Chicago-based traditional metal band BLACK SITES have released a playthrough video of their song “Chasing Eternity,” featuring Tom Draper. (Ex-Carcass/Spirit Adrift) The track is taken from their new album The Promised Land? which is out today on vinyl and all streaming platforms.
Frontman Mark Sugar comments, “We haven’t done a playthrough video in forever, and this track seemed like a fun one to try. A massive “thank you” to Tom Draper for dropping by to play the solo.”
