I will contain all updates and discussion of my new band BLACKBOMBS in this thread from now moving forward.
We have self-released the debut BLACKBOMBS EP demo ‘Arachnid National Anthems’ on a variety of websites. Its 5 tracks range in sound from post-apocalyptic Drone to growling Industrial dance and frigid Electro synth. Vocals evoke Black Metal and early Goth Rock somehow combined.
“Anthems” blasts off with a personal nationalist manifesto set to heavy detuned bass stabs, militant drums and abstract experimental battlefield noisescapes. The track builds tense energy which is never quite released until…
“National Arachnid” combines dark epic coldwave synth with delayed black metal style vocals and programmed Electro dance beats giving the release of tension built up in “Anthems”.
“Forest Fire” has been edited to be far more ferocious than when it was first released as BLACKBOMBS debut song. Pummeling uber-Industrial dance beats and melodic synth breakdowns are paired with sound design explosions and live electronic percussion.
“Bipedal Marching Tank” pairs glitchy blast beats and effected black metal screeches with a groovy and bombastic gang vocal chorus that proves the apocalypse is meant to be celebrated with red wine, scabs and hate.
“Flower Bomb” is perhaps the darkest track, a tale of descent into the subterranean catacombs under NYC. An MTA worker gone mad with a collective death wish set to a vaguely Middle Eastern sounding groove and militant Industrial drum work.
The EP is packaged in a plastic sleeve with 2 inserts and a printed CD.

SPOILER ALERT
“Bipedal Marching Tank” will appear on the Prongs Compilation so you may want to skip that song to avoid ruining your listening experience when the Comp is ready.
If you would like a physical copy of the CD please paypal $5 plus shipping and handling to blackbombs@gmail.com and/or PM me and we’ll get the details squared away. We are hoping to sell as many of these as we can and the price is extremely cheap so if you like the music and would like to own it, please do not hesitate to contact me and get a copy!
Looks like you’ve done a lot of work for this. Presenting it well, too. I’ll get a copy soon.
Word up thanks mate.
We have shirts too for those interested. They are in a very limited run so let me know soon. I know for sure there is only 1 male Large. Other sizes on inquiry.
They are 3 color print cotton shirts with 2 big bomb logos on the front and one on the lower right back.
i am selling them for $10 which is basically the cost of making them.
I cheated and went ahead and listened to bipedal marching tank, awesome track. Sounds a bit like a more blippy Genghis Tron, dig it. Also, the shirt design is great!
i remember listening to that anthem song and i liked what i heard. i’ll check it out at some point.
which one are you? 
Sounds good! I have no interest in CDs, can I paypal you and get high quality MP3s instead?

I am Justin Symbol the one on the far left. Funny thing about that photo it was like 6am and I had to work in 3 hours. I had been staying up extremely late every night doing shit with the band and my complexion was completely fucked from sleep deprivation. After we finally finished the EP I was out for a whole day. My arm went numb at one point. Hahaha That’s why I look so shitty in that photo.

You can paypal us and get lossless WAVs via yousendit.
Paypal $5 blackbombsband@gmail.com
Just PM me your email and anything else and I’ll yousendit them to you. (That did not make sense grammatically…)
I like the spider logo thingy! I’ve not listened to any of your tunes yet, but I’m digging the stylistics of your packaging, merch, etc.
Thanks. I designed all the logos etc., though the spider laurel concept was an idea our singer came up with.
Not really the stuff I’d listen to but I do like your performances and style.
Plus I give you bonus points for the Amorphophallus Titanum clip.
^Thanks.

Voidhead doesn’t come across as particularly arrogant to me. Also dude, your response totally deserved a “piss off”.
Why is this thread here? Shouldn’t it be in the merch thread?
