Indigenous black metal act Blackbraid has released "The Dying Breath of a Sacred Stag", the second single taken from the band's upcoming third album Blackbraid III.

Adopted shortly after birth by white parents, multi-instrumentalist Jon Kreiger (who performs under the stage name Sgah'gahsowáh) formed Blackbraid in 2022 as a way to connect with his indigenous heritage.

In celebration of the aforementioned track's release, an official music video for the song premiered via the popular YouTube channel Black Metal Promotion.
