THE AMALGAMATION OF 3 LIKE MINDED SPIRITS, LONG TIME FRIENDS AND VETERANS OF THE SOUTH WALES DOOM/STONER/PUNK SCENE IN THE HUMAN FORMS OF - CLINT (GUITARS) CLEM (BASS) ((BOTH FORMERLY OF CARDIFF STONER LEGENDS - MONDO TRANZ SHOP)) AND CHRIS (DRUMS) ((FORMERLY OF DISCO ASSASSINS, DIABOLO, THE CULL AND CURRENT BASSIST IN TAINT AND 'SET FORTH THIS ALLIANCE.WITH FIRE')) CAME TOGETHER IN THE SUMMER OF 2006 IN CARDIFF - WALES WITH A SHARED PASSION FOR RIFFS AND RHYTHMIC GROOVE TO FORM - SOLOMON KANE, (UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH AFTER A FEW SHOWS THEY HAD TO CHANGE THEIR NAME FOR LEGAL REASONS!!!) SO BANGING THEIR COLLECTIVE HEADS TOGETHER THEY DECIDED TO CALL THE BAND -



BLACK CESAR



(after a 17th century haitian pirate who sailed with black beard)



FOR MONTHS THEY WROTE INSTRUMENTAL STRUCTURES WITH A VIEW TO HAVING A SINGER JOIN THE RANKS (this was going to be very close friend Aziz Ibsule, the singer from Cardiff legends - Channel 9 - but due to years of loud riff damage to his ears giving him tinitus he had to gracefully and sadly bow out!) AND AS TIME WENT ON, NOBODY SEEMED UP FOR THE JOB SO A DECISION WAS MADE TO LET THE MUSIC SING FOR ITSELF AND STAY AS AN INSTRUMENTAL UNIT!



THIS IS ONLY THE 1ST PHASE OF THE EVOLUTION OF BLACK CESAR AS RECENTLY THEY HAVE HAD ANOTHER LONG TIME FRIEND JOIN THE RANKS IN THE FORM OF TALENTED MULTI INSTRUMENTALIST - GEORGE (also of Mondo Tranz Shop) ON LAP STEEL GUITAR!!!



THIS MARKS THE 2ND EVOLUTIONARY PHASE OF BLACK CESAR, ADDING AN ETHEREAL LAYER OF SOUND TO THE ALREADY UPLIFTING VIBES!!!

(you can hear the re-recorded lap steel on the 'Matthew The Chicken', 'Freerange Women' and 'Fathom' on the myspace site!)



BLACK CESAR PLAN ON RECORDING THEIR DEBUT ALBUM BEFORE CHRISTMAS WITH A LOOK TO RELEASING IT EARLY 2008 AND WITH TOURS TO SUPPORT THIS ALREADY IN MIND. IT LOOKS LIKE NEXT YEAR WILL BE THE YEAR THEY STRIKE AT THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF PLANET EARTH!!!



ALSO LOOK OUT FOR A TRACK ON UP AND COMING LABEL - CATACOMB RECORDS COMPILATION ALBUM - "SOUNDS OF THE CATACOMBS" WITH BANDS SUCH AS - ABDULLAH, GONGA, SUNS OF THUNDER, DIRTY RED AND MANY MORE, DUE FOR RELEASE THIS AUTUMN!!!
