Stream Black Salvation's "Uncertainty Is Bliss" in full

Black Salvation's debut album "Uncertainty Is Bliss" has been released today on Relapse Records and it is now possible to stream it in its entirety through the band's official Bandcamp.
While listening to the album, a recent interview with the band comes to mind, where they mentioned their first encounter at an In Solitude show back in the days, and they "talked a lot about music. We found out we shared a common understanding of what powers it can hold and what you can do with it… We talked about how to approach it and from what center within you gotta shake from, in order to align with this power.", Uno explains.
And powerful "Uncertainty Is Bliss" it is for sure, with its hallucinatory mood along with a gloomy blues hue and several shades of hard rock that run across the whole record, combined with deep vibrating vocals and multifaceted drumming, resulting in a truly intense musical journey for the listener's ears and mind. But enough words!, "Uncertainty Is Bliss" can be streamed below, more streaming and digital buying options at this link, CD and vinyl editions can be purchased directly at blacksalvation.bandcamp.com or at Relapse Records.
