This is it! The Real Thing!
From the White Town of the North, Oulu, Finland, hail THE BLACK LEAGUE — the serious kick in the ass that this dormant music scene has been waiting for all these years of pseudo-heavy schlager metall and quasi-brutal anti-music mish-mash! THE BLACK LEAGUE is Dark Wave Rock Metal! Outstanding musicianship and wordcraft blended with the purest rock’n’roll drive! End-of-Time music for the Brave New Era! Their long-awaited debut album "ICHOR" is out on Nuclear Blast Records in June 2000!
"ICHOR" (Gr. ‘ihúr, "blood of the gods") is a 13-track soundtrack for the tragicomedy of human existence in our modern reality, ranging from in-your-face rock metal groove outbursts to psychethereal aural dream experimentations delivered with the uncompromising attitude of crushing the conventions and clichès of the mainstream! The song-writing process for "ICHOR" has been exceptionally long (1992-1999) and, hence, the album material is a result of strictly darwinian natural selection: only the strongest tunes and the best-thought-out lines live up to the present day! Nihilo-cynical realism, idiographic psychodrama, arctic angst with a bitter scent of escapism and eschatology set a-drifting down the stream of consciousness…Truly an End-of-Time release for the Brave New Era!
