Mark Sugar comments on “The Promised Land?“: “In the immediate aftermath of our last album Untrue, we amassed a pile of new ideas pretty quickly. In June 2023, we began recording at the legendary Electrical Audio studios, an amazing experience which feels even more special in light of Steve Albini’s recent passing. Towards the end of the process, we somehow convinced Tom Draper (Spirit Adrift) and Matt Johnsen (Pharaoh) to contribute guest solos to the record.”
Formed in 2016 as a studio project, Black Sites combine Old School Metal with guitar harmonies, melodic/clean vocals and Progressive elements, primarily drawing inspiration from the likes of Voivod, Black Sabbath and king’s X.
