release notes:
Polish doom/alternative metal act The Black Thunder releases their third
full-length album entitled, "Time Obliteration", on 16 October 2026 via
Pagan Records.
An evolution from the stoner and groovy elements featured in their 2017
debut full-length "Visions in Black" and their 2021 sophomore album "Into
the Darkness We All Fall", "Time Obliteration" takes the band towards
much darker, heavier territory. The new material mixes black metal
atmospheres with sludge weight, technical precision, infectious grooves,
and unexpected avant-garde elements.
Built on a DIY foundation and forged by years of active dedication to the
underground scene, The Black Thunder never aimed for perfect
overproduction. Instead they opted for brutal, intense and gritty sound
infused with some crust influences. To capture this genuine, live sound,
"Time Obliteration" was tracked entirely as a live session at Dobra 12
Studio in Białystok, Poland by Piotr Polak.
The resulting live-in-studio recording was mixed and mastered by the
renowned Haldor Grunberg, contributing to the improvement of what is
arguably the band's most honest and uncompromising material to date. This
vision carries over to the visual presentation, which features striking,
hand-painted cover art by the legendary Rok (Sadistik Exekution, Sadistik
Art.) alongside graphic layouts by Łukasz "Pachu" Pach (Hostia).
The lyrics are centered around the motifs of existential anxiety,
internal conflict, and distorted perception. The lyrics have been written
and performed by frontman Marcin Szczepański, mainly in English, with
some sections of Polish adding intensity and emotion to the composition.
