Blackbraid es un proyecto solista de black metal indígena desde las profundidades del desierto de Adirondack que crea música tan cruda y poderosa como las montañas de donde vino...
La música de Blackbraid está inspirada en las fuerzas de la naturaleza en la tierra que nos rodea, las emociones abrumadoras de rabia y tristeza, y la profunda espiritualidad del creador del proyecto, Sgah'gahsowáh; un nativo del sur criado en las montañas del noreste. Su nombre artístico fue elegido para honrar la tierra Mohawk que inspira gran parte de la música de Blackbraid.
Blackbraid es un artista ferozmente independiente, que está abriendo con saña un camino nuevo e inspirador tanto para los pueblos indígenas como para los músicos underground.

THE NEW YORK TIMES
Full profile, interview, & show review published in the NY times Music section print & digital editions.
"black metal has expanded and diversified, so much so that the genre’s latest success story, the one-man band Blackbraid, hails from the Adirondacks and draws on its founder’s Native American roots rather than Vikings and medieval weapons."

"Sgah'gahsowah, the one man behind the project, is able to take the traditional sounds of black metal and then further shape and move them in a very distinct and novel direction...Another reason to really love this record is that, unlike many of the solo black metal acts out there, Blackbraid is unafraid to use modern production techniques and give depth and resonance to sound."

METAL SUCKS
Review: Blackbraid II is an Uncompromising Take on Black Metal
"There’s a certain quality that is needed for good black metal that doesn’t quite have a word, at least not in English. It’s the quality of being simultaneously grimy and crusty, sounding like it crawled out of the depths of hell, while also remaining triumphant and melodic when it comes to the riffs.
Only select bands have nailed this over the years: Dark Throne, Dark Funeral, Spectral Wound, and now, Blackbraid."
