Blackened doom metal project Blackstaff is ready to release their crushing new album The Storyteller. The seven track material will come out on September 6th. Since 2022, Blackstaff has released two EPs and a split. The project’s full-length debut album The Storyteller is the culmination of its creative capabilities, reaching for an abrasive, doom/sludge filled zenith.
Blackstaff began as a creative release for musician Dustin Cleary, a musical outlet for his deeply troubled thoughts about the world. With the help of mix engineer Todd Purnick, The Storyteller represents the growth the project has established since their Godless EP.
The Storyteller is a powerful display of blackened doom, built upon corrosive groove and a suffering atmosphere of frenzied noise. The album incorporates death metal elements as well, including guttural vocals. All these result in a new dynamic while retaining the project’s signature doomed sound and slamming riffs.
To give a taste of what the upcoming album is all about, the band released the single Cloak of Stars, the second track of the full-length. An amazing song that fully proves Dustin Cleary‘s creative mastery.
Tracklist:
1. Seidr
2. Cloak of Stars
3. Procession of Ghouls
4. Swarm
5. Worm
6. Spider
7. Thrill of the Hunt (Godless Sessions ’23)
