Today we are pleased to let everyone know that the new targeted release window for Vol. I WAR MACHINE will be August 2013.

We unfortunately missed our original targeted date of April 20th 2013 due to a hectic schedule of tracking, gigging, and shooting for our documentary "Building The Machine". We have decided to take the extra time to refine the material and release the best possible record we can possibly put together.

All pre-orders will still be valid and new ones will be taken with a special download code for an extra track.

Well we "released" Vol.I WAR MACHINE a couple weeks ago, only we have no fukin copies to sell. Two fold problem here 1. we went almost right until April 20th finishin up edits and stupid shit. 2. our distro company failed to tell us they needed a months notice before a release can be sent out due to pressin issues that can arise in the pressin process. We are hugely sorry and will probably blame the next drummer hahaha. Either way we aim to have copies readily availavble right here for physical purchase or digital download. We will also be sellin copies at our next string of shows so go look over to yur left and see if we're comin to yur town next. Like i said, we fukd up, our distro fuk up, but what can yea do. Also a huge announcment comin soon in the next couple of week so keep it locked here and on all that poser ass social bullshit.

Since the inception of BLACKMASS MAFIA Marshall Amplification has been there every step of the way. Vocalist/Guitarist Mikke Nugent has relied on his Marshall JCM 2000 Dual Super Lead 100 and his Marshall 1960B 4x12 cab to create BLACKMASS MAFIA'S heaviest riffs and scorching leads.

Today everyone that rolls BLACKMASS is saddened by the passing of Marshall Amplification's founder Jim Marshall. At 88 years old Jim Marshall was still the standard bearer for amps from the JMP 1 to the SLP, JCM 800, DSL/TSL series, to today's JVM line. Jim has spent a lifetime redefining the music industry.

To Jim and the whole Marshall family, respect and the humblest of thank you's Jim from everybody in the BLACKMASS FAMILY.
