PINKISH BLACK's new album, “Concept Unification” is the band's most
adventurous record to date. Each of the 6 tracks on the album explore the
innermost depths of forward-thinking doom rock, as psychedelic undertones
collide with dark, crushing heaviness. Brooding synthesizers on “Concept
Unification's” opening title track give way to the impending melancholy found
on “Dial Tone”, while progressive ebbs and flows on “Petit Mal” showcase
PINKISH BLACK's ability to manipulate dark ambience. The album closer “Next
Solution” presents a somber, contemplative piano performance front-and-center,
before exploding into a
dramatic whirl of choirs and rhythmic pummeling. “Concept Unification” is a
beast of it's own, pontificating on themes of anxiety, futility, and emptiness,
positioning PINKISH BLACK as vital to the independent scene as ever.
