BLACK ELK's latest release Always A Six, Never A Nine was unleashed last October on Crucial Blast Records. Watch for more news from this facebreaking rock unit.

"...Black Elk have gone from Jesus Lizard-like rock saviours to hardcore/sludge enthusiasts. As evidenced by this, their sophomore release, front-man Tom Glose’s vocals are even more unhinged, and the group’s musicality now approaches the crash’n’burn dynamics of Kiss It Goodbye." - Exclaim!

"...Always a Six, Never a Nine, is a gooey amalgam of bands and genres crawling over each other, and it’s not hard to find something you'll recognize. But just because you know what’s in a Snickers, does that make it any less delicious?" - Decibel

"Black Elk is less about metallics, and more about crush-grooving; a layered dirty stomp occasionally psyched out." - MetalReview.com
