BLACK HOLE GENERATOR Streaming New Song “Moloch”; A Requiem For Terra Album Out This Friday

Black Hole Generator’s new album, A Requiem For Terra, is set to hit the streets this Friday, November 18th and is now available to pre-order here in CD and vinyl formats, as well as at this location, where the album is also available digitally. The album track “Moloch” can be heard below.

Black Hole Generator’s creator Bjornar E. Nilsen had this to say about the track: “’Moloch’ was one of the first tracks that was finalized for the album. It is one of my personal favourites from A Requiem For Terra and it acts as the centrepiece for the album. It embodies the album’s bleak atmosphere which spans most of its dynamic range. Starting off as a mesmerizing hymn to the deity Moloch, it is broken up by frantic, furious parts tearing everyone from their mantric slumbers. On this track I was lucky to get Gjermund from Taake and Orkan on board on lead guitars, and his contribution really shines on this one!”

It’s been ten years since the appearance of Black Hole Generator’s debut release, the Black Karma MCD, and given Nilsen’s standing not only as Vulture Industries’ frontman, well known for his idiosyncratic vocals and eccentric stage performances, but also as one of Norway’s most successful producers, working with bands such as Taake and Helheim, as well as one of the people behind the Dark Essence Records and Karisma Records labels, the delay is hardly surprising.

A Requiem For Terra,will delight many guitar fans with guitarist Arve Isdal (Enslaved, Audrey Horne) being joined on the album by the previously-mentioned Gjermund Fredheim, who guests on three of the tracks, and Dag Terje Andersen, who provides additional guitars.

Artwork for A Requiem For Terra is by the Romanian artist and designer Costin Chioreanu.
