Our Take

BLACK INK RIVER's latest offering, "Headstrong," is a kaleidoscopic journey through the wild world of alternative rock. From the moment the opening track kicks in, you're transported to a sonic landscape where the guitars wail like a banshee in the night and the drums pound like a heart on the verge of explosion.

Frontman Johnny Black's vocals are like a shot of espresso to the soul, fierce and unapologetic. His lyrics cut through the noise like a knife through butter, unafraid to tackle themes of love, loss, and everything in between.

The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, at times leaving you feeling uplifted and empowered, and at others, vulnerable and exposed. Tracks like "Rebel Soul" and "Wild Child" are anthems for the rebellious spirit, while slower ballads like "Eclipse" showcase a more introspective side to the band's songwriting.

Musically, "Headstrong" is a masterclass in genre-blending, with elements of punk, grunge, and even a hint of psychedelia thrown into the mix. The production is top-notch, with each instrument given its time to shine and the overall sound feeling crisp and polished.

Overall, "Headstrong" is a triumph for BLACK INK RIVER, showcasing their growth as musicians and their dedication to pushing the boundaries of rock music. Strap in and get ready for a wild ride.

About the artist

Black Ink River

BLACK INK RIVER: The enigmatic musical duo with a name as dark and mysterious as their sound. Comprised of lead vocalist Raven Nightshade and multi-instrumentalist Blake Shadow, these two bring a blend of gothic rock and electronic influences that will have you hooked from the first listen. Hailing from the foggy streets of London, BLACK INK RIVER has been making waves in the music scene with their haunting melodies and cryptic lyrics. They draw inspiration from the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode, and The Cure, but manage to carve out a sound that is uniquely their own. Raven Nightshade's vocals are a force to be reckoned with, soaring to unearthly heights one moment and plunging into the depths of despair the next. Blake Shadow's instrumentation is equally impressive, weaving together layers of synths, guitars, and drum machines to create a sonic tapestry that is both moody and mesmerizing. Their debut album, "Shadows of the Night", has been hailed as a modern classic, with its brooding atmospheres and infectious hooks leaving listeners spellbound. Tracks like "Midnight Serenade" and "Ghosts of the Past" are perfect examples of BLACK INK RIVER's ability to blend darkness and light in a way that is both captivating and thrilling. With a live show that is equal parts spectacle and sonic assault, BLACK INK RIVER is a band that demands to be seen as well as heard. So grab your eyeliner, don your leather jacket, and join them on a journey through the shadows - you won't regret it.
