Immerse yourself in the electrifying world of atmospheric Black Metal with BLACK BIRCH's upcoming 12" EP, featuring captivating music on one side and a handcrafted screen print on the other - an artwork in itself, meticulously created by Black Birch. This one-of-a-kind collector's edition is encased in a heavy plastic sleeve with a flap and sticker, hand-numbered, and limited to just 250 copies (125 gold / 125 black). "Our music often circles around the topic of human nature and humans place and effect on earth. This EP, containing the songs Fallen - Death - Soil - Birth, is sort of an expression of the stream of life, a never-ending circle. As we fall and die so we can return to the soil, from where we were given, who can in return give birth to new life. A constant limbo between life and death. And by enabling new human life, also causing the destruction of earth itself." Your options include the mesmerizing Gold with black screen print or the intense Black with gold screen print. Each version includes two previously released powerhouses 'Fallen' and 'Soil', as well as the highly anticipated upcoming releases 'Death' and 'Birth'. The much-awaited release date is September 1st, 2023, and the clock is ticking on the pre-sale, which ends on July 23rd. Swedish atmospheric Black Metal duo BLACK BIRCH, consisting of Gina Wiklund (vocals, guitar & bass) and Ulf Blomberg (drums, guitar, bass & backup vocals), are making waves in the music industry. With influences from crust, post-metal, and black metal, they've created a sound that's both classic and contemporary, fusing atmospheric harmonies with heavy midsections and an intensely passionate vocal attack. Their innovative approach to creating music from their home studio in rural Sweden has already won them international recognition, with regular airplay on BBC 1 and Australia's Triple J. This release has brought together two labels, Vita Detestabilis from Spain and Fiadh from the U.S., creating a harmonious blend of the old school and modern Black Metal, with touches of other extreme genres including hardcore. "You’re one of my fave new BM bands. You and Agriculture."
