Black Cross announce new album

Contributed by elephantdwarf. Posted by chris on Sunday, April 29, 2007 at 4:00 PM (EDT)

Black Cross have announced plans to release a new record on Auxilliary Records in late July. The band had the following to say about it:

: We have been slowly but surely mixing the Black Cross recordings and are now about to put the disc into production. The title of the album is SEVERANCE PAYS and it features 11 tracks of stripped-down Wipers and Dischord inspired punk rock songs. Artist Bill Widener, known for his incredible Laughing Hyenas cover art, wil be providing the front and back cover artwork, which is a dream come true for us. We hope to have the CD out in late July and will hopefully play some shows in the midwest around that time.

The band's last output was 2004's b-sides compilation Widows Bloody Widows.

Radness.

I've been waiting for this record for freaking years. Thank goodness.

Someone (April 29, 2007)

i just listened to nothington's stream...ive seriously been missing out. whos their drummer?

Someone (April 29, 2007)

this band is phenomenal. easily one of the best in hardcore. it breaks my heart how they get slept on and colliseum and young widows/breather resist get all the attention.

Someone (April 29, 2007)

I much prefer Colliseum, Young Widows/Breather Resist, and Lords.

Someone (April 29, 2007)

nah, black cross all the way. lords doesn't have anyone from black cross though, does it?

Someone (April 29, 2007)

I don't think so. Just mentioned them since they're all the same area, same "scene."

elephantdwarf (April 29, 2007)

they're all slightly different. and they're all good!

Actually, their last record was a 3 song CDep from Auxillary called "Sink, Knives & Chrome" you can get it from 23north.com (the Level Plane distro).

Thanks ultramort, as I was typing, I knew something didn't seem right.

elephantdwarf (April 29, 2007)

that wasn't my error, i didn't include that last part in my posting. "Sink, Knives & Chrome" has 3 amazing songs though.

Someone (May 1, 2007)

The EP wasn't, by any stretch of the imagination, their greatest work.

If the teaser-song, is any indication, this record will slay

Someone (April 29, 2007)

BrandonSideleau (April 29, 2007)
