September 16, 2008, 16 years ago
Seattle’s BOOK OF BLACK EARTH has posted a new song, 'Funeral Of Peace', from the band’s forthcoming album on the band’s MySpace page. Due out Oct. 14 through Prosthetic Records, Horoskopus is Book Of Black Earth’s second full-length, and debut for new home Prosthetic Records. Pre-orders have also begun for the album on both vinyl and CD editions here.
"‘Horoskopus’ is a concept album about the hidden astrological elements of the Christian church,” vocalist / guitarist T.J. Cowgill adds. “From its origins as a state sponsored religion in the fourth century to the present day, it has been guided by astrological concepts conceived centuries before Jesus Christ was mythologized as the ‘Sun’ of God."Book Of Black Earth consists of members of venerable metal underground band TEEN CTHULHU, as well as drummer Joe Axler of SKARP, SPLATTERHOUSE, and IAMTHETHORN, among others.
The band is gearing up for the Black Metal Magic tour, featuring Swedish black metal legends WATAIN and new labelmates WITHERED, including a string of headlining dates on the way out to the first date, Oct. 3 in Toronto.
Book Of Black Earth will also be in-studio co-hosting with the KISW Metal Shop hosts, Steve Rock and Kevin, in Seattle this Saturday, Sept. 20 from 11pm – 2am. Fans can find more information on KISW.com, including the chance to stream the broadcast live over the internet, or locally tune their dials to 99.9 FM.
