Nine Black Alps Announce Tour Dates And Stream New Album In Full

• 19th Oct 2012

After a 3 year wait Nine Black Alps finally returned in October 2012 with their fourth studio album ’Sirens’released through Leeds label Brew (Kong, Hawk Eyes, Blacklisters, Castrovalva, Humanfly).

With core members Sam Forrest(vocals, guitar), David Jones (guitar), James Galley (drums, vocals) and new bass player Karl Astbury, the band had retained their distinctive and energetic sludge-rock sound albeit with a tighter and more dynamic style.

Following a UK headline tour in October 2009, the band took time out to pursue other projects with Sam Forrest releasing a string of solo albums, David Jones playing live session guitar for The Cribs and Martin Cohen leaving to form his own band Milkmaid.

Nine Black Alps regrouped in Spring 2011 to record their fourth album ‘Sirens’. The album was entirely self-produced and mixed by the band in Yorkshire and offers the clearest vision of Nine Black Alps yet. You can stream the album in full here:
