North Carolina (USA) power trio, BLACK SKIES, have kicked off their near-month long U.S. tour in Charlotte. The trek will rock its way through another 23 cities including a host of East Coast locales they’ve yet to play. The band will be joined by a who’s who of awesome along the way including USX, Backwoods Payback, Generation of Vipers, Caltrop, Sons Of Tonatiuh and others.

In celebration of the tour commencement, the fine folks at The Obelisk are currently streaming a new track off BLACK SKIES’ soon-to-be-unleashed new full length, On The Wings Of Time. Check out “Valley Of The Kings” HERE.

The follow-up to 2008’s Hexagon EP, On The Wings Of Time was recorded, produced and mastered by Harvey Milk’s Kyle Spence at his own RJS studios in Athens, Georgia.

The Chapel Hill natives — Clark, Tim Herzog (drums) and Michelle Temple (bass, vocals, booking) —
have been tuning down and turning up since late 2005, constantly evolving their aural offerings of psychedelic sludge. With a combination of the foreboding heaviness of blues based proto-metal, the spry attitude and approach of punk, and the dynamics of progressive rock, their songs often project a dark & urgent energy.
