Existential by Black Talon
Black Talon was formed in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2010. Fuelled by the positive response to their early live performances, the band recorded a 3-track demo that provided a snapshot of their still-developing sound in early 2011 and followed that with the release of the ‘Incinerator’ single and video the following year. Having honed their sound through exhilarating live shows played all around the UK, their debut album ‘Endless Realities’ was released in 2015. Black Talon have shared stages with bands such as Warbringer, Onslaught, Gama Bomb, Havok, Xentrix, Skeletonwitch, Aura Noir and more, and are now ready to show the progression of their sound with the release of 5-track EP ‘Existential’ in 2019.
Musically, Black Talon naturally take their cues from classic thrash in the vein of Forbidden, Exodus and Testament with the goal of building ambitious, twisting songs that combine progressive technicality with straight-up speed and memorable hooks. This is not just another clone ‘revival’ band content to rehash a few riffs from the 80's and add some lyrics about beer and pizza.
