In Tombstone, Arizona, in the 19th century, "The Black Moriah" was a hearse that took the dead to Boot Hill. Flash forward to the 21st century, and The Black Moriah is a local metal band that's been shaping thrash metal into a unique dark sound since 2011. And with the recent addition of drummer Joey "Blue" Gonzalez from Warbeast and Philip H. Anselmo and the Illegals, its black metal sound has kicked into overdrive. The band, which includes guitarist Zawicizuz Sawicky, bassist Syzygy Derive and vocalist "The Mad Arab," recently released the single "Summer of the Diabolical Holocaust" on iTunes and the fifth edition of its album Casket Prospects to some rave reviews by local metal sites.
