BW&BK; has received the following update:

Brooklyn, New York-based triple guitar-led sludge titans HULL are pleased to announce their appearance on a very special show this January opening for doom icons PENTAGRAM. The performance will take place at Brooklyn's Club Europa on January 6, 2011. Additional support will come from JUDAS PRIESTESS and BEZOAR. To purchase tickets go to this location.

Commented the band : "This year being the first of the future, twenty-ten, it marks the starting point of a whole new century of sonic learning that we can't even begin to imagine. Twenty-eleven has been foretold to perhaps even melt the faces of those who aren't listening to the learning. The first of these twelve or seventy-three different events to mark the future will fall upon the sixth day of twenty-eleven at eight of the clock, when the bare moon is halved and then thrice cloven, thus appearing to be full.

For those who would stand proud and open their ears to this gift, it is said it may be witnessed on the continent of Europa during the season of the Pentagram, when the Judas Priestess battles the mighty Bezoar they pilot an oaken Hull through Hell. Citizens! Come! Look into the bright light of the future and hear the words of the universe!

...and after having shared the stage with Pentagram at Planet Caravan Festival in Asheville, NC in 2009, Hull is very excited to experience the unpredictability of the infamous Mr. Bobby Liebling once again. Hopefully fans may even get a glimpse of his doppelganger, Sir Greg Peterson of Batillus fame."

Hull have been holed up at an undisclosed location working on the follow-up to their Sole Lord debut, issued via The End Records in 2009. The unsung five-piece's difficult-to-pinpoint but ultimately all-consuming brand of post-hardcore/sludge metal continues to draw praise from the masses.

Hull's sophomore full-length will be co-produced by Brett Romnes (who played drums on the band's long coveted Viking Funeral EP, initially self-released in 2007) and mixed by Bill Anderson. A May 2011 street date is expected.
