Chapel Hill, NC doom trio BLACK SKIES recently kicked off a string of tour dates in support of their latest EP, Hexagon, just issued as a limited edition 12" via I'm Better Than Everyone Records. This will mark the band’s first time ever playing on the West Coast!
From the aptly named opening track "The Quiet Before the Storm" through the thundering conclusion of "Chain Of Command," BLACK SKIES throw their heavy hat into the ring with Hexagon. Together for just over three years, guitarist/vocalist Kevin Clark, bassist Michelle Temple and drummer
Cameron Weeks weave their songs with well-thought and executed riffs playing alongside a churning organic groove. This is tonal chemistry befitting of a legendary band sharing the same initials, yet with a decidedly American flavor. Through hard work BLACK SKIES has been making waves across the eastern half of the United States and continue gaining momentum with tours booked throughout 2009. If these six tracks serve as a fitting prelude of greater things to come, the next waves of attack from this sonic strike-force will truly be something to behold.
