Losing no time, the emblematic fuzz trio is set to release their brand new full-length Stellar Prophecythis April 15th, closely following their well-acclaimed fourth effort Hawkdope released in early 2015. BLACK RAINBOWS continue their exploration of the 70’s stoner rock sound, still reaching a perfect balance between hectic fuzz-driven anthems and highly psychedelic rock jams.
The band will also hit the roads in support of the new album with a full European tour to kick off this week in Italy, and later including appearances at Bilbao’s Kristonfest and German festival Freak Valley.

Since they formed nine years ago in Roma, Italian trio BLACK RAINBOWS have established themselves as one of the most active fuzz-fueled rock acts in Europe, with four albums, a remarkable handful of EPs (including a split record with L.A.’s space rockers Farflung) and countless tours and festival appearances across the continent.
Blending the drive and swagger of 70’s hard rock with the sun-baked thickness of 90’s stoner rock, BLACK RAINBOWS have managed to create their own sound imprint, that could be described as “Hawkwind, MC-5 and Nebula crashing cars in the middle of the Mojave desert”. Closely following with their highly acclaimed effort Hawkdope, the band is set to deliver another tasty piece of their fuzzy cake with fifth full-length Stellar Prophecy, out on April 15th via Heavy Psych Sounds.
When my old buddy Kenn Jensen asked me if I wanted to contribute to the new site he had created, then called powermetal.dk, I didn't hesitate. My love for metal music was and is great. I wrote my first review during the summer of 2004 (Moonspell's 'Antidote' album). In 2015, I took over the editor-in-chief role.
