Black Breath is an American heavy metal band from Washington that formed in Bellingham in 2006 and later moved to Seattle.

A key factor of their sound is the "Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Pedal", which was popularized by bands such as Entombed, Dismember and Edge of Sanity in the early 1990s.

Black Breath began in 2005, playing local bars and house shows in Bellingham.
