Blackbraid

Blackbraid is an American black metal solo project formed in the Adirondack Mountains, New York, in 2022 by Jon Krieger. A native American, Krieger is also known as Sgah’gahsowáh, a Mohawk name meaning "the witch hawk". History Blackbraid was formed in 2022 as part of the indigenous black metal scene in the United States. Some commentators have doubted Krieger's ties to the Mohawk tribe (the source of his stage name) though he has confirmed his Native American roots.
