RECENT NEWS! New England doom rock trio BLACK PYRAMID will release its long awaited sophomore album Black Pyramid II on January 31, 2012 via MeteorCity Records.  Recorded "in the foothills of the Berkshires" at Black Coffee Sound (Elks, Elder) and mixed by Justin Pizzoferrato (Sonic Youth / Witch / Dinosaur Jr.), the record features nine tracks of the band's self-titled "galloping war metal".  Black Pyramid II was mastered by Matt Washburn (Mastodon) and is "at times a bit more death metal and black metal influenced" than the band's previous material, boasting a rich sound that will find immediate appeal in fans of Sleep, OM, The Gates of Slumber, In Solitude, Graveyard and Witchcraft.

"We're incredibly proud of the sonic landscapes we were able to achieve with the new album," said BLACK PYRAMID drummer Clay Neely.  "It's a clear successor to the debut album and we allowed ourselves to further expand into some uncharted territories.  The recording of the record was an incredibly rewarding experience and we can't wait to bring the show back on the road."

BLACK PYRAMID II is available for advance purchase now at this location.

Press

  • "while BLACK PYRAMID's self-titled isn't quite Holy Mountain Pt. 2, it's quite possibly the next best thing. If SLEEP's the stuff that makes your bongwater bubble, then BLACK PYRAMID is your new favourite band. Doom's not dead, not by a mile, and these guys are at the top of the list of New Doom Bands You Gotta Hear!"  Hellbound
  • "Haven't heard of BLACK PYRAMID yet? Don't worry, you will" AOL Noisecreep
  • "Part of MeteorCity's ongoing effort to rejuvenate the allegedly-dormant American stoner movement, BLACK PYRAMID are a monument built in honor of SLEEP, weaving tales of monsters, legends and wildebeests that match the epic scope of their riffs and crashes"  The Obelisk
