Black Coast is an English

nu metalcore band from Stoke-on-Trent
, United Kingdom.

History

Formation and Ill Minds Vol. 1 (2016-2020)

The band was formed in January 2016[5] following the folding of the bands "Bet It All" and "Dead City Souls".[6] The idea was originally pitched by Scott Pinnington to fellow guitarist Joe Mayer, who then invited bassist Jack Beardsall and drummer Matty Clark, with Charlie Hewitt finally arriving after a small number of practice sessions.[1][6]

The name "Black Coast" was created by an ex-member of a different band, which was ultimately never used; Mayer then reiterated the name when the newly-formed band was looking for one.[6]

A debut EP was released which resulted in a tour with Stray from the Path, with the band later touring Japan and supporting the bands Silent Screams and In Hearts Wake.[5] The EP Ill Minds Vol. 1 was released on November 9, 2018.[5]

Outworld and self-titled extended play (2021-present)

Black Coast released the song "Paradise" on April 7, 2021, as the lead single from their album

A Place for My Head.[3] The COVID-19 pandemic bought the band extra time to work on the album,[1][4] which was in a complete state upon the release of "Paradise".[3]

The second single from the album, "Strangers Skin", was released on 3 August.[4]

Originally intended to be released on August 27,[7] Outworld was ultimately postponed to a 19 November release.[8]

The band announced a self-titled EP in January of 2023 with the lead single "Mercy".[9] Released on 28 April 2023,[10][11][12][13][14] a promotional UK-wide tour commenced.

Musical style and influences

The band have cited their musical influences as being "all about the groove",[5] with grunge band Alice in Chains, nu metal pioneers Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Deftones, and nu metal revivalists Ocean Grove being highlighted by Hewitt as specific examples.[1]
