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

I saw Maggot Heart opening for Messa in DC and I was blown away! This was a time when you hear someone live for the first time and you know you will be hooked when you go home and check them out. They sounded as great, ferocious, and huge live as they did on this record: MASSIVE beautiful tones from all three instruments stitching together phenomenal, twisting, beguiling, serpentine dark songwriting and well-written, razor-sharp lyrics delivered with a spine-tingling intensity. Come back to DC! pinkytheent
