Bio:

Heavy metal band of the James (real name Canning) brothers.

Similar in style to Ezy Meat, their album is now a minor collectable.

Crashed PR blurb:

This week sees the release of a new and exciting album from Irish Heavy Metal Band BLACKWYCH. Entitled 'OUT OF CONTROL' this is a very apt description of BLACKWYCH.
"BLACKWYCH could demolish a concrete wall at ten miles and that's without plugging in".
That was the verduict of the Heavy Metal bible KERRANG on Irelands leading contender for the hard rock crown, in their Irish Special on the Heavy Metal scene in Ireland.
Having recently made their vinyl debut on the GREEN METAL compilation release from CRASHED RECORDS and METAL MASTERS, BLACKWYCH were chosen from the bands featured on GREEN METAL to record an album for Crashed with simultaneous release in the U.K. on the Metal Masters label.
The material on the album lives up to the reputation credited to the band by both the Irish and British press.
Based in Kildare at present, BLACKWYCH are preparing for their forthcoming Irish tour to promote the new album with a U.K. tour also lined up and plans for a permanent move to Britain are on the cards to prepare for the recording of a second album before the end of the year.
Irish dates are scheduled for June/July so watch out for details.
