The Black Powder will be the of fourth studio album from Finland's doomsters Lord Vicar, and will be out on May 3rd via Church Within Records. It was recorded by Joona Lukala at Noise for Fiction studio in Turku, Finland. All studio work took place in February and March of 2019.

The band comments on album: "The album contains a loose lyrical concept relating to mankind's endless lack of reason and weakness of stability, resulting to violence, war, manipulation of children, and numbing our minds in order to shut out the horror that is the reality we live in. We blow the black lines to feel good. This takes place generation after generation, in an endless cycle of standing and falling. Musically and lyrically the album covers a wide spectrum of textures from the all out punky attack of "The Temple In The Bedrock", fragile beauty of "Nightmare", to the oppressive menace of the more intense moments of "Sulphur, Charcoal And Saltpetre". This album is a grower, meant to be listened repeatedly, full of subtle details that reveal themselves with each subsequent listen."
