An aura of mystique surrounds Black Sites. The super group features former Trials-members
Mark Sugar (vocals/guitar) and Ryan Bruchert (guitar), plus John Picillo from Without Waves
and Immortal Birds on bass, and Chris Avgerin, formerly of Autonomy and Lost Dog, on drums.
The four-piece band draws inspiration from classic and modern metal and hard rock influences
including Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, 1970s Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Fates Warning,
Motörhead, Queensrÿche, Voivod, Hammers Of Misfortune, and Dawnbringer. Debut album 'In
Monochrome' was recorded at Gunpoint Recording Studios with recording engineer Quentin
Poynter (The Skull) and mastered by John Scrip at Massive Mastering (Manowar, Testament,
Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens, Harry Conick and Sheila E.).
