Vocalist and guitarist Ryan Patterson has spoken about the song and its video, saying, "The three of us in the band felt strongly that ‘Black Magic Punks’ be the first song released from Sister Faith because it felt like a proper Coliseum anthem and a great way to begin this chapter of our journey. Lyrically the song celebrates the groundwork laid by the ‘punks before’ while simultaneously indulging and indicting the sometimes vapid occult fixation found in the dark corners of music culture. Plus, the title seemed to serve as an unintentional epithet for the band.
"When it came time to create a visual representation for the song I immediately went to Max Moore. Max is part of Louisville’s incredible music and art community and we’d worked together on other projects in the past, with results so great that I recommended him to my friends in Converge, among others. I mentioned various loose ideas to Max and sent him clips from films by Bava and Argento (as well as Guillermo del Toro’s stellar early short “Geometria”) as reference points. From there, Max did what he does best (including finding an incredible location for the shoot) and created something even better than we had hoped!"
Recorded with producer J. Robbins at his Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, Sister Faith is the band’s first material to feature new bassist Kayhan Vaziri.
The album also includes musical contributions from Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines), Wata (Boris), Jason Loewenstein (Sebadoh, The Fiery Furnaces) and Jason Farrell (Swiz, Bluetip).
