We’ve been tinkering
Now that we’ve got the site up and running again we decided it was about time we put the worker bees to work and did some sorting out. First up we’ve now added Soundcloud tags to our forum. These work in much the same way as the Youtube tags you’re all familiar with. When you’re [...]
Some new releases and a gig!
Here’s some shameless promotion for ya! This should be a top night and if you don’t come along you will be mocked, quite rightly, by your friends and peers. We’re looking into getting a Dopefight, Funeral Hag, Enos tour sorted for next year (if you’re a promoter or would just like to help out with [...]
Hipster metal. Or is it just popular?
Now here’s a hot topic if ever there was one; ‘Hipster metal’. This is something that I’ve been giving a fair bit of thought to recently, mainly thanks to the release of The Sword’s new album, Warp Riders. Regular visitors to Thee Big Black’s forum will probably have spotted the thread Ed from Doom Metal [...]
Holy guacamole, it’s an update!
Since the release of Enos’ record, Chapter 1, and issue 1 of our comic book I’ve found myself to be a little busier than usual. So, I’m dragging myself away from the hoard of groupies and my gold plated tyre swing and will be getting back on top of things here at Thee Big Black. [...]
No gigs please, we’re British!
I’ve noticed a bit of a worrying trend of late, there seems to have been a sudden increase in venue closures, or at least there has been down here in ol’ Brighton town. Now I can only speak for Brighton (and I will) but I’m fairly sure that these aren’t isolated incidents. Gig turn out [...]

We’re all going on a summer holiday!
Thee Big Black is taking off nicely at the moment and we have decided that in order to keep the quality of the zine up we’re going to skip a month, plus it’s sunny and we want to spend a bit of time sunning our pasty skin, lounge around in Speedos drinking piña coladas, throw [...]
Some releases to get yer mits on
Here at Thee Big Black we’ve been inundated with bands and labels posting on our forum or contacting us on Myspace to tell us about their upcoming and current releases. We’re not selfish sorts so figured that we’d let you know too. First off is Sabazius, the über doom band from Steve and Nev from [...]
Thee Big Black Issue 6 is here at last!
Issue six is finally here, sorry for the delay, but we figured that you lovely people probably wouldn’t mind too much, seeing as how Thee Big Black is free! Anyway, this month’s issue is a full one. We have exclusive interviews with Aort of Code/Blutvial and Tom Swine from Salute/Swine, this is the start of [...]
Success? How very dare you!
There’s been a debate running on Thee Big Black’s forum for a while now as to whether or not stoner/doom is going to be the next ‘thing’ in the metal world. Initially sparked by a comment on another forum (there’s a link at the start of the thread) moaning about how trendy stoner and doom [...]
