Hailed as transonic groundbreakers or derided as alienating and ostentatious, Brooklyn's Black Cube advertize the limits of hard core and interference rock. Taking their cues from Meld Banana, Merzbow, and Ravage Puss, Black Dice fix on a few notes per "vocal" and focus on producing a strait that's as abradant and perverted as possible. The chemical grouping debuted in early 1998 with a mortal on Gravity Records and released Come of the Sunday on Tapes Records. They then appeared on Troubleman Unlimited's Mix-Tape and were picked up by Troubleman, run by Unwound. Black Cube released its debut full-length in 2000, followed by a rip with Delete Errata and Cold Manpower in 2001. The following year Black Dice deserted their stone leanings and embraced the electronics that had antecedently peppered their avant hard core approach. They affected to the DFA adjudicate for their 2002 album, Beaches & Canyons. A vinyl group radical solely coaction with Wolf Eyes came come out in 2003 on the Fusetron try. That saami year DFA similarly released the close dancefloor friendly Strobilus Wassailer 12" and followed it in 2004 with an EP, Miles of Smiles, and some other album, Creature Creature comforts.
