Black Boned Angel

The Profile

Black Boned Angel is a New Zealand drone/doom project led by Campbell Kneale (also of Birchville Cat Motel), active from 2004 to 2013, known for monolithic, feedback-drenched compositions and war-haunted atmospheres.

Project of Campbell Kneale from New Zealand; associated with drone/doom metal; active 2004–2013; related to Birchville Cat Motel; released works such as Verdun, Bliss and Void Inseparable, Eternal Love / Eternal Hunger, and The End.

A single-track, three-part drone/doom descent: from ultra-slow, spectral tempos to a noise-apocalyptic finale. The review frames Verdun as a chilling, anti-belligerent evocation of war’s alienation. Language is vivid and admiring, with a 3/5 rating.
