BLACK BREATH Prepares To Record New Album
February 15, 2011Northwestern metallic hardcore assassins BLACK BREATH have unveiled a number of new tour dates as they forge their way across the Midwest and Northeast U.S. on a return trip to Massachusetts' Godcity Studios (CONVERGE, TRAP THEM, THE SECRET, DISFEAR) where they will record their second full-length album with producer Kurt Ballou. The CD will be released later in the year via Southern Lord Recordings.
BLACK BREATH's tour dates are scheduled to kick off with an appearance at the Scion Rock Fest in Pomona, California on March 5 alongside labelmates NAILS, as well as MORBID ANGEL, INTEGRITY, OBITUARY, BASTARD NOISE, ATHEIST and countless more.
Like ENTOMBED fighting WOLFPACK in a POISON IDEA cover song competition after soaking in bourbon for a year, BLACK BREATH's tonal massiveness is as crushing and dominating as it is upbeat and empowering. The Seattle-based quintet's heavy sound integrates elements invented by Swedish death metal and hardcore legends, yet still flowing with plenty of pissed-off American blood, as proven on their potent "Razor To Oblivion" EP — released in early 2009 then re-released by Southern Lord later in the year — and then even more impressively on their debut full-length, "Heavy Breathing", which infiltrated endless best of 2010 lists everywhere.
