About:
Back in the day, Craving was friends with nowadays one of the biggest metal-related YouTubers in Germany. In 2015, we discussed the possibility of featuring „By the Storm“ in one of his YouTube episodes. I offered to write a song for him, but he ignored the offer, which eventually became the composition for „Gods Don’t Negotiate.“
Later that same year, our former bass player, Leo, publicly criticized YouTubers on Facebook, which sparked the anger of this particular YouTuber.
He contacted me via private message to say that he would no longer support us in any way.
Acting impulsively with rage like a small child, without basically negotiating or letting me know what was going on.
Years later, this experience inspired me to write a song about psychopathy. „Gods Don’t Negotiate“ interprets my idea of psychopathy as individuals who have locked away their capacity for empathy, contrary to the belief that they simply lack this brain function. The title was inspired by a multiplayer first-person shooter game that we all enjoy playing.
„Obey our judgement, you can’t escape
Because Gods don’t Negotiate!“
lyrics
Gods Don’t Negotiate
00:43
The light of wisdom burns within us
Like fire it unfolds inside
This knowledge is our fuel, our craving
It feeds our furious, awoken minds
01:03
Like fire our intellect unfolds
01:14
Within...
01:16
Within our souls we seek for vengeance
To those who did us harm in the past
The mind is our biggest weapon
We seek revenge, we crush their trust
Our fragile egos create angst
And fear gives birth to blackest rage
What gives us power on this page
And manifests our mental cage
01:40
Within we suffer seeking help
01:46
Unable to cry out for assistance
01:51
Within this cage locked down our feelings
01:56
Forbitten thoughts we can't escape
01:59
Our fragile egos create angst
And fear gives birth to blackest rage
What gives us power on this page
And manifests our mental cage
02:09
Within we suffer seeking help
Unable to cry out for assistance
Within this cage locked down our feelings
Forbitten thoughts we can't escape
Our minds are cold, bitter and silent
Without empathy, crushingly violent
Obey our judgement, you can't escape
Because Gods don't negotiate
02:31 Solo Marek “Ashok” Smerda
02:50
Within we suffer seeking help
Unable to cry out for assistance
Within this cage locked down our feelings
Forbitten thoughts we can't escape
Our minds are cold, bitter and silent
Without empathy, crushingly violent
Obey our judgement, you can't escape
Because Gods don't negotiate
03:13
Our minds are cold, bitter and silent
Without our empathy, create violence
Obey our judgement, you can't escape
Because Gods don't negotiate
03:34
Within we suffer seeking help
Unable to cry out for assistance
Within this cage locked down our feelings
Forbitten thoughts we can't escape
Our minds are cold, bitter and silent
Without empathy, crushingly violent
Obey our judgement, you can't escape
Because Gods don't negotiate
03:55
Within we suffer seeking help
Unable to cry out for assistance
Within this cage locked down our feelings
Forbitten thoughts we can't escape
Our minds are cold, bitter and silent
Without empathy, crushingly violent
Obey our judgement, you can't escape
Because Gods don't negotiate
04:17
Yeah!
04:24
Gods don't negotiate!
04:33
Gods don't negotiate!

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

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

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri
