Black Lakes

BLACK | LAKES are back with their highly anticipated second album, the dystopian monolith - DEAD GODS. (06/09/24) Mixed and Mastered by Grammy nominated and premier hard rock and metal producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Motörhead, Bullet For My Valentine) as well as contributions from cinematic mastermind Owen Gurry (Blade Runner 2049, James Bond) DEAD GODS reflects a seismic evolution in the sonic landscape of BLACK | LAKES. Building on the back of 2022s ‘Album of the year’ FOR ALL WE’VE LEFT BEHIND. (ERB, Midnight Tornado, East London Radio) DEAD | GODS does not shy away from tackling contemporary themes like immigration and populism (on WHITE CLIFFS) , climate degradation (on RAPTURE) and political unrest and upheaval (on the visceral H.A.T.E.) as well as more personal struggles with imposter syndrome (on VAPOUR), our damaging and duplicitous relationship with social media (on DARK GLASS) and questions secular religion and deicide on the behemoth title track DEAD | GODS. Kerrang! The deal finalists (2023) and Planet Rock Bloodstock Sophie Lancaster Stage Winners (2024) BLACK | LAKES are touring extensively in support of their sophomore effort in 2024/25 including festival performances at WINTER STORM, ROXOFF and LOVE LIVE.
