The Black Biography
There is more than one artist with this name.
1) The better known "The Black" is a Swedish black metal band formed around 1991 in Eskiltuna by Make Pesonen from Eternal Darkness and Karjalan Sissit. The first full line-up featured Make Pesonen as "The Black" on drums & keyboards, Dissection's Jon Nödtveidt as "Rietas" on guitar, vocals and keyboards, ex-Crypt of Kerberos Markus Pedersén as "Leviathan" on bass and "Black Demon" on second guitar. The Black released one demo "Black Blood" in 1992 (later released as a MCD by Necropolis) and one album "The Priest Of Satan" in 1994. The style was simplistic and raw black metal with death and heavy metal touches and sparingly used keyboards. The Black disbanded in 1993 after Euronymous, who was supposed to handle the distribution of "The Priest Of Satan", got killed and Jon moved to Gothenburg.
Make Pesonen has reactivated The Black with D. Forn Bragman and Andreas Jonsson from Vinterland & Tyrant. An album titled "Alongside Death" will be released in 2008 by Pulverised Records (vinyl by Hell's Cargo). See the band's MySpace for additional information.
2) The second "The Black" is a rock band from Austin, Texas. More information can be found on their web site: http://theblackmusic.com/
