THE NEW BLACK: 'Ballad Of Broken Angels' Video Available

March 6, 2009

"Ballad Of Broken Angels", the new video from THE NEW BLACK — the German band featuring members of SINNER, RUNAMOK, ABANDONED and MCF — can be viewed below.

According to the group, "The clip was directed and edited by our own Fludid [vocals]. [The song] was inspired by and written for an American road movie of the same title. Imagine a cross between 'Thelma & Louise' and 'Kill Bill' and you get it. With cool music. And it happened like this: Sometime last year the man behind 'Ballad Of Broken Angels', screenwriter/producer Gary M. Lumpp, who is a movie and music freak (and overall cool dude) stumbled upon our site. Why and how...that's all lost in the mist of time by now. But he liked what he heard, we got in touch, we liked what he had in mind for the movie, he asked for a song, and we wrote one — in three weeks or so. That's how a little German band with no deal (at that point) ended up doing the title track for a movie to be filmed in the U.S. We think that's very cool, and we're pretty grateful. Plus we got a nice tune out of it."

"Ballad Of Broken Angels" comes off THE NEW BLACK's self-titled debut album, which was released in Germany on January 23 and three days later in the rest of Europe via AFM Records.

THE NEW BLACK's music is being described as "BLACK LABEL SOCIETY inviting the NICKELBACK guy over for some THIN LIZZY covers." Several songs that are set to appear on the debut album can be streamed on the group's MySpace page.

THE NEW BLACK is:

Fludid (Vocals)
Christof "Leimsen" Leim (Guitar)
Fabian "Fabs" Schwarz (Guitar)
Günt (Bass)
Chris Weiß (Drums)
