Barcelona-based heavy & epic doom metal band, Black Lotus, will release their debut album, Sons Of Saturn, on October 19 via Inverse Records.

Black Lotus was founded by Hug Ballesta in 2015. After finding a proper line-up, they headed into the Moontower Studio at the end of 2017. The album was recorded and mixed by Javi Félez and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, Portland, Oregon.

Black Lotus' sound is grounded in the diverse influences of the band members. Traditional heavy metal is the common factor and driving force of the band, but alternative sounds of the ‘90s, stoner rock, doom metal and post metal genres are also colours in their palette. Their compositions are embracing all those influences without limitations or dogmas. Likewise, lyrics are eminently symbolic, expressing a dystopic vision of society and their view of the world. Classic mythology, occultism, and personal experiences and visions are the sources for their compositions.
