Black Mask are creating soul-crushing hardcore with a grind and metal influence that builds destructive walls of sound. Originally formed in 2011, the band debuted with 2012’s Black Mask EP followed by 2014’s Lost Below EP and extensive touring. Today, Black Mask release their first full-length, Vestige Of Mercy, available through Static Era Records. The twelve track album was produced and recorded by guitarist Greg Thomas (also of END) at Silver Bullet Studios and mastered by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio. The record finds the band heavier than ever, pushing the boundaries of sound through a sonic attack on the senses. Expect rage-fueled vocals paired with tension building rhythms, fast riffs, and devastating breakdowns. Lyrics convey change and tragedy, addressing heavy handed themes of religion, and psychological and physical pain.
Stream Vestige Of Mercy HERE. The album is available for purchase through Static Era Records, with an exclusive variant and additional merch available through Black Mask’s webstore.
Black Mask is Michael Stello – Vocals, Travis McKenrick – Guitar/Vocals, Casey Columbus – Bass, Matt Full – Drums, and Greg Thomas – Guitar.
