Chicago’s own Black Cross Hotel — the industrial-metal force featuring members of The Atlas Moth and Stabbing Westward — are hitting the road in support of their upcoming album Songs for Switches, out October 31 via Someoddpilot Records.
The band just dropped a new single, “Church Basement,” directed by Chris Eichenseer, giving fans a final taste before the full album’s arrival. A limited blood red swirl vinyl edition is up for pre-order here.
Following the release, Black Cross Hotel will launch a short but fiery Midwest and East Coast run — with support from Blood Lemon on most dates:
