BlackLab to Perform in London

"Dark witch doom duo" BlackLab will be playing two shows in the UK in April and May.

The band's very first appearance outside of Japan, a set at the underground festival Desertfest, will be taking place at the Underworld in London on April 29th. Ticket information is available here.

BlackLab were originally scheduled to make their overseas debut at the event in May 2020, but the festival was cancelled that year due to the coronavirus pandemic. We had a chance to ask the members some questions regarding the event and their second album Abyss around the same time. 

Their second overseas appearance will be a one-off show with Black Shape and Wallowing in London at The Victoria Dalston on May 2nd. Admission for this event is free, and it is available here.

In addition, BlackLab are planning to release their third album this summer. While no details regarding that release are available just yet, they put out a new digital single titled Abyss Woods on April 22nd to give fans a sample of what's to come. Produced by Jun Morino and mixed by Wayne Adams, the song is said to offer "furious fuzzed up riffs, rolling thunder drums and vocals slipping seamlessly from melodic to full on throat shred".

The song is available for purchase and streaming via Bandcamp, and on other digital music platforms.  

A music video for Abyss Woods was also just unveiled today:
