Los Angeles doom rockers Black Prism issued their self-titled debut on Xmas Day in 2016, sending it down the digital chimneys of riffhounds and reaping a worldwide response lauding their Iommian loyalism, blues tinge, and preached-to-the-converted groove. The eight-track outing, which makes itself present in its doomly sphere via songs like “Lone Pine,” “Alaska” and “Black Mountain Road,” despite hailing from a town so sunny its inhabitants complain of a lack of seasons. They roll out righteous proto-metallic chug on “Psychomania” and find a peculiar charm in the fuzz wash of “Booger Sugar,” which precedes the particularly dug-in untitled bonus track. Dudes know where they’re coming from, very clearly, and they make it plain for their listeners to hear every step of the way.

A debut of such marked intent is easily worth a look on vinyl, and clearly Cursed Tongue Records feels the same way, as the label has brought Black Prism into its ranks alongside recent signees like Tempelheks, Hashteroid and Mephistofeles, among others. A September release has been set for the self-titled, as the label informs via the PR wire below, and you can of course stream the album in full at the bottom of this post.

Here goes:

BLACK PRISM SIGNS TO CURSED TONGUE RECORDS FOR WORLD WIDE RELEASE OF THEIR CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED SELF-TITLED ABLUM IN SEPTEMBER 2018.

Cursed Tongue Records is geniunely thrilled to announce the signing of LA, California band Black Prism for a release of their critically acclaimed self-titled album on hight quality heavy weight vinyl in September 2018. Originally released digitally on their Bandcamp page back in December 2016 Black Prism’s debut album resonated within the stoner and doom underground with such a massive impact that it never really left. Instead their debut kept vibrating as a dark vital eccho within our souls filling a crucial void in our blackened doom hearts.

We where never able to put this album, or Black Prism for that matter, away and kept searching for the light of confirmation at the end of the tunnel that the album one day would materialize itself in the ultimate tangible medium – vinyl. Fast forward summer 2018 and Cursed Tongue Records is here to fulfil this dream of tossing the black prism on your favorite turning table and taking the old girl for a spin.

Black Prism successfully made an “instant classic” in the realm of early 70’s Black Sabbath inspired acid rock at its finest with a Manson Family aesthetic that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. It’s an unholy conception of hard rock ritual and cinematic kismet; like a shot in the vein of fellow ‘born-outta-timers’ Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats and Kadavar. At Cursed Tongue Records, Black Prism’s first (and only) album is considered a contemporary dark rock master piece, nothing short of brilliant. The Black Sabbath influence is undeniable, yet the band truly makes a point of its own and in doing so creates a shiny black pearl that simply craves a vinyl makeover in order to truly shine. To us, an album to stand above most other recent hard rock releases.

So without further ado we give to you Black Prism – ‘Black Prism’ on vinyl this September! Stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram pages for more info and pressing info in due time. Expect the usual Cursed Tongue Records full red carpet vinyl treatment.
