Black Bomb A

Black Bomb A is a French Metalcore-Band founded in 1994.

History

In 2003 the band consisted of two singers, Arno and Poun, the guitarists Scalp and Snake, as well as the bassist Mario and the drummer Hervé.

In 2001, they entered the spotlight for the first time with their own release EP Straight in the Vein . Within two years, Blackbomb A developed into a well-known underground band with about 300 appearances in France.

Their third album Speech of Freedom, held a spot in the French Billboard Charts for seven weeks, and was noted for its "angry experimentation-joy", unique in Metalcore.

The live album Illicite Stuff Live from 2005 contains recordings from concerts in in Saint Nazaire. The album was released in September 2005, while planning a live tour. As a result of a motorcycle accident of the bassist Étienne, the band had to cancel the tour. At the beginning of 2006, they began recording the studio album, but they had to put production on hold as the collaboration with the producer proved difficult. As a result, Black Bomb A separated from their label.

Through collaboration with Sphere, they have gained new management, at the Warner-Music offshoot Mon Slip. In March 2007, Blackbomb A released their album One Sound Bite to React . The band has evolved both vocally and musically. In the album, they cover the song "Beds are Burning" by Midnight Oil, but remain true to their Metalcore roots.

In 2016, they released their new live album 21 Years of Pure Madness / Live Act and played at Edinburgh Metal Party 2016.^[1]
