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
The gallows calling
Noose is hung from the willow tree
The air tastes thin
From the shallow grave you dug for me
Hells mouth spitting our bodies out
Smell of death rising behind us
Eyes flashing light, glowing amber below
Looming over me, beckons it forth
The devil come to take me
The gallows calling
Noose is hung from the willow tree
The air tastes thin
From the shallow grave you dug for me
Slaughtered, given up as offering
Cries heard in the distance, repeated
Crows creep overhead, their danceless flight
Burning faces, blasphemous mouth
The devil come to take me
The gallows calling
Noose is hung from the willow tree
The air tastes thin
From the shallow grave you dug for me
The spirits sang, baiting the helpless
Voices twisting up, they hit so loud
Swallowed me up, couldn’t find my way
Watched me cry out, demons folding me in
The devil come to take me
The gallows calling
Noose is hung from the willow tree
The air tastes thin
From the shallow grave you dug for me
