Blackbraid est un projet solo de black metal autochtone issu des profondeurs de la nature sauvage des Adirondacks, créant une musique aussi brute et puissante que les montagnes d'où elle est venue...
La musique de Blackbraid s'inspire des forces de la nature qui nous entourent, des émotions maîtrisant la rage et de la tristesse, et de la profonde spiritualité du créateur du projet, Sgah'gahsowáh ; un natif du sud élevé dans les montagnes du nord-est. Son nom de scène a été choisi pour honorer la terre Mohawk qui inspire une grande partie de la musique de Blackbraid.
Blackbraid est un artiste farouchement indépendant, qui trace vicieusement une voie nouvelle et inspirante pour les peuples autochtones et les musiciens 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."
