This week, Bear McCreary shared "Black Box", featuring Joe Duplantier (Gojira) and the legendary women's choir the Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices.
"I need more cinematic metal in my life!" exclaims McCreary. "The Singularity: Ekleipsis builds upon the musical and narrative themes of my 2024 album The Singularity, and this time around it rocks even harder. My brother, vocalist/producer Brendan McCreary, and I were once again thrilled to partner with a number of inspiring artists for this record, each of whom brought their unique musical personalities and perspectives to the project.
"Black Box, our debut single, was written in collaboration with and features Joe Duplantier, of the iconic band Gojira. It blends my cinematic background with Joe's distinctive vocals, harmonized beautifully by the legendary women's choir the Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices. Equally inspired by '90s alternative bands, Eastern European folk music, symphonic film scores, and progressive metal, 'Black Box' encapsulates the epic scope of Ekleipsis while just cracking open the door to the rest of the album."
