Blackwater Holylight Finish Recording New Album
Blackwater Holylight have a new record in the can, and if you’ve spent the better part of your day, week, month, etc., doomscrolling various endtimes scenarios of escalating culture-war-as-actual-war, climate crisis, rampant plague, and so on, this might just be enough to hang your hat on for a little bit. 2019’S Veils of Winter (review here) was easily among the most repeat-listenable offerings of that so-long-ago-now year, and the fact that the Portland-based heavy psych rockers have returned to work with engineer Dylan White bodes well, even as they also brought in A.L.N. of Mizmor to produce.
What the hell, something to look forward to. I’m still pretty bitter about not getting to catch Blackwater Holylight for what would’ve been the first time in my beloved Garden State on their game-called-on-account-of-pandemic tour with All Them Witches, but at least it’s good to know they were writing songs this year. You may also likely note in the studio picture below that synthesist Sarah Mckenna is very, very pregnant. The band noted in an earlier post she’s at nine months, so cheers on that and here’s hoping the studio had someplace comfortable to sit.
Obviously I haven’t seen a release plan or even a title for what will be Blackwater Holylight‘s third album, presumably for RidingEasy Records, but when I do I’ll let you know. In the meantime, if you want to take the opportunity to pay Veils of Winter a revisit, it’s as good a time as any and the Bandcamp stream follows here.
The band’s Instagram post was short and sweet and went like this:
That’s a wrap! Was such a pleasure working with @whollydoomedblackmetal and @glasswavs… fucking dream team, dream family, we are bursting! Excited to share with you all soon.
