Book Of Black Earth formed in late 2003 when TJ Cowgill (guitar) and Hank Guthrie (keyboards) joined with Joe Axler (Skarp, Splatterhouse, Closed Casket) on drums, Larry Perrigo on bass, and Rebekah Dunbar on guitar and wrote three songs for a demo which was released in 2004 on our their own label Cryptstyle Records. That was limited to 150 copies. Two songs from that demo later appeared on a split with Fall Of The Bastards which was released in 2005 on Evil Morgue Records. Larry left the band in 2004 to focus on Wormwood and Jeffery Hayes was recruited on bass that same year. In October 2005 the band recorded their first full length titled "The Feast" which was recieved well in magazines like Terrorizer and Decibal cementing the group in the underground metal scene. Rebekah Dunbar left the band in 2006 to be replaced by Dav Tafoya-Garcia (Countdown To Armagaeddon). Jeffery Hayes was replaced by Tony Lombardi (Wizards Of Wor, Ripping Servant) on bass in early 2007. Dav and Tony would later switch bass and guitar and the current most brutal line up was realized.
In april of 2008 Book Of Black Earth signed a deal with Prosthetic Records and began work on their second headbanger "Horoskopus", with Producer/Engineer Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes, Mouth of the Architect) at Red Room Studios in Seattle, Washington. Based on the astrological origins of all religion, with an emphasis on Christianity, Horoskopus is by far the most brutal, unapologetic album the band has ever recorded. Set to be released in October 14th 2008, Horoskopus will insure Book of Black Earth begin touring the US and Europe.
