Slaves BC is a doomy blackened-hardcore band from Pittsburgh, Pa. Slaves BC was formed at the end of 2010 by 3 long time friends: Josh Thieler [Vocals/Drums], Sean Singer [Guitar/Vocals] and Rick van Newkirk [Guitar]. They immediately began writing their first demo This World Shall Pass Away.
Josh Thieler asked Jason Cantu [Bass] to join the band on the first day of recording in June of 2011. The demo’s were recorded at Bloodbot Studios with George Thieler. Slaves BC spent the next year writing and recording more material, and they did not start playing shows until the summer of 2012. Since then, they have shared the stage with bands such as Nachtmystium, Lord Mantis, Atlas Moth, Atriarch, and Once Nothing.
In October of 2012, Slaves BC went to Very Tight Recordings to record their self-released We Mean Nothing EP. This EP showcased the blend of Slaves BC’s writing style with 3 genre bending songs. In February of 2013, Slaves BC again entered Very Tight Recordings to record songs for the upcoming split 7’’ with Cousin Sleaze [NY]. This 7’’ is currently being pressed, and is expected to be released digitally and on vinyl at the end of May, 2013.
