BLACK SUN

BIOGRAPHY:

Industrial act formed by Falkirk born Russel McEwan (vocals / drums, ex-Macrocosmica), along with Kevin Hare (guitar / vocals) & Graeme Leggate (bass). The act had released five records before a 12 inch single, "Paralyser", in October 2008.
Spring 2009 saw the band playing at the South By Soutwest Festival in Texas, and the Roadburn Festival in Holland. At this time McEwan also started a side project called Atomized. The act released a vinyl single, "Code Black" in February 2009. In summer 2009, McEwan joined Jarbo (ex-Swans) onstage at Supersonic 2009.
Towards the end of the year, they recorded their sixth album, "Twilight Of The Gods", for release in 2010. Summer saw the band complete a short tour of Ireland, followed by the release of the album in September. Autumn saw some dates around the UK.
2011 saw a variation of the act, entitled The Black Sun Drum Corp play live, including a sate at the Wickerman Festival.
McEwan, a big Joy Division fan, appeared as an extra in the movie "Control".
