When Colors Fade Away

Now based in Pittsburgh, PA, Eric has a new Blackfinger lineup including another familiar name in doom circles, ​guitarist Terry Weston (Dream Death and Penance). M-Theory Audio is pleased to announce a ​September 15th release date for the album ​on CD, limited edition colored vinyl and digital​. Featuring ​photos from Matt Bluejay and graphic design by Al Oaks​, When Colors Fade Away is a striking and artistic package with a ​full color 12-page CD booklet and a 4-page vinyl insert​.

“Colors were a common theme throughout the first record… I think it was ​ a reference for life, or maybe it was hope...”, explains Eric Wagner. “What happens when colors start to fade or ​you feel like all hope is lost? I think there comes a time in everyone’s life when you need to​ confront your dark side in order to get to the light. When I saw the photographs of the old abandoned funeral home by Matt Bluejay, I thought it would make the perfect album cover for When Colors Fade Away, and the ​start of the journey to feel good about oneself again.”

Recently Blackfinger performed at Cleveland’s ​Agora Theatre as part of a live show captured for the forthcoming fictional film, Death Metal​. Watch for ​more live show announcements​, as well as ​audio samples coming soon​. 

M-Theory Audio is the new label recently launched by ​Marco Barbieri, the former president of Century Media Records​, whose previous experience includes ​Nuclear Blast and Metal Blade​. Joining Marco in this adventure are colleagues whose past experience includes work for labels like ​Century Media, Prosthetic, Victory and Epitaph​. The label’s roster includes Mongolian/Nomadic Folk Metal band ​Tengger Cavalry​, Traditional Metal Revivalists ​White Wizzard​, Pagan Death Metal band ​Helsott​, Las Vegas prog/power metal band ​Sicocis​, Black Metal Ritualists ​Empyrean Throne and Nor Cal’s death/metalcore band ​Apothesary and more.
