One of the perks of touring practically non-stop for half a year is that you learn to deliver a solid live show. And man, does The Black Atlantic deliver!
Last december we put them in our second home a.k.a New Ground Studio to record their live set. In the end we used 5 songs which will be part of a digital re-release of the album later this year. For now, let us whet your whistle with this beauty of a song called ‘Heirloom’.

Last wednesday, 02-12, The Black Atlantic recorded a special live E.P. at our second home: Studio Newground. Our friend Anneke Hymmen was one of the select few to attend this show and luckily she brought her trusty ol’ camera. Take a look at these snapshots, while we start editing the awesome footage of this show. More info will follow soon on this project.
Sanne Wals is the first song Sanne Vink and Het Gloren recorded at Newground Studio. YES, there is more to come! When? We don’t know. Keep you informed at beepbeep!!
‘A Black House, A Coloured Home’, the second full-length album by We vs. Death will be released the 11th of April in Tivoli de Helling. Crazy rumours are spreading that these instrumental post-rockers actually started singing. Can it be true?!
Come and listen to two exclusive preview tracks. Read the rest of this entry »
hi there again loyal fan and faithful reader
first off, as promised, the juicy stuff:
turns out some people might have misinterpreted the previous blog,
please people, don’t worry, we’re not splitting up. yet.
as a matter of fact, we’re currently trying to straighten things out for our upcoming split with Lost Bear.
The squat in Nijmegen wasn’t such a good idea, they’ll be tracking their stuff somewhere in an old WW-II-hide-out-kind-of-bunker-building.
Being even poorer bums than the homeless animals we’ll share our split-7″ with, WE still have to find a suitable and affordable place to record our tracks. (That is if our plan A of ‘breaking-in-the-newground-studio-at-night-and-record-for-free’ won’t work, since we’re not really good burglars).
Anyways, the songs are beginning to sound pretty much like some kind of ugly machinery waiting to fail anytime soon. Which is, of course, always a good sign to us.
Our side of the split will probably contain 3 hard and fast songs and something of an inbetweener (or weener, if you like)
We’re gonna try making it sound huge, the drummer (which is in fact, me) has bought some oversized drums which should help in our everlasting quest for the trembling of the earth’s core. (ok, got a little carried away..)
What this all means:
i have no clue.
No, it means we’re still rehearsing every week, drinking enough (and sometimes a little less. no really mum.),
got a couple of half-finished songs extra, are still open to donations, finally got sander to wear decent pants, and more-over, that this is just an extra post to fulfill the promise of keeping this crapass blog up to date.
see you again in a month or something.
perhaps we’ll post some pre-recordings, not sure, but there’s a chance!
howdiehoe!
