Our Take

BLACKLAB's latest album, "Under The Strawberry Moon," is a tasty treat for your ears that goes down smoother than a pint of Guiness on a Sunday afternoon. This duo from Japan brings a unique blend of doom metal and shoegaze that is as refreshing as a cup of Earl Grey tea.

From the first track, "Hidden Garden," you are transported to a mystical world where ethereal vocals dance over heavy riffs like a drunken sailor on a stormy sea. The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument shining through the mix like a diamond in the rough.

Tracks like "Sweet Ophelia" and "Warm Death" showcase BLACKLAB's ability to seamlessly blend beauty and brutality, like a rose with thorns. The juxtaposition of delicate melodies and crushing guitars creates a dynamic listening experience that is as unpredictable as the British weather.

As the album progresses, you are taken on a journey through the dark and mysterious world of BLACKLAB, where every twist and turn keeps you on your toes like a game of cricket. By the time you reach the final track, "Spoon," you are left craving more like a parched traveller in the desert.

"Under The Strawberry Moon" is a triumph for BLACKLAB, proving once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy music. So grab a scone, pour yourself a cuppa, and let BLACKLAB take you on a sonic adventure that will leave you craving more. Cheers!

About the artist

BlackLab

BLACKLAB is the musical embodiment of a sonic tidal wave - loud, powerful, and impossible to ignore. This duo, comprised of guitarist/vocalist Yuko Morino and drummer Chia Shiraishi, have been making waves in the doom metal scene since their formation in 2016. With their thunderous riffage and bone-rattling rhythms, BLACKLAB have been hailed as the saviours of doom, bringing a fresh and exciting energy to a genre that can often feel stale and derivative. Their debut album, "Under the Strawberry Moon 2.0", was a revelation - a heady cocktail of sludgy guitars, ethereal vocals, and relentless grooves that had critics and fans alike raving. But it's not just their music that sets BLACKLAB apart - it's also their DIY ethos and punk rock spirit. From self-releasing their music to booking their own tours, Morino and Shiraishi are true independent spirits, unafraid to go against the grain and forge their own path in a music industry that can often feel suffocatingly corporate. In a world where conformity is king and mediocrity reigns supreme, BLACKLAB are a breath of fresh air - a reminder that music is supposed to be exciting, challenging, and above all, fun. So buckle up, dear readers, and prepare to be blown away by the sonic onslaught that is BLACKLAB. You won't regret it.
