Freak Valley 2016: Black Rainbows Join Lineup
That Roman trio Black Rainbows might seem to have broken through with their fourth album, 2015’s Hawkdope (review here), is no coincidence. In addition to guitarist/vocalist Gabriele Fiori having a genuine impact on the European and US heavy underground through his work booking tours and with his Heavy Psych Sounds label, the band has continued a push with a steady stream of tours and releases over the last half-decade-plus, building this momentum from the ground up and doing right by themselves and the sphere of Italian heavy rock in the process.
The latest beneficiary of their continued efforts? Germany’s Freak Valley 2016, which will host the band at the end of May. We’re just days out from the fest’s last announcement, which was Graveyard, so if you want to take the company they’re keeping as a sign of Black Rainbows‘ work paying off, so be it.
Word from the fest went like this:
BLACK RAINBOWS will bring their psychedelic, lysergic storm of heavy space-rock to FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2016
The Italian psych-fuzz trio BLACK RAINBOWS sound like the bastard offspring of â70s hard-rock swagger and â90s stoner-groove; hints of Black Sabbath, MC5 fuse with liberal pinches of Monster Magnet, Nebula and Fu Manchu.
Since 2007 the band have released four full-length albums, coupled with split releases and also been regulars on stages across the world having now performed over 400 gigs. Hawkdope, their last record has been one of the best acclaimed albums of 2015, the band never stop activity will bring awesome news regard spring 2016..stay tuned!
