Black Magnet

Described by Revolver as, "excoriating and texturally scalding brand of metallic machine music,” Midwestern US-based outfit BLACK MAGNET is the progenitor group of the new wave of American industrial metal. The band’s influences range from Godflesh, Nine Inch Nails, to Deftones and Alice in Chains. Formerly the solo project of founder James Hammontree, the group has expanded into a trio over recent years with the addition of Jared Branson and Ryne Bratcher, the members also collectively playing with the likes of All Your Sisters, Destroyer Destroyer, Greg Puciato, and more. Following two acclaimed albums on 20 Buck Spin, among numerous singles and an EP, and having morphed into a solid touring act in recent years, opening for 3Teeth, Code Orange, and Author & Punisher, BLACK MAGNET has become one of the most revered acts in the genre.
