Bio
Synergy- when the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts, this is Black 29. The band members have taken different paths, but when they merge, their blast of sound brings forth alchemy of sorts. Echoes of rock, metal, and hardcore creates melodic vocals with an aggressive bite. Black 29 is commercial metal; they are compared to “All that Remains.” Intense, it will punch you in the face, lay you down and punch you again. “When Vices and Become Virtues” will be released in February. They will be touring nationally in in the United States and showcasing their new songs.

Biography
Black 29 Brings Wilmington’s Scene To National Attention!
“THEIR SONGS ARE A COMBINATION OF OLD-SCHOOL METAL RIFFS, WITHOUT THE CONSTANT GRIND, PUNCTUATED BY QUICK DRUM BEATS. ON TOP IS AN OVERLAY OF SUNG AND SCREAMED VOCALS, STRAYING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FINCH OR SILVERSTEIN AND INTO AS I LAY DYING AND BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME. IT CUTS THE MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN SCREAMO AND METAL….” BOOTLEG MAGAZINE 2008
Each of the band members grew up in different lifestyles, all dreaming of the success they are now on the road to achieving. The bands’ early influences are diverse—citing artists like Pink Floyd, The Doors, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Bless the fall, Atreyu and Metallica—which easily explains the broad range of styles in Black 29’s distinct unique sound!
“THE SOUND OF BLACK 29 IS UNLEASHING ITSELF ON THE MUSIC SCENE. THEIR DRIVING GUITARS AND FULL DRUM SOUND REFLECT A HARDCORE, METAL INFLUENCE SIMILAR TO KILLSWITCH ENGAGE AND ATREYU.” THE BEAT MAGAZINE 2007
The fans are the biggest inspiration for Black 29. Andrew and Derek agree that performing and helping people through music is “the most amazing feeling in the world.” Inspiration goes both ways Derek says, “I hope to have some of those songs that remain around forever” Max echoes the band’s desire to touch people with their music: “I would love it if someone could listen to our record and really feel alive.”
The band may soon be getting their wish. With their album set to release in spring 2009, Black 29 is going nationwide. And they have the support of more than just their fans: "So many bands have made it on a national and even international level, now its Black 29’s turn to take our scene national!" says Roddy, a DJ at Rock105.5 legendary pure rock station.
