Blackbraid is slated to release their new record Blackbraid III sometime in 2025. While there's no concrete release date or single just yet (that we know of), Blackbraid has announced they'll stream the record in full at the upcoming Fire In The Mountains Festival next May.
"Today I am very pleased to announce that I have partnered with Fire in the Mountains to curate an exclusive pre-release event for my forthcoming full length Blackbraid III," said Blackbraid of the event. "Festival goers will have the opportunity to hear the album in its entirety ahead of its release.
"I am extremely proud of this album and absolutely cannot wait to share it with you, and I couldn't think of a more perfect place to debut it than this beautiful festival deep in the heart of Blackfeet Nation territory. Very grateful to be a part of Fire In The Mountains, see you there!"
