BLACK LUNG - Forever Beyond - Blue

When you find yourself adrift at zero gravity with a dreamy smile on your face, youve probably booked a flight into space on Black Lungs latest inter-dimensional transport Forever Beyond. The veteran trio from Baltimore, Maryland have fine-tuned the recipe of their musical rocket fuel, distilled from stoner doom, psychedelic rock, and other fiery ingredients. Black Lungs unique concoction drives every track with captivating tunes, melodic riffing, pumping rhythms, and the inimitable vocal cords of Dave Cavalier taking it home. Every single song on Forever Beyond hits its mark perfectly. Undertones of anger and defiance manifest as many of the songs are artistic reactions to the historic political upheaval in the USA, dealing lyrically with the lure of fascism, blind nationalism, and corporate oligarchy. Black Lung came into being when two founding members of Baltimores well-established psych rock band THE FLYING EYES, guitarist and organ player Adam Bufano and drummer Elias Schutzman, teamed up with multi-instrumentalist Dave Cavalier in early 2014. The trio set themselves apart from the crowded field of psych doom and heavy blues with a sonic interchange of fuzzed-drenched guitars, deep driving drumbeats, and Cavaliers raw, blues-tinged vocals. During the pandemic years, Black Lung managed to push forward with new guitarist Dave Fullerton, which resulted in the fourth album Dark Waves. On this milestone, they abandoned some pet ideas such as eschewing bass guitar live in favour of guitars through bass amps, along with the black and white aesthetics that had dominated their artwork of their first three full-lengths. With Forever Beyond, Black Lung demonstrate that it is possible to rage against injustice with an utmost joyful defiance!
