Release: 23 March 2012
"The US state of California evokes mental images of beaches, blue skies, easy living sun and surfing. Enter BLACK SHEEP WALL. Hailing from Moorpark in the greater area of Los Angeles, these Americans redefine the meaning of heaviness. Pitch black guitar clouds are seething and billowing on dark horizons. The leaden droning of Sludge creates a miasma of melancholy and foreboding of doom. Massive vocals erupt out of Trae Malone's gravel-filled throat with veins standing out thick as cables from a swollen neck. While bursting from the same energy that drives classic NOLA bands like EYEHATEGOD, BLACK SHEEP WALLincorporate the structured patterns of late NEUROSIS with a little dash of the groove found in early MASTODON and in tranquil moments even a subtle hint of the melodic scope that marks DEFTONES. Founded by a bunch of middle school kids playing together in Moorpark, BLACK SHEEP WALL officially formed in late 2006. A debut "I Am God Songs" was recorded without any expectations as the band began to crumble before the album was completed. Yet parts of the recordings found their way to the net, where they created such a buzz that "I Am God Songs" was signed for release in Europe in October 2008. Since then several line-up changes occurred, countless songs were written and forgotten until BLACK SHEEP WALL re-emerged out of self-inflicted obscurity with the most stunning "No Matter Where It Ends" now to be released on Season of Mist. Get ready for a painful ride as heavy as dark yet catchy as it can be."
