The rain and wind is raging
Alone under a sky of black
They all claim it was a staging
I know there is no turning back
And my hubris shakes
Rocks me to my core
As my being quakes
I know what's in store
Cannot prove my worth
Soaking till the dawn
Feel the shifting earth
Still I will fight on

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
