BLACK HOLE - Land of Mystery (Splatter Vinyl) (Sealed) (LP)

Black Hole were a gifted trio of musicians from Italy that play Doom Metal with a monster emphasis on soul-destroying atmosphere. The atmosphere is a complete throwback to just everything that was cool in the late 70's/early 80's. Dungeons and dragons, horror movies, castles, cheesy stage costumes, smoke machines, skulls..... For one this atmosphere is enhanced by synths that are complete Goblin-worship. Black Hole using their desolate-sounding Doom Metal combine the unholy synths that can only be described as both enthralling, spooky, kooky, and just flat-out cool. Cool is the only thing to describe their sound really. The artwork in particular is crudely drawn in a very childish and almost folk-like.
