| Italian Import | Black Eyed Angel, is the second full-length album from the established darkwave band Second Skin. This emotional tour de force has critics of all genre claiming Second Skin as their own. Filled with images that transcend the imagination. You are sent spinning into a whirlwind of dark delights. Second Skin conjures passion, lust, depression and love and forces them to exist in the same space. The tension builds as the dark mechanized beats pound a path to Eden beset by streams of guitars and walls of orchestrated backdrops that are second to none.
Moved along by the romantic crooning of Arron’s soothing velvet vocals, commanding and at times frantic you find yourself moving as the music courses through you body. Black Eyed Angel is a refreshing change from the contrived, formulated music that has all but killed off the originality that defined gothic rock. If you are a lover of the morose, and a keeper of the faith, this is the ticket to the center of your soul.
Every single one among the fans of Bowie, the Mission, Nephilim and T.S.O.L will find something in this album.
Selling Points:
The long awaited follow up to the band's successful debut Choir Invisible Second Skin can be heard on over 16 A-list Compilations by America's Cleopatra Records, Germany’s Apollyon and Equinoxe records and a long list of others that have brought them international attention. A unique sound that has kept Second Skin from being compared to any other in modern dark / alternative music. Hailed as indie icons by the independent movie crowd for their part in such award winning short like “Liberata Me” and “Children of the Arcana” now both cult classics after winning top honors at both the New York Film Festival, Tribeca and Sundance-Festivals. Breathtaking album artwork by Second Skin’s Arron. Long established following among both (old and new) gothic, darkwave, EBM and industrial fans all over the world. Includes new versions of the club hits “Sweet Nothing” and “Voo Doo Doll”
