BLACKBRAID's next release, 'Blackbraid III,' is slated for release on August 8, 2025, and they're putting it out independently. A big part of the independent music world is collaboration with fellow artists of all different mediums. In this case, BLACKBRAID chose painter Adam Burke, as they felt he would be able to craft what they wanted to convey. Joined by illustrator Adrian Baxter, who has done other work for this artist. This creative team came together and produced the album visuals for all to enjoy below as well as in person once physical copies are mailed out.
Fans can order digital/vinyl/cassette versions of the album as well as check pit the many streaming & pre-save options HERE.
