Black Hole is an obscure Italian trio that recorded its first
LP 'Land Of Mystery' in 1985. That work is considered a doom
masterpiece, a forerunner to the funeral doom sound developed
by others years later, giving the band an increasing
popularity, granting a "cult" status. Few know Black Hole
recorded a second concept-album, 'Living Mask', in 1989, but
this album remained unreleased until 2000 when Andromeda Relics
came up with a limited CD-edition that quickly sold out and
nowadays is almost impossible to find. The best way to describe
Black Hole's sound is experimental horror/doom metal, though certainly not doom metal in the classic sense. Death SS is
acknowledged as a pioneer in Italian horror-inspired doom, and
is a fair comparison for Black Hole.
Also available: LIVING MASK (LP).
