

Blackbraid, the solo Indigenous black metal project led by Mohawk musician Sgah’gahsowáh, has unveiled a gripping new single “The Dying Breath of a Sacred Stag” alongside with a music video. The song serves as the latest preview from the upcoming album “Blackbraid III,” set for release on August 8th.

The visually arresting clip continues the project’s blend of feral black metal and reverent natural imagery, following earlier singles like “Wardrums at Dawn on the Day of My Death.” With a mix of haunting atmosphere and relentless power, the new material further sharpens the sonic identity that has earned Blackbraid a devoted following since debuting in 2022.

Following the album’s release, Blackbraid will embark on the project’s first-ever North American headlining tour. The run kicks off September 18th in San Diego and wraps up October 11th in Los Angeles, with support from Lamp of Murmuur and Dödsrit. For the two Canadian dates, Gudsforladt will step in for Lamp of Murmuur.
