A Place for Ash
by Mo'ynoq

While I do not yet know whether I prefer Dreaming in a Dead Language or A Place for Ash, this is an absolutely stunning and remarkably well-written black metal album. Not only does it sound even better (not! polished, but fittingly natural with a sharp, raw edge) than its predecessor, it sports a particularly engaging songwriting quality. From the unorthodox start of Penance to the atmospheric, epic and yet crushing, self-devouring closer this album keeps getting better the deeper one's in.
Favorite track: The Beast that Mourned at the Heart of the Mountain.

The astonishing Dreaming in a Dead Language might have been Mo'ynoq's once-in-a-career capturing of lightning in a bottle, but make no mistake, A Place for Ash is very much a sonic whirlwind that evokes all of the same emotions and employs the same weapons. The counterpoint on display here is masterful! I think that Mo'ynoq has more to say now than ever, with a broadly expressive progressive black metal tapestry, but is simply doing so in a less kinetic and muscular manner than before.
Favorite track: Effigies Adorned in Fire.

This is an absolutely stellar release. I consider myself lucky when I was lured into their pummeling sonic labyrinth once again. And again and again... Brutal, emotive and hypnotic. Flat-out breathtaking 🖤

From Tiohtià:Ke, with utmost support and love for the Mohawk people and all Siberian First Nations descendants! Blackbraid is easily the best Black Metal project right now, heavily underrated. Carrying a fragment of my Native Siberian ancestry, every song comes with a different story about nature and its splendor! Hah-kwa 🧡

The first album is already a very good one, but the second is even better! It contains again nature black metal, quite melodic, but also wild, with some folkloristic elements, full of atmosphere and performed with passion. For me, BLACKBRAID fits well into the same category as other epic one man bands like Saor, Ruadh or Pure Wrath. Besides the catchy and quite straight opener "The Spirit returns", I mention the mightiest track "Moss covered Bones on the Altar of the Moon" as my favourite song!
