On October 31,1984, a little-known outfit from Cleveland, Ohio called Black Death released their first and only LP on a small regional label called Auburn Records. Initially formed in 1977 by a charismatic headbanger known as Siki Spacek, who honed his metallurgic craft following a cathartic Judas Priest concert, they emerged as one of the first traditional heavy metal bands comprised entirely of African-American musicians. Over the course of three decades since the band's premature demise, their tough hymns of swift metal justice have come to be regarded as obscure classics of the Golden Age of American heavy metal. Now, 31 years later, Siki Spacek has returned with Black Death Resurrected and the long-awaited second LP, The Return of the Iron Messiah on Wyrd War Records.
The reinvigorated lineup consists of Vincent Lindsay on lead guitar, a former member from the mid 80s who recorded on the band's unreleased 1988 demo, as well as Bobby Bim on bass guitar, a close Black Death affiliate from the early days who was originally slated to perform on the first LP. Delivering 40 minutes of powerful street walkin' sermons written between 1983-2013, this brand new offering slides perfectly into the catalog precisely where the debut album left off. Recorded by Billy Morris (Quiet Riot, Warrant, Black 'N Blue) and mastered for vinyl by Timothy Stollenwerk, The Return of the Iron Messiah is a modern day metal masterpiece.
Includes three brand new demo BONUS TRACKS recorded in February 2017 with the then-current live lineup that the world has never heard until now!
released October 31, 2015
