Black Sun haben heute ihr selbstbetiteltes Album veröffentlicht. Nino, der Gitarrist und Produzent der Band, sagt dazu: „Almost exactly two years ago, as we embarked on the journey of recording this album, I had no idea what a ride it would be. After a month of working in the studio in Guayaquil, Ecuador, I returned home with Pro Tools sessions that were still very much in progress, leaving me uncertain about how they would ultimately take shape. But as always, when good people with the right attitude come together, magic happens. Slowly but surely, all the pieces began to click into place, and suddenly—kaboom!—we found ourselves listening to one of the best albums I’ve ever had the pleasure of producing,“ Er fügt hinzu, „This album is a testament to friendship, ambition, and, of course, a deep love for melodic, catchy, yet still punchy heavy metal!“
„I am so thankful to have been part of this wonderful journey of finding our musical sound together. This album has been both an exciting and challenging process. I had to step out of my comfort zone, which gave me the opportunity to experiment with ideas and vocal styles I hadn’t tried before. Nino made magic out of every idea we had and truly brought the songs to life. I’m really happy with the album; it’s been great to experience this with friends!“, kommentiert Netta.

Die Band fügt folgendes hinzu: “This album is the result of a band built on the foundations of respect and honesty. It also represents the diverse layers and influences that an international Ecuadorian-Finnish band like Black Sun can draw upon.
While most of us share similar musical tastes and backgrounds, the contributions from new members with varied experience have pushed us to explore new dimensions. Having Netta on vocals allowed us to venture into areas we had always wanted to explore but never had the vocalist to take us there. It’s truly impressive to hear Netta’s versatility throughout these songs.
All in all, this is an album we’re incredibly proud to have made, and we’re excited to finally share it with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!”

Nach der veröffentlichung der Singles „Slay The Queen“ und „Drown in Sin„, veröffentlichen Black Sun heute auch ein neues Lyric Video vom neuen Album zu „With Them Devils„.

“‘With Them Devils’ is undeniably the heaviest track on the album.“, sagt die Band. „Recording it was an absolute blast, as it came alive during the session, rumbling like a million-ton tank, obliterating everything in its path!”.

Über BLACK SUN:

Black Sun ist eine ecuadorianisch-finnische Melodic Heavy Metal-Band, die ursprünglich in Ecuador von Nicolas Estrada (Schlagzeug), Christopher Grünberg (Gitarre) und Santiago Salem (Bass) gegründet wurde.

Bei ihrem letzten Album „Silent Enemy“ arbeitete die Band mit dem finnischen Produzenten/ Tontechniker und Thunderstone-Gitarristen Nino Laurenne (Amorphis, Lost Society, The Rasmus) zusammen. Währenddessen sprachen sie darüber, gemeinsam Musik zu machen – das Ergebnis: Nino schloss sich der Band an und ist nun als Gitarrist bei Black Sun.

„After working with the guys as their producer, we became really good friends, which finally led me to become a guitarist in the band. Joining Black Sun really got me stoked about playing in a band again, and I can’t wait to hit the stage with Santiago, Nicolas and Christopher. And with Netta on vocals, it’s going to be the biggest kick in the butt!“, sagt Nino.

Leadsängerin ist Netta Laurenne

Neben Nino ist auch die Sängerin Netta Laurenne (Smackbound, Laurenne/Louhimo) als neue Leadsängerin zur Band gestoßen. Black Sun is a band born and based on friendship. Getting to spend time and play music together is awesome.”, fügt Netta hinzu. So sind Ecuador und Finnland nun verbunden und werden von einer Band repräsentiert, die einzigartig ist. Black Sun ist dabei, ein neues Kapitel zu schreiben, eine Wiedergeburt als Band.
