The Black Hounds Live Performance Razor's Edge

Bio

The Black Hounds are a heavy metal band formed in 2013.

Hailing from Wolverhampton, The Black Hounds aim to serve up a slice of black country heavy metal to fans across the UK and beyond. Taking influences from a multitude of bands such as Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, Tool, Machine head and Iron Maiden, The Black Hounds have developed a sound and style that cannot be easily categorised.

Think songs layered with riff upon riff, hook after hook and a groove laden rhythm section stomping its way through each track. The first track to ever be written by The Black Hounds was Clarity and from the start the groove that gives The Black hounds their edge became apparent. It is a theme that has occurred time and time again throughout subsequent tracks.

March 2015 marked the release of the debut EP entitled Love and Death. Containing 3 tracks, the Love and Death EP was a statement of intent from The Black Hounds that they were here, and you won’t want to miss this! The EP was well received and described as “Ball-achingly intense, a contender for EP of the year” by The Midlands Rocks.

How does a band follow up a “Ball-achingly intense” EP? With another of course! 2016 was the release of the 2nd EP entitled Gallows. This was a 4 track EP that gave The Black Hounds chance to develop their sound. The title track Gallows using song dynamics to their fullest.

In 2019, after a change of line-up; Ant, Connor, Tom and Joe came together and brought The Black Hounds back better than ever before. Writing new material commenced immediately and rehearsals and subsequent live shows sounded as fierce as ever. As a result of tireless hard work, The Black Hounds reached the final of Metal to the Masses Wolverhampton and were nominated in the “Best Metal Band” category at the Black Country Music Awards. In recognition of their hard work Mayhem Music Management added The Black Hounds to their growing roster of bands. To round off a brilliant year for The Black Hounds, they headed into the studio to begin recording their debut album.

The 2020 release Colossus (14th August 2020) was released and was received well across the metal scene. “The shredding is so crushing, the weight is like a U.S. Marines whirling a helicopter just overhead” is what Midlands Metalheads radio had to say about it. “Metal riffs raining down like a plague” and “The Black Hounds come out swinging” by The Razor’s Edge and Metal express radio respectively.

The Black Hounds went on to release a debut music video for their track “Crown of Bones” and have been signed up to the DC Sound Attack roster.

January, April, August and December 2023 saw the release of brand new singles “Foundations”, “Tyrant”, “Breaking the Cycle” and “Grace” respectively which have become The Black Hounds’ highest streamed songs of all time!

So, what does the future look like for The Black Hounds?

The Black Hounds have been hard at work in the studio recording new material and 1st March 2024 will see their BRAND NEW album “All Kingdoms Fall” released on all platforms. Available now http://www.theblackhounds.bandcamp.com/album/all-kingdoms-fall
