BLACK MOTH: To Release Second Album "Condemned To Hope" This September
July 17, 2014
Leeds doom rockers BLACK MOTH recently announced the release of their second album "Condemned To Hope", due out on September 15th via New Heavy Sounds. The video for "Room 13", the first single off the record, is streaming now on New Heavy Sounds Youtube channel. An onslaught of monumental riff sorcery and serpentine grace, BLACK MOTH rose from the Leeds underground scene at the end of the last decade, indulging their love for both Sabbath sulphur and Stooges squalor. Their debut "The Killing Jar" (2012) effortlessly transcended its influences to arrive at a nefarious and turbulent brew, equal parts horror movie atmosphere, thunderous drive and maverick spark, with Harriet Bevan's biting and beguiling voice leading the charge. Expanded from their original four-piece to five, BLACK MOTH took to the road, touring with Turbowolf, not to mention laying waste to festivals from Reading/Leeds, to Desertfest. "The Killing Jar" was hailed by many as 'one of the best debut album's you'll hear all year' - it even made it onto Kerrang's top 50 albums of the year and is still winning fans and converts. Having laid waste to Europe as the main support on Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats latest live outing, it looks like this uniquely potent and poleaxing proposition are set to spread their wings to oblivion and beyond. New Heavy Sounds are super stoked to present "Condemned To Hope". Their long awaited second album, produced like their first by Jim Sclavunos (Grinderman, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, The Cramps) takes their kaleidoscopic heaviosity and sepulchral style to a whole new plateau of riff-driven dementia. It's an album of fearsome drive and clandestine twists, skilfully sidestepping the cliché and heavy-handedness of delivery that often seems fit to destroy contemporary heavy rock 'n' roll from the inside out.
