Human Missile Crisis recently released their second single, “Blackwater” from their album Liquor Store Stories. Written in memoriam for a friend, DJ Vaters (guitars, vocalist) says,
This is one of those songs that just wrote itself and came out of nowhere within about 5 minutes. One day I was speaking to my old friend’s brother, and he reminded me that Charles passed away 5 years ago. Shortly after that conversation I cracked a beer, picked up the guitar and this song basically appeared in front of me. We grew up in Dominion, Nova Scotia, and here on our local beach because; there were coal mining communities all around us – coal dust would wash up on our beaches – this is what ‘Blackwater’ is. Sonically I wanted this song to be powerful and memorable, an anthem to our old friend Charles.
With it’s thundering and infectious bassline, crunchy guitars, thrashing drums, and gritty heartfelt vocals, Human Missile Crisis easily achieved the powerful and memorable with “Blackwater”.
