BLACK ANVIL: Hail Death, their 3rd studio album, is out now.
A blasting onslaught of bestial riffs and scathing vocal torrents, the nine-minute track opens what is inarguably the band's most lethal and ambitious manifestation to date. Captured at Magpie Cage Studio by J. Robbins, Hail Death remains true to the band's roots while still transcending them in a way that weaves all of their seemingly contrasting influences into an amalgam of heavy music that's as original as it is devouring.
 
Hail Death, which comes adorned in the sinister cover art of Metastazis (Behemoth, Alcest, Black Dahlia Murder). Via Relapse Records. Recommended for iniquitous souls who worship at the altars of Celtic Frost, Metallica, Bathory, Watain, Emperor, Marduk, and Deströyer 666.

B.A.: Getting into music from an early age & always searching thru my mothers records... this is for sure the case for all of us, with  minor differences.. all made us want to be musicians at early ages. 

You have 4 members, how did each of them come into the band ? 

B.A.: The band started as 3. We have been a brotherhood for quite some time. We recently recruited a fourth member, as it was necessary due to the progression in the writing of Hail Death. In order to present it properly in the live setting.. we needed a fourth member.
