about
It's 2022 and Blacklab are back. The self styled ‘Dark witch doom duo from Osaka, Japan’ are set to drop their third album in the Summer and we can categorically say that it is a veritable beast of a record. More on that to come though.
In the meantime ahead of their first appearance outside of Japan at London's Desertfest. The band are dropping a new single which is a little taster for the sonic mayhem to come on album 3. THIS IS THE SINGLE VERSION, THE FULL LENGTH VERSION WILL APPEAR ON THEIR NEW ALBUM SO WATCH THIS SPACE.
'Abyss Woods' has all the trademark Blacklab sounds, furious fuzzed up riffs, rolling thunder drums and vocals slipping seamlessly from melodic to full on throat shred. Heavy stoner doom as only the Japanese can do. Add to that a new found assurance in the studio, with production by Jun Morino and mix by Wayne Adams (Big Lad, Green Lung, John, Cold In Berlin) and you have a potent indication of what's to come. In fact album 3 ramps things up even further we can assure you.

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo
A terrifically woozy slab of psychedelic stoner rock, where big riffs grind against saxophones, omnichords, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 17, 2018
The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 15, 2016
