New striking strokes
10 May 2022
Band: BLACK MIDI
Who: Young terrifically engrossing
indie 4-piece from London.
The British sound-digging crusaders BLACK MIDI scored one of
last year’s best longplayers with Calvacade, confirming their musical
prog-jazz-rock inspired vision of debut album Schlagenheim.
And their third one, baptized HELLFIRE is ready
for release on 15th July. Pre-order info here.
Geordie Greep (vocalist, guitar) about the first single WELCOME TO HELL: “Almost everything I write is from a true thing, something I experienced and exaggerated and wrote down. I don’t believe in Hell, but all that old world folly is great for songs, I’ve always loved movies and anything else with a depiction of Hell. Dante’s Inferno. When Homer goes to Hell
in the Simpsons. There’s a robot Hell in Futurama. Isaac Bashevis Singer, a Jewish writer who portrays a Satan interfering in people’s lives. “
A screwy zig-zagging masterstroke it is.
