lyrics
Call Of The Wild
When it comes time for leaving, I just can’t ever stay still
I drink till it’s empty, No I just can’t ever get my fill
I stay up all night out messing around
I gotta kill this pain I feel and settle on down
Babe, I won’t blame you if you leave me behind
Oh, but you always knew I was the rambling kind
It’s the call of the wild, I howl at the moon
I sleep out with them dogs and I cry out like
That old lone wolf
The booze tried to kill me along with the cocaine and pills
I gotta get on out of this town or I never will

Henry started creating acoustic based folk music under the moniker : To The Boy Elis, a reference from the Austrian born poet Georg Trakl. His love for roots & folk music eventually inspired him to take on a more sophisticated approach to the craft.

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

Invisible Oranges had it right calling this record "shimmering." Light glinting off the leaves of the Appalachian foothills suffuses this record. Great songwriting that keeps you engaged even in repeating verses, and emotional chord choices that invoke that special, yearning kind of good melancholy. And kudos to the synth/keyboard work for being right on point, fleshing out the sound without taking over and getting corny. pinkytheent
