These
are fighting times, people. We are surrounded by grit, spit,
and bloody war, but in the distance moving forward is The Black
Angels. They’ve returned unscathed from their first tour
of duty with Seattle-based Light In The Attic Records, still
armed with their self-proclaimed "Native American Drone
'N' Roll" and set to release their debut long player. Passover
speaks of real-life horrors, death, and destruction with doses
of love, sex, and healing. Don’t lose track, these are
caring times as well.
Formed in 2004 and hailing from the mescaline-infused outskirts
of Austin, Texas, this gang of musical misfits has been on the
road non-stop since their birth. Growing in spades since their
debut, self-titled EP, Passover showcases a band on the make.
Spiraling upwards to the skies with the enemy straight on their
trail, "The Sniper At The Gates Of Heaven" sees The
Black Angels reaching high and stretching out with trance-inducing
guitar lines from Christian Bland, Nate Ryan’s filthy
medical dumpster bass, and the grizzly preacher vox of lead
shaman Alex Maas. "Black Grease" is a bluesy monster
full of swagger propelled by the primitive beat of drummer Stephanie
Bailey and the mourning drone of organist Jennifer Raines.
10-songs deep, Passover has come again. Reflecting and questioning
the intergenerational psychosis of American social life that
surrounds us, The Black Angels put forth their answers in song.
It’s a call to arms for those ready to join the good fight,
a rock 'n' roll salvation during the times we need it the most.
As Maas bellows on "Young Man Dead,": Fire for the
hills, pick up speed, and let’s go... |
