A Requiem For Terra is the debut full-length album from the Norwegian black metal band Black Hole Generator.

Formed in 2009, Black Hole Generator is the brainchild of Vulture  Industries’ main man and  long-­time Taake and Helheim producer  Bjørnar E. Nilsen,  and it’s been a ten-­year  wait since the band’s first release, the Black Karma MCD, saw the light of day. 

Entitled  “A  Requiem for Terra”,  the  seven-­track album shifts between the bleak aural landscapes of a desolate world and the frantic torrent of the abyss. With a  wide dynamic range that spans from the brooding  doom-­laden opener  “A Requiem for  Terra”,  to the mesmerizing riffing of  “Moloch”,  from the catch  “Beneath a Chemical Sky” to the fierce  “Emerging  Pantheon”.

“A  Requiem for Terra”  also  features  the  renowned  Arve  Isdal  (Enslaved/Audrey  Horne)  on  guitars,  Gjermund   Fredheim  (Taake/Orkan)  on  lead  guitars  on  3  tracks,  with additional guitars by Dag Terje Andersen.
