The Black Queen is a mostly electronic band that was formed in Los Angeles. Its line-up consists of Greg Puciato (of The Dillinger Escape Plan), Joshua Eustis (former member of Nine Inch Nails and Puscifer, and sole remaining member of electronic duo Telefon Tel Aviv and solo project Sons of Magdalene), and Steven Alexander (former tech for The Dillinger Escape Plan, Nine Inch Nails, and Kesha). Their debut album, Fever Daydream, was self-released on January 29, 2016.Justin Meldal-Johnsen was the executive producer.
On January 17, 2013, Puciato revealed plans for a new project with Eustis in an interview with Revolver Magazine, but it had remained a mystery as to when they would specifically begin working together.
On March 4, 2015, they released a 1 minute 40 second-long teaser video on their official homepage under the name "The Black Queen".
The following month, on April 7, 2015, they released the music video for "The Still Point of my Turning World". This video was directed by Mitch Massie.
On June 14, 2015, at 7 o'clock pm, the band revealed their single "The End Where We Start" on BBC Radio 1 Rock Show. Two days later, they released its accompanying music video on their official Youtube account, premiering it on the Rolling Stone website. The video was again directed by Mitch Massie.
On June 25, 2015, the band randomly selected fans who had entered a contest via their homepage entering shipping address and subscribing to their mailing list in the process, and randomly distributed 33 limited edition copies of a tape labeled Fever Daydream Cassette MMXV free of charge to the contest winners. This cassette tape contained one song on each side, each of them running 33 minutes long.
Following this, 233 limited edition copies of The End Where We Start were made available for purchase on 12" vinyl, and sold only from the band's official website on July 9, 2015. The band did not promote this news on any social networking websites; only fans who had subscribed to their website's mailing list were notified with information about the vinyl sales. Since then, the band has continued to use their mailing list to update fans with their most current news and given notification of items for sale.
