Official press release:
Indigenous solo black metal project Blackbraid is pleased to now surprise fans with a brand new EP, ‘Nocturnal Womb,’ which will be independently released worldwide this Friday, March 6! To celebrate, Blackbraid has partnered with Black Metal Promotion to premiere the new single, “Celestial Bloodlust”, along with a dynamic performance video. The video was created by Moshmallows during Blackbraid’s recent performance at Kollektivet Livet Bar & Scen in Stockholm (SE) and features many of Blackbraid’s ravenous Swedish fans! Watch below:
“Nocturnal Womb” and “Celestial Bloodlust” were the tracks too dark and visceral to fit the story of Blackbraid III‘ They exist on their own outside of the album trilogy via a standalone EP, which also contains an acoustic instrumental rendition of “Barefoot Ghost Dance on Blood Soaked Soil”. With the EP release imminent, sales sand shipping both start today. Nocturnal Womb can be ordered now via Blackbraid.US & Blackbraid.EU.
Blackbraid will also soon be headlining the UK and Ireland from April 9 – 14, 2026, in which he will be supported by Winterfylleth + Noctem. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets are available HERE. In addition, Blackbraid has a number of upcoming festival appearances in Europe, which can also be found below!
