Luke Late to the game on this but the Bhleg split got me interested. And the hype is justified. One of the best albums of the year.

Album_Hunters My FAVORITE album of 2022!

Its beautiful and evocative all the right places. Even my bros who aren't metal nerds enjoy it. This album SLAYS!

- Album Hunters

porcelainheart- A lot catchier than their last album, with an emphasis on acoustics and clean singing. FFO Finnr's Cane, Panopticon, Gallowbraid and Alda. Favorite track: Generations of War.

about

Though Kanawha Black was inspired by events both factual and anecdotal in American prehistory and frontier history, the songwriting gradually progressed into an album that has a less earthy and more otherworldly atmosphere. As we tracked, mixed, and mastered this album over several years, Kanawha Black seemed to originate from and reside somewhere in the ether. On the surface, the songs’ topics continue to explore our region; Appalachia (specifically the Ohio River Valley of West Virginia and Ohio as well as the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania) continues to provide our greatest artistic influence. However, we hope that these songs will also convey to the listener that the essence of the past, even in fleeting moments in our modern lives, is still connected to us in many ways through natural mystery. Kanawha Black is our attempt to tap into the veil of this connection.
