From the ashes of the long-running and revered 16 Volt, Black December was founded in Summer 2014 to bring a heavy, melodic, raw, and emotion filled approach to modern hard rock. Working with co-producer Marc Jordan (The Cult, Die Antwoord, Velvet Revolver), the band wrapped up production of their debut release, titled Vol. 1, in December 2014 and got together with renowned mastering engineer Howie Weinberg (Metallica, Muse, Nirvana) to put the finishing touches on the album in Winter 2015. In March 2015, Black December signed a global three-album deal with legendary independent label Metropolis Records. Shortly after signing, the band was invited to play select shows with KMFDM to kick off their 2015 plans.
