NEWS: Black Hole Deity burn the Crucible Knight!
Italian label Everlasting Spew Records have unveiled “Crucible Knight” from “Profane Geometry” the upcoming debut album of Alabama based Death Metal quartet Black Hole Deity. The follow up to the critically acclaimed EP “Lair Of Xenolich” once again unites members and former members of Malignancy and Chaos Inception in the creation of endless blast beats, razor sharp riffs and face melting solos mixed with a melodic sensibilities. Pre-orders for the 5th July release are available over at bandcamp.
Multi instrumentalist Cam Pinkerton comments: “Profane Geometry was conceived during the sessions for the debut ep Lair Of xenolich. We had a full album of ideas but only a few songs were really fully developed, thus an EP was the result. We spent the next couple years writing, re-writing, polishing, and recording the songs for the full length.
Musically, we wanted to stay with the same style, of old school death metal mixed with more modern influences. Lots of guitar solos, some melodic sections, some heavy breakdowns.
Drum and guitar recording took place at Mike Heller’s studio in Los Angeles during fall-winter 22-23. Vocals were recorded at my home studio summer of 23. A long mix session ensued to deliver the final result. There are no keys or synths on the album; all sounds are from stringed instruments.
Concept-wise, Profane Geometry is about experiences beyond human understanding. Gore and violence is very common in the genre but we chose to take a more sci-fi/supernatural horror approach, with songs about war with aliens, metaphysical experiences, and of course a song about good old fashioned nuclear annihilation”
