Black Lava – ‘Soul Furnace’ Vinyl

During the turbulent and uncertain years of 2020-2021, perhaps none were plunged deeper into the darkness than those from down under. However, some of the greatest art is created through solitude and desolation, as is the case with Black Lava, the emerging blackened death metal quartet from Melbourne, Australia.

Founded by drummer Dan Presland (Vipassi, AMDBL, ex-Ne Obliviscaris) and guitarist Ben Boyle (Vipassi, AMDBL, Hadal Maw), Black Lava draws influence from old-school death and black metal bands while injecting groove-laden melodies and progressive elements to create their own experimental sound.
