BLACK MAGNET: Industrial Metal Act Confirms Three week US tour

 Oklahoma City-based industrial metal outfit BLACK MAGNET has confirmed a three-week US tour this March. The Violent Mechanix Tour will run from March 1st through the 19th, BLACK MAGNET will be touring alongside King Yosef.

 

BLACK MAGNET will be supporting the band’s second LP, Body Prophecy, which saw release through 20 Buck Spin in July and was touted as one of the top industrial releases of the year. James Hammontree welds the frenetic vitality of post-punk and metal energy with driving synthetic club beats, factory force physicality, and alluringly stark melodic pulses. For all its harsher, scraping atmospheres and pummeling aggression, Body Prophecy always remains an eminently tight, memorable album molded for the stage and constructed to keep bodies in motion and listeners transfixed.

All dates listed here

 

Body Prophecy was engineered and mixed by Sanford Parker at Hypercube Studios (Youth Code, Statiqbloom, Bloodyminded), mastered by Colin Jordan at the Boiler Room (Ministry, Pigface, Eyehategod). The record features artwork by Jesse Draxler (Nine Inch Nails, Ghostmane, H09909), photos by Johnny Bohlen, and a completely re-imagined and extended club style remix by scene legend Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Zonal, Jesu).

 

While mastermind James Hammontree performs all instrumentation in the studio, the BLACK MAGNET lineup is embodied on stage with Ryne Bratcher on guitar, Eric Goreman on synth, and Jared Branson on drums.

Our music is a nice combination of heavy riffs, catchy melodies and symphonic orchestra with some unexpected twists here and there. 2- "A Game of Chess" is the band's upcoming single. How long did it take to compose and record it? We started writing songs for the upcoming album in 2021. Once all the songs were ready and demoed, we recorded most of the instruments in the summer and autumn of 2022. The last recordings took place in the spring of 2023, and we went into mixing. A Game of Chess was the third song we mixed, and soon after it was finished we decided to master and release it to give people the first taste of AI! 3- What musical influences inspire the band's compositions?

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made
