I know you’ll all be surprised and devastated to learn that when Atlanta doom mavens Zoroaster were looking for a place to stream “Black Hole” from their forthcoming E1 Music debut, Matador, they did not come to The Obelisk. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when you’re a band looking to promote a new release, there’s nothing quite like not The Obelisk to get it done.

At least I can take solace from my irrelevance in the fact that it was the good people of Brooklyn Vegan who got the premiere. Matador is out July 13, and Zoroaster hit the road middle of this month to promote the album with the oh-so-hot-right-now Black Tusk and underrated Floridian purveyors Dark Castle. Stream “Black Hole” below.

And in case you were wondering whether or not it’s metal, just look at that dynamic range. No other genre has such oppressive waveforms.
