2022 release. Nearly six years after As Was made it's mark, Black Anvil is returning with it's aptly titled fifth full-length, Regenesis. With a new record label, a new album, and a newfound exploration of dark and black metal, Regenesis represents a new dawn for the New York City collective. Make no mistake, Regenesis is not a departure from Black Anvil's identity, but rather serves as the latest progression in the band's ever-evolving sound. The unrelenting and polished aggression hangs in the balance above dark melodic passages, presenting a dynamic soundscape that serves as the band's most devastating and existential offering to date. This isn't just black metal, this is NYBM.
