BLACK HOLE GENERATOR - Album Details And Artwork Revealed

Fans of Black Hole Generator have had a long wait since the release of the band's Black Karma MCD - ten years in fact! But now the wait is over, with the band's much anticipated debut full-length album entitled A Requiem For Terra set to hit the streets on Dark Essence Records on the 18th November.
Black Hole Generator is the project of Vulture Industries frontman Bjørnar E. Nilsen, and given his work schedule, it is hardly surprising that a new album has been so long in the making. Not only has Nilsen been kept busy with the ever-increasingly successful Vulture Industries, he is also one of Norway's most noted producers, working with bands such as Taake and Helheim, as well as owning Bergen's Conclave and Earshot Studios with Enslaved's Herbrand Larsen and Arve Isdal. Not to mention the fact that he is one of the people behind the burgeoning success of the  Dark Essence Records and Karisma Records labels. 
So what exactly can we expect from A Requiem For Terra? Aside from Nilsens' distinctive and highly charged vocals, A Requiem For Terra contains enough stand-out riffing to satisfy the souls of any guitar aficionados, with Arve Isdal (Enslaved, Audrey Horne) on guitars, Gjermund Fredheim (Taake, Orkan) performing lead guitars on three of the tracks, and additional guitars by Dag Terje Andersen.
The seven-track album  shifts between the bleak aural landscapes that depict a desolate world, and  the frantic torrent of the abyss.  From the doom laden opening title track, to the mesmerizing riffing of “Moloch", via the catchy “Beneath A Chemical Sky” to the fierce “Emerging Pantheon”, A Requiem For Terra offers the listener a wide dynamic range.
With artwork by the Romanian artist and designer Costin Chorineu, and the video single "Moloch", tracklisting on A Requiem For Terra is as follows below. Link
