Upper Darby, PA. (Top40 Charts/ Relapse Records) As part of their popular Advance series, today behemoth digital media portal, Pitchfork, is streaming BLACK ANVIL's long anticipated Hail Death full-length in its entirety!
The ten-track, J. Robbins-produced Hail Death is at once epic and predatory; an ambitious manifestation of sound that remains true to the band's roots while transcending them in a way that weaves all of their seemingly antagonistic influences into an amalgam of heavy music that's refreshing and all-consuming. Noisey asserts "BLACK ANVIL have written some of the most vicious and satisfying black metal laid to tape in the last few years," furthering that they, "deliver their blackened goods sans corpsepaint but with a distinct New York edge," while Stereogum adds, "Hail Death is a pure metal album that relishes in the genre's conventions without feeling conventional: It's simply anthemic, aggressive, bombastic, thrilling, and fucking heavy."

Sponsored by Vice's music portal, Noisey, the band will be joined by Psalm Zero, Fantom Warior and Yellow Eyes with additional live infiltrations to be announced in the weeks to come.
