THE BLACK ANGELS - PASSOVER (2LP)

The Black Angels Passover on 2LP

Passover, The Black Angels 2006 debut album, speaks of real-life horrors, death and destruction with equal doses of love, sex and healing. Growing in spades since their self-titled EP released the year prior, Passover showcases a band on the make. “The Sniper At The Gates Of Heaven” sees the group reaching high and stretching out with trance-inducing guitar lines from Christian Bland, Nate Ryan’s filthy medical dumpster bass, and the grizzly preacher vox of lead shaman Alex Maas while “Black Grease” is a bluesy monster full of swagger propelled by the primitive beat of drummer Stephanie Bailey and the mourning drone of organist Jennifer Raines. 10-songs deep, Passover finds the Texas quintet at the threshold of psychedelic rock's new wave, one they've been riding gracefully ever since.
