Black Tar Superstar is a doom/stoner/sludge metal band from Akron, Ohio. The band was created by bassist/vocalist Chad Perkins who at the time, wrote and recorded all the songs over a 3 to 4-year period in his basement with a drum machine playing all the parts himself. In the Spring of 2020, he wanted to have a live full band collaborating on these very dark, doom filled tracks, creating a bone crunching sound to bring these songs to life. He then enlisted drummer Steve “Reaper” Komlody to give it a more aggressive, groovier style of drumming. He then added guitarist Jason McCraken, who brings a sludgy, southern vibe to the riffs. Lastly, adding guitarist Logan Komlody, who provides a very aggressive and percussive style to the riffs with perfectly placed pinch harmonics.

This Sabbath/Down/Danzig/Type O Negative like quartet coming together, have blended heavy and groove together to form a huge wall of sound. Other influences include: Neurosis, Acid Witch, High On Fire and countless others. Their songs discuss a variety of topics such as the occult, apocalyptic themes, loss of love and history. First they learned a variety of Chad’s own material and now they have just started to write together; someone introduces a new riff, they jam it out and everyone puts their spin on it. The first two songs they wrote together as a band were »Hail To The Succubus« and »Serial«.

The band released their debut EP, »…Old Gods, Awaken!«, on October 30th, 2020 via The Swamp Records.
