BLACK WIDOW: Reunion Album Update

June 12, 2009

Classic U.K. progressive rockers BLACK WIDOW are currently in the studio recording their reunion album, "Sleeping With Demons". The band's original female vocalist, Kay Garret, has now rejoined the group in a studio so her voice will be heard on BLACK WIDOW's music again for the first time since 1969. Clive Jones and Geoff Griffith have wrote the entire album with the aid of Paolo "Apollo" Negri on keyboards. One of the songs — "That's When Evil Touched Me" — has lyrics written by a Canadian lyricist Sylvie M. Durette (Sylvie has also written lyrics for the extreme metal band FILE OF GHOSTS). Another track that will appear on the CD, "Partytime For Demons", got its inspiration from Pasi Koivu, a Finnish rock keyboardist and a close friend to the band.

Jones and Koivu celebrated BLACK WIDOW's return by recording "a short horror music thing" called "We Are Back". Jones also recently gigged as a special guest on PROPAGANDHI's (a Canadian punk/metal act) U.K. tour, making guest appearances during the old BLACK WIDOW classic "Come To The Sabbat".

Former BLACK SABBATH singer Tony Martin will be recording his vocal parts for BLACK WIDOW (at least for one song) when he returns from his U.S. tour. It now also seems that British axeman Mario Parga will record his guitar parts for the album (it's not confirmed yet, but as Clive Jones states, "Mario really wants to do it!").

There'll be also film appearances for BLACK WIDOW members. An American film director, Matthew Reel, is using AGONY BAG's (AGONY BAG was a legendary NWOBHM band which featured BLACK WIDOW's Clive Jones and Clive Box) music in his new extreme horror movie "Jessicka Rabid". Also included will be AGONY BAG's previously unscreened promo video, "Rabies Is A Killer", from 1980.
