Black Rainbows to Reissue Stellar Prophecy and Hawkdope on July 26

Has there been a better album title this decade than Hawkdope (review here). The 2015 outing from then-burgeoning Italian trio Black Rainbows (pictured above circa 2016) was followed on a quick turnaround the next year by Stellar Prophecy (review here), and the two records represent an important stretch for the band in terms both of their profile and their creative development. Reissuing them together with new artwork seems fair enough to me, particularly for those who may have gotten on board with the band since and been unable to purchase them because they’re sold out.

These are recent records, obviously, more than historical reissues, but still relevant, and those who want to chase down extra copies either for the art or just to have another version can do so. I certainly understand the impulse.

Preorders are up now, as the PR wire dutifully informs:

BLACK RAINBOWS to reissue rock record classics Hawkdope and Stellar Prophecy!

Coming July 26th on Heavy Psych Sounds!

Since they formed twelve years ago in Roma, the Italian trio BLACK RAINBOWS have established themselves as one of the most active fuzz-fueled rock acts in Europe. With six albums, a remarkable handful of EPs (including a split record with L.A.’s space rockers Farflung) and countless tours and festival appearances across the continent, blending the drive and swagger of 70’s hard rock with the sun-baked thickness of 90’s stoner rock, BLACK RAINBOWS have managed to create their very own sound imprint. Following their critically acclaimed 2018- effort, Pandaemonium, the band fronted by extraordinary vocalist and guitarist Gabriele Fiori has just announced to re-release two tasty pieces of their fuzzy record cake and back catalogue, with the timeless classics Hawkdope and Stellar Prophecy!

Hawkdope was released in 2015, while Stellar Prophecy followed just a year later. Both so spacey, psyche and blistering, two fuzz rock trips at its best: This is 100% BLACK RAINBOWS!

Says frontman Gabriele Fiori: “We’re so excited to repress Hawkdope and Stellar Prophecy, two really important albums for us, the fact we are repressing it means our audience enjoyed and supported us so much! The new alternative cover artwork look so rad, as well as the new vinyl versions!“

Both records are set to be reissued via powerhouse label Heavy Psych Sounds on July 26th 2019, the pre-sale has just started at THIS LOCATION!
