The Black Angels are a psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas, formed in May 2004. Their name derives from the Velvet Underground song “
The Black Angel’s Death Song”.
Hannah Levin’s review of the Black Angels album Passover described them as “Walking in the shadows cast by Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized mastermind Jason Pierce” and compared them to The Warlocks and Black Mountain, also invoking “dirges” reminiscent of both The Velvet Underground and the 13th Floor Elevators. The band’s icon is a stylized image of Nico.
In December 2007, the group announced on their blog that their second album will be released in Spring of 2008. In March 2008 a release date of May 13th was announced for their second album, Directions To See A Ghost.

A note about the tag "Psychedelic Rock". Regardless of individual opinion on whether The Black Angels are a Psychedelic Rock band the fact is that looking at the tags for The Black Angels they are considered highly by many people as being "Psychedelic Rock". Furthermore Christian Bland's Artwork is most certainly psychedelic, the band's sound is classic psychedelic especially with the use of effects, spring reverb etc plus the band act as the backing band for Roky Erickson who was the vocalist with the original Psychedelic Rock band The 13th Floor Elevators whose first album is titled "The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators". On that basis suggesting that The Black Angels are not psychedelic rock is akin to suggesting that The 13th Floor Elevators weren't psychedelic rock which would be in my opinion just plain silly. Both bands are advocates of Psychedelics and are rock music.

just got the 3 L. P. version of Directions To See A Ghost. I'm stunned. 2 extra tracks. Christian's artwork is as great as the band itself. Truly wonderful.

I am sure they will tour on their own after the release of their next album which is planned for mid-March. We have just to be patient.
