From the aptly named opening track "The Quiet Before the Storm" through the thundering conclusion of "Chain of Command", Chapel Hill, NC's BLACK SKIES throw their heavy hat into the ring with their latest EP "Hexagon". Together for just over three years, BLACK SKIES weave their songs with well-thought and executed riffs playing alongside a churning organic groove. This is tonal chemistry befitting of a legendary band sharing the same initials, yet with a decidedly American flavor. Through hard work BLACK SKIES has been making waves across the eastern half of the United States and continue gaining momentum with tours booked throughout 2009, including an appearance at this year's SXSW in Austin. If these six tracks serve as a fitting prelude of greater things to come, the next waves of attack from this sonic strike-force will truly be something to behold.
The limited edition vinyl pressing of "Hexagon" is available now to ship out 5/26/09 via I'm Better Than Everyone Records, and features exclusive cover artwork by Tom Denney.
