Channeling dark powers from within, The Black Doors have unleashed their third album Spirits. Gathering inspiration from fear, loss and love found during the pandemic alongside themes from Victorian spiritualism, Spirits evokes strong emotions while balancing the extremes of piercing melodies and raucous cacophony.
Persevering through strange times, the band (Allison Green, Topher Walberg, Brian Gardiner) ambitiously recorded Spirits at their respective home studios, with the exception of the supernatural vocals tracked at Singing Sands Studios in Portland, OR.
Allison Green’s haunting voice wails and wanes against cutting drums and swirling guitars, leading the listener to question at times if the record itself is possessed. Joining forces with Portland based Little Cloud Records, The Black Doors continue to deliver devilish good fun.
Includes unlimited streaming of Spirits
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
Controlled and bated breath
Air escapes the fragile lungs
Cold inhaled, oh the flow
Of blood in secret places hung
Dark and damp, awake the living
Feeling heat and flesh is taking
Hold of senses long forgotten
All the limbs of past time making
Some nights can't be washed away
No matter how hard you pray
How we belong in silence
Now that we've had a taste
Light peers and keeps a summons
Filling chests with vibrant hums
Shallow sounds of wait's death coming
Screaming of past summers' suns
Dead, undead the ghost is spinning
Footsteps fall on hallowed ground
Oh, it's rising to pay tribute
Pouring fevered fervent vows
Some nights can't be washed away
No matter how hard you pray
How we belong in silence
Now that we've had a taste
