From Moorpark, California, a small town nestled a few miles north of LA, Black Sheep Wall formed in the mid-&#39;00s when the members were still in high school. &#34;The band itself was bred from the sheer boredom of growing up in a place like Moorpark,&#34; says founder Brandon Gillichbauer, who began as the bassist and now fronts the band.

Through its first decade of existence, Black Sheep Wall made its name by way of glacial-paced nihilism and groove – a dark and hypnotic style of sludge-smeared hardcore – releasing music via Season of Mist and playing with the likes of Converge, High on Fire, and A Life Once Lost.

Turbulence between band members led to lineup changes and eventually a long hiatus. Five years after the 2015 release of I&#39;m Going to Kill Myself, Black Sheep Wall returns now, reformed and rejuvenated, with the most compelling work of its career: Songs for the Enamel Queen.

Almost 60 minutes of music, Songs for the Enamel Queen sustains white-knuckle intensity, from start to finish, and defies categorization through the entire ride. As if to announce the band&#39;s return with a bang, the album opens with the 2-minute slalom-to hell, &#34;Human Shaped Hole,&#34; then follows up with a 13-minute epic, &#34;New Measures of Failure.&#34; Four of the album&#39;s seven songs clock in above the 10-minute mark, yet every second drives forward with purpose.
