Who's catching the Black Map show tomorrow?
Black Map came together when the Trophy Fire and dredg were in various states of dormancy. Flanagan says he also sometimes played with dredg as a sort of fifth member, so he and Engles were already playing within the same musical frequency. Later, they recruited Robyn, and the three started trying to come up with something heavy and fun.
Flanagan wrote all the lyrics to the songs, which he says contain ominous dystopian themes. Songs like “Madness,” “Capture the Flag” and “Chasms” were written prior to the pandemic, and seem like they could be about it, even if they aren’t. Flanagan says he is grateful that he was able to write and record during the height of the pandemic; the band started recording in February of 2020 and had to pause and change studios because of the lockdowns. That afforded the bandmembers the opportunity to listen to what they had recorded so far and make little tweaks here and there. They ended up with a better album because of that, Flanagan says, so the uncertainty during those “wild, wild times” wasn’t all bad.
Returning to the stage after the near-total death of live music in 2020 — even if he remembered how to play the notes and how to sing — carried a strange and distant quality at first. As of April 11, the band was more than 20 shows into its 36-show tour, and he’s grateful to be playing in front of a crowd again.
