Formed in London, Ontario (Canada), The Black Bridge started when long-time friends Crebbs and MP decided they had wanted to get this project off the ground. After several years of throwing the idea around, July, 2007 was finally the time.
Within a couple of weeks their first single, ‘Fringe’ was written. Combining some riffs that Crebbs had written on the fly with a collection of poems MP had laying around, the track materialized rather quickly and gave the band inspiration to continue working on this project.
Not wanting to pigeon hole themselves into one specific genre, The Black Bridge draws from many different creative outlets, combining them into something a little different than the ‘norm’. Though the music tends to lean towards a darker side of the spectrum, there are other aspects to it that any metal lover can attach to.
Through semi-poetic lyrics, these songs cover emotional issues on a personal level that the band members have survived over the course of their lives. From loss, to infidelity, to just coping with everyday life The Black Bridge looks to grab a hold of the listener to give them a glimpse at what went into creating this album. Though these words are written in such a way that everyone can draw their own experiences from them, the music speaks to its audience on many different levels.
Their first E.P. entitled ‘The Fallen’ is out now!”
‘The Black Bridge’ is one of my ‘band’ projects, focusing more on the heavier side of music as you may have read in the official bio above.
We set out to create this project as more of a test of our abilities and to answer the question, ‘Can we actually pull this off?’, since neither of us had tried anything like this before.
Sure, guitar based music is what sparked the creative nerve in me to create music in the first place…and over the years I’ve created some similar pieces, but never had I attempted a full-on metal assault with myself doing the vocals.
In the end everything seemed to work out fine, though not everything was as perfect as I’d like it. Which is okay, because now we can release more and more albums and further define the sound we had originally intended on nailing.
