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 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.
Black Skies released their debut self-titled EP in August 2007, Aqua Dogs b/w Family Man 7" put out by
Chapel Hill vinyl label Sirena Discos in Spring 2008, "Hexagon" EP, self-released in June 2008 and a
limited edition vinyl pressing of "Hexagon" in May 2009 via I'm Better Than Everyone Records, featuring
exclusive cover artwork by Tom Denny.
