BLACK BONED ANGEL  Eternal Hunger  CD   (Battlecruiser)   11.98
Eternal Hunger IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

A brand new, 20 minute disc from Campbell Kneale's mega drone sludge beast, Black Boned Angel! Staring off with about a minute of churning, molten bass

distortion and high register, piercing feedback tones, Kneale then swoops in with a monolithic reptilian riff that lumbers across a starlit waste like some

ancient Cthulian form. The guitar tone on Eternal Hunger is a terrifying carnivorous, speaker shredding buzz, so thick and deep and downtuned that

it rattles your ribcage, backed with spacious, sparse earthshaking drum thunder, a bestial subharmonic mantra that is the closest that Black Boned Angel has

yet come to dredging up the gnarly void between Corrupted's Paso Inferior, Keiji Haino, and Sunn O)))'s OO Void. Then, abiut 10 minutes in,

a repetive piano melody surfaces, reminiscent of some minimal John Carpenter horror movie theme, repeating over and over for a couple of moments, before the

guitars and drums crash back in, but this time with a gloriously melodic, beautiful riff, over a bed of heavenly droning pipe organs, streaming down like

faint arcs of sunlight at the bottom of a deep impenetrable cave, like an even more epic Jesu, but cloaked in darkness and despair. Then, just after a few

minutes, the riff shuts down, and an extended series of tolling bells, conjured straight off of the beginning of Black Sabbath, enveloping you in

pure dread. This is the second actual CD release (following the equally bone crushing Black Temple Carved In Smoke CD from Mirag) on Campbell

Kneale's re-tooled Battlecruiser imprint, packahed in a killer black wallet sleeve imprinted in silver ink. Highly recommended.
