Taking influence from the punk-tinged EBM stylings of Assemblage 23, the excruciating gentleness of later Gary Numan, and the pop sensibilities of Switchblade Symphony; Black Ring produces a blend of experimental EBM and darkwave that brandishes a brutal aural attack on the senses.

Black Ring's most recent EP, the Rough Sect Sessions, was released in November 2010. A heavily dubstep-influenced album, the Rough Sect Sessions retains the signature darkwave style Black Ring is synonymous with, this time with The Poet providing guest vocals for a Recoil-esque release.

The Rough Sect Sessions and three other EPs are available for free download here. A hard copy of the Rough Sect Sessions is currently available on Amazon.

The little things we do. The chance encounters we have. It all goes somewhere. This is the zero point for one man.

A tale of two brothers. One vying for power, the other searching for a purpose. Torn apart by betrayal, they'll have to learn that their worlds are less a product of chance and more a result of design.
