Indigenous black metal project BLACKBRAID is pleased to announce a brand-new EP, “Nocturnal Womb,” released on Friday, March 6. To celebrate, BLACKBRAID has partnered with Black Metal Promotion to premiere the new single, “Celestial Bloodlust,” along with a new performance video. The video was created by Moshmallows during Blackbraid’s recent performance in Stockholm, and features many of Blackbraid’s dedicated Swedish fans! Watch at THIS LOCATION.

“Nocturnal Womb” and “Celestial Bloodlust” were the tracks too dark and visceral to fit the story of ‘Blackbraid III.’ They exist in a world of 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 and shipping both start today. ‘Nocturnal Wound’ can be ordered now via Blackbraid.US & Blackbraid.EU

In other news, Blackbraid will also soon be headlining the U.K. and Ireland from April 9 – 14, 2026, with support from WINTERFYLLETH and NOCTEM. The full itinerary can be found below, while tickets are available HERE. Blackbraid will also be featured at several upcoming festivals in Europe, which can also be found below!
