History
Tragic Black most recently released video for "Play For Today", a cover by The Cure. In April 2016, Tragic Black released their latest album "NOSTALGIA" on Danse Macabre Records in Germany. NOSTALGIA was recorded at BASSLAB studio by Steven Comeau (of STARBASS) who recorded/mixed/mastered and did additional programming. On NOSTALGIA, the line up returns to a three piece that the band had in their earlier years (featuring; Stich (singer of All Gone Dead) on Guitar, Vyle on Bass/Programming and vISION on vocals/programming). The sound of Nostalgia is reminiscent of the bands roots in the Goth/Deathrock scene, as well as Industrial. Nostalgia also featured the majority of the programming/songwriting by vISION. NOSTALGIA also features remixes by; LARVA (Spanish industrial), Seputus Black (former TB drummer) and vISION. In 2013, Tragic Black released an album titled "The Eternal Now", which featured a heavier sound compared to their previous works, although remaining a mixture of rock and electronic music the band had been known for.
Influences
The band cites Rozz Williams as one of the influences, having recorded cover versions of his songs and played at concerts dedicated to his memory.[2] The other inspirations include David Bowie, Mötley Crüe, Bauhaus, Specimen and Skinny Puppy.[3]
