Birth by Black Magnet
Black Magnet are the progenitors of the new wave of American industrial metal. Described by Revolver as “excoriating and texturally scalding brand of metallic machine music”, Black Magnet has two successful full length albums under their belt, “Hallucination Scene” and “Body Prophecy”, both under the 20 Buck Spin label. In 2023 Black Magnet released two new singles ‘Birth’ and ‘Desert Boots’ that mark a significant shift as the band has evolved from a solo project to a four-piece band.
After the addition of a lead guitarist, live drums, and a synth player, the band is expanding from their synthetic industrial machine driven roots into new territories found in 90’s alternative metal. With influences ranging from Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, and Alice in Chains, it’s clear Black Magnet play HEAVY guitar focused music with equal devotion to danceable industrial rhythms and intense electronic thunder.
Black Magnet's lineup includes current and former members of Greg Puciato’s solo project (Federal Prisoner) and All Your Sisters (The Flenser).
