Sounds Like
Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Pantera, the Kidney Thieves, Marilyn Manson and Dead Can Dance thrown into a blender.
Some create music to bring light into a dark world; Black Snake Moan creates music to snuff that light out.
Drawing on a host of musical influences beautiful and terrible; Black Snake Moan stitches order out of musical chaos. Dancing back and forth across the line between metal and industrial, Black Snake Moan fuses throbbing beats and razor sharp synths with a caustic wall of guitar and bass. An aggressive hybrid in the tradition of Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, Black Snake Moan is a powerful, accessible new voice in industrial rock.
Sonically, Black Snake Moan begins where their influences leave off. Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Dead Can Dance and a host of other industrial, metal, and gothic influences assert themselves throughout Black Snake Moans 2005 CD Tension, as well as onstage. The CD captures the sound of the bands live performances while embracing the concept of a modern, three-dimensional musical experience. With its liberal use of keyboards and samples, as well as its solid rock/metal foundation, Tension is a powerful combination of danceability and aggressivity.
Black Snake Moan is currently booking shows and recording a CD of new material. Black Snake Moan is poised to play supporting and headlining slots throughout the Northern California area. For booking or press information please contact: Blacksnakemoan@gmail.com
