BLACK BONED ANGEL return with their second Riot Season release, following the sold out 'Eternal Love/Eternal Hunger' Vinyl LP (REPOSELP013). Sharing a similarly bleak ground to CORRUPTED, SUNN 0))) and EARTH, New Zealand's BLACK BONED ANGEL return with their fourth full length album 'Verdun', and perhaps their most sombre and fully-realised work to date. The Battle of Verdun was fought between the German and French armies, and was one of the critical battles during World War 1 on the Western Front. It resulted in more than a quarter of a million battlefield deaths and at least half a million wounded. Verdun was the longest battle and one of the most devastating in World War 1 and indeed in history. Over the course of 50 minutes, BBA soundtrack that brutal conflict with their trademark dark ambient drones and doom-laden riffs. The CD version of this release contains an exclusive extra piece entitled 'Tears Strike The Mile High Gong' and comes in a card gatefold sleeve (1000 copies only). "Moving through periods of heavily processed ghostly drones and incorporating what sounds like a choir singing from the mouth of hell, it really has gigantic scope." - KERRANG!
