Oct. 22 2014, San Francisco – Black Map, the Northern California trio from members of Dredg (Mark Engles), Far (Chris Robyn) and The Trophy Fire (Ben Flanagan) are streaming their debut album, ...And We Explode, via Revolver (http://www.revolvermag.com/?p=67283).
 
New Noise Magazine, who premiered the song "Melee" earlier this month (http://newnoisemagazine.com/exclusive-stream-black-map-melee/) described the outfit's music as "bass heavy grooves, catchy drum work, and vocals that straddle the fences of ambient, pop punk, and alt metal" while Alternative Press said the band’s music is “a recipe for weirdness, but the talented lads in Black Map make that weirdness all their own.”  Punk News, who unveiled the first new music from ...And We Explode, the addictive song "Chinaski" (http://www.punknews.org/article/56174/media-black-map-chinaski), said while the band boasts a "'90s alt-metal pedigree," the song seamlessly incorporates the band's "hardcore influences, ends with a rumbling breakdown."
 
The twelve-song record was recorded at Hellam Sound in Oakland, Calif. with Producer Aaron Hellam, who had worked with The Trophy Fire in the past.
 
The band join Chevelle for a European outing that begins later this week, returning for a trio of west coast shows in December.
