Jon Krieger showed us, once again, his incredible talent as a songwriter, musician and lyricist and gave us the perfect following to his first record.

As somebody who enjoyed Blackbraid’s self-titled debut but wasn’t totally sold on it, it’s great to see their potential be so realized with album two. While it’s essentially cut from the same cloth as its predecessor with many of the same tropes on display, the ambitious scope makes it feel more like the other way around. The riffs are incredibly strong and the atmosphere is potent enough to keep the runtime from feeling too overwhelming. With a vision fulfilled this successfully, it’ll be interesting to see where Blackbraid goes from here.
