The Black Black is Solace's fifth studio recording. Referred to as "the distillation of thirty years of metal"[1] and "the best material Solace has written",[2] "The Black Black" was recorded at New Jersey's Trax East Studios over the course of a year. The album was compiled from tracks originally recorded for Solace's forthcoming album A.D. When the band realized that they simply had too much material for a single album, they removed four tracks for this EP.

Released on both CD and limited edition vinyl, both versions sport front cover art by Solace friend and repeat cover-artist Paul Vismara, while the CD version features interior and back cover photography by Penelope Pappas.

Track listing

  1. "Khan (World of Fire)"
