Former THEATRE OF TRAGEDY drummer Hein Frode Hansen recently launched a new band, THE BLACK LOCUST PROJECT, with Kristian Sigland (vocals, guitars, bass / ex-THE CREST) and Marcus Granlien (guitars / TO CAST A SHADOW). The first clip from their studio sessions can be viewed below:

Two demo tracks, 'We Remain Strangers' and 'Wounded Sky', are available for streaming below. Former Theatre Of Tragedy vocalist Nell Sigland does backing tracks on both songs, but her role is one of subtle nuances rather than an in-your-face performance.
