Their latest release marked a critical new chapter in the bands progression with the debut of enigmatic new frontman, Jamie, whose scathing lyrics and desolate depictions completed the potent metal formula and brought a new life into the beast. The EP was met with solid reviews across the board from the blogging community and word spread rapidly about the quality of the live shows. The title track graced the covermount CD of Terrorizer magazine (#269).

Within less than 6 months, Take The Fall saw the band go from relatively unknown local act to a solid headliner that could be depended on to deliver the goods live and please a crowd.

The payoff for the relentless midlands based outfit came in the form of winning the Northampton Metal 2 The Masses competition and a chance to play on the highly revered Newblood stage at Bloodstock Festival in 2016. The band stepped up to the gauntlet and delivered an impacting festival debut, gaining the respect and loyalty of those in attendance.

Post Bloodstock, Black Ink Sun have continued to go from strength to strength, headlining charity all-dayers and featuring on the lineups of prestigious shows such as Midland Metal Crusade. They have also since started working on new material to be unleashed during 2017...
