The band’s sole member Jon Krieger is not reinventing the wheel with the project’s newly released third studio album Blackbraid III.
For what it is and seeks to do, the album is a step up from Blackbraid’s previous two studio albums, mainly as an extended third-parter. Everything is slightly refined and sounds better, especially Krieger’s vocals. This is evident from the very first spin through the album.
These tracks also show much better Krieger has become when it comes to writing melodic and acoustic parts, like God of Black Blood, where the oppressive heavy guitar rhythm is slowly pushed to the back when the flutes start coming in. Like a storm that tears through a rainforest, leaving a quiet calm afterwards, before the inevitable return of rain and thunder, Blackbraid III sees Krieger punctuating each searing song with ambient interludes that vary between acoustic solos and tremolo picking mixed with flutes and sounds from nature.
For example, take the excellent Native American flute usage, which is sadly constrained to what, two out of 10 songs on the album? It does not make sense to hold back when he can easily take his brand of native black metal higher by just experimenting more, similar to what bands like Maquahuitl have done.
However, it cannot be denied that like Blackbraid I and Blackbraid II, Krieger’s third album will surely summon more ears towards the more extreme domain based purely on how much of a banger the album is.
Blackbraid III is streaming on music platforms.
