Bursting out of Western Sydney, Australia, The Black Arts Movement are here to change your perception of modern metal.
With genres and stereotypes being the new black, T.B.A.M throws this on its head, baring a title and profile that polarises its audience; the willing from the complacent: Black Arts? Think a little further.
The Black Arts Movement is about the progression of metal from socially outcast stereotype to a credible form of music that is both accessible yet abrasive and confronting. Its about aggressive music being a tangible medium that can churn a crowd into frenzy yet on another face provide contemplative thought and emotion.
The Black Arts Movement formed in early 2004 after the demise of previous incarnation Baraka which had been playing with local and interstate bands since 1998. T.B.A.M grew out of an idea to push peoples perceptions of what extreme metal is by combining influences ranging from folk music to brutal death metal, to create something that could seem commercial as well as underground.
After 2 years of hard work, over which they have earnt a solid reputation for an impressive live show playing with local and national bands, T.B.A.M. is ready to release their debut EP a wall and a tomb. A hard hitting 7 track journey rising from moments ambient and haunting to scathing and brutal, it bares the heart and soul of their intentions, proving that metal can be multifaceted and layered yet direct.
T.B.A.M. began the release of ..a wall and a tomb at the Metal In The Veins III festival, followed by an impressive headlining show at Sydneys The Metro Lair to officially release the EP.
Later in 2006 The Black Arts Movement announced that vocalist Pat Oriss had decided to leave the band. Plans for further touring were put on hold as vocalists were auditioned, and finally a frontman was selected - CJ Wylde. The decision to include an additoinal guitarist to help push the style that the band was moving in was also made with Tommy Jarvis joining the fold, and so The Black Arts Movement became a 5 peice. With new tracks emerging and current material being even more impressive and overpowering than before, a live show is coming together that will see The Black Arts Movement burst back out into the unsuspecting crowds in early 2007, for all to take notice.
Are you ready to join the movement?
