Announce New Album 'The Edge'
Due Out August 15th — Pre-Save HERE
Share New Single "Slow Slide" + Music Video — HERE
Today, high-octane hard rockers BLACK WATER RISING are excited to announce the release of their new album, 'The Edge,' due out August 15th via their own imprint Capital T Productions.
To celebrate the announcement, BWR has released their new single, "Slow Slide," alongside a music video.
"Slow Slide" is the fifth single from the upcoming album 'The Edge,' and the video was once again directed by Tom Flynn (Lamb Of God, Buck Cherry).
Mike Meselsohn reflects on the single:
"It was great working with Tom again on this new video. The song is mainly about the descent into addiction, so we came up with the idea to use some Breaking Bad type of imagery as a loose concept to illustrate that theme. With that, Tom was also able to capture the live energy of the band while creating a visually stunning compliment to the song and lyrics!"

BLACK WATER RISING's fourth album, 'The Edge' will be available on all digital platforms, with CDs offered through the merch store on their official website.
The album artwork and CD packaging were created by renowned stoner rock artist Mirkow Gastow, known for his work with Pentagram, Zakk Sabbath, Witchcraft, and more. 'The Edge' also marks the return of original guitarist John Fattoruso, who rejoined the band in late 2019.
Musically, the new material leans more melodic while staying true to the band’s riff-heavy foundation.
Rob Traynor comments:
“It’s been a while since our last album, so we’re beyond psyched to be releasing more new music! We’ve dropped some singles over the last few years, and now the rest of the album is done and ready to roll. I also tried a few different things in the studio, with a slightly fuzzier guitar tone—but overall, it’s the same BWR sound you’ve come to expect, just with even more riffs and rants this time around!”
'The Edge' Track List:
- Slow Slide
- Jokes On You
- Hail Mary
- Cynical
- Paralyzed
- You Found The Sun
- Headstrong
