Cincinnati doom crew Blessed Black first unfold their wings again in 2018. They shortly launched an album in 2020 (Past the Crimson Throne) and established themselves as a rising expertise within the Midwestern heavy music scene. With a thick ’70s doom tone and psychedelic leanings, Blessed Black carry grit to cleanly sung stoner rock. 5 years after their formation, Blessed Black return with the primary in a deliberate collection of EPs. Seasons: Vol.1  represents the band’s refined course after including new guitarist Jake Stone to the fold. Immediately we share the primary monitor Stone helped write with the band forward of the EP’s September 1st launch.

“Unable” is a downbeat ballad that includes Stone’s mid-paced riffs and evocative solos. In the meantime, the rhythm part (bassist Brad Bellamy and drummer Ray Bates) digs a trench with their heavy, shuffling momentum. It’s a hard-hitting, emotional nearer for followers of Witch Mountain, Danzig, Beastmaker, and Manilla Street’s late-era doom. Singing concerning the perils and tragedy of substance abuse, it’s a superb efficiency from vocalist Joshua Murphy. The monitor’s lyrics seize the cautious optimism of a involved cherished one observing the battle.

“We’re elated to drop the second music from our EP Seasons Vol.1 for the world to listen to,” Blessed Black share in a press release. “This music is the very first contribution that our new guitarist Jake Stone dropped at the band, and the lyrics tackle some conditions that myself and the opposite guys within the band have handled over latest years, which is watching somebody you’re keen on succumb to alcoholism, medicine, or different addictions. It was very cathartic to jot down, and sadly is one thing that I really feel like most adults can relate to in a roundabout way. Hopefully they will take some consolation in the truth that they’re not alone in these experiences.”
