RIVER BLACK - River Black (White Lp In Gatefold Sleeve) (LP)

White LP in gatefold sleeve
Limited to 250 copies worldwide

RIVER BLACK's powerful self-titled debut album impresses with undiluted aggression, precisely executed and dead on target. Of course that expertise in craft and talent does not come out of the blue: guitarist John Adubato and drummer David Witte (MUNICIPAL WASTE) formed their new creative outlet after the dissolution of BURNT BY THE SUN. The veteran duo felt the need to keep the spirit and energy behind that former collective going, while pushing it a darker and heavier direction. To complete their dream team, Witte and Adubato recruited fellow REVOCATION bassist Brett Bamberger and former BURNT BY THE SUN collaborator Mike Olender for vocal duties. Based on an intimate knowledge of thrash metal history, the Americans have found a modern answer to this classic style, incorporating suitable elements of death, hardcore, and other influences. This is boosted by a massive sound that drops the bomb in your face.
