Genre: Rock
This Chapel Hill, NC power trio has been tuning down and turning up since late 2005, constantly evolving their aural offerings of psychedelic sludge. With a combination of the foreboding heaviness of blues based proto-metal, the spry attitude and approach of punk, and the dynamics of progressive rock, their songs often project a dark & urgent energy.
“The three-piece shares a sonic similarity with head crushers High on Fire and the straightforward version of the Melvins – think a fuck it all with fucking no regrets aural assault that leans into you with a series of endless grooves...they certainly turned my head with this EP.”
John Pegoraro - stonerrock.com
“This is quintessential stoner/sludge metal, and delivered with such a groovy ferocity that it's an easy album to throw on over and over.”
Gabaghoul - Teeth Of The Divine
“If [Chapel Hill] often features a surplus of...indie boys who..would…like to buy you a soy latte, Black Skies is the exception to the rule...Think Sabbath, the Melvins, chest-buckling rhythms and colossally writhing guitars. Independent but far from indie, [they] are here to rain on your...parade”
Brian Howe - Pitchfork
