Surrender"
|
Black Hole's new album "Whirlwind of Mad Men" is
now out as of November 11th via Rockshots
Records. The full-length presents anthemic guitar riffs,
powerful rhythms, frenzied solos, and enlightening vocals, to give fans a power
metal quintet that's progressive, symphonic, and strongly influenced by masters
of the genre such as Stratovarius, Kamelot, Powerwolf, Nightwish, and Iron
Maiden.
For the album's release day, Black Hole is sharing their latest
music video for their single "Never Surrender", a track that offers
up a Celtic atmosphere that is inspired by the character of “Braveheart”
William Wallace who fought to save his land.
“It is a message to all those who have fought, are fighting, and
will fight for their country and their freedom.” adds
the band.

Black Hole's sophomore
full-length "Whirlwind
of Mad Men" navigates between heavy and power metal
with melodies carried between the vocals and guitar solos along with being
supported by solid rhythmic parts and great orchestral pieces which give
intensity to the compositions. The diversity of all the songs allows listeners
to travel through various atmospheres and contexts. The album's goal is to give
feelings of power while mastering strong emotional moments.
The new album also features new member Christophe
(keyboards/orchestrations), adding more epic and orchestrated tracks. A
collaboration that promises to be more interesting than their previous record
"Lost World". Mixing and mastering were helmed by Roland Grapow
(ex-Helloween, Masterplan) who also added a guitar solo on the album's cover
track of Iron Maiden's "Fear of the Dark".
"We are very happy to be releasing this powerful symphonic
metal album. We have worked hard to deliver a high-quality product. The lyrics,
the moods, the symphonic arrangements, and the performances of each individual
give a special resonance to this record. The overall sound and the sound of
each instrument has been an essential point throughout the genesis and we are
proud of the finished product. The visual side is not to be outdone. The
high-quality artwork represents well the universe of the themes and the general
atmosphere of the album. We hope that fans will take as much pleasure to listen
to it as we did to conceive it." adds the band.
