Background

edit

The album was available for pre-order on August 18, 2015 with extra track "Nobody's Fool".

The origin of the album's title was described by Prozak himself as: "Black Ink came from a lot of things actually but essentially I was watching a documentary and there was a gentleman talking about the moment of death and he had actually passed away for five minutes and he described it as black ink being poured into his eyes".[2]

The album's lead single, "Your Creation", was released on September 2 with an accompanying music video dropped on October 7. Its second single, "Purgatory", was released on September 24, and "The Plague" was dropped on September 30 as the third single.
