Black Madonna is the first studio album by American alternative metal duo The Austerity Program, released in 2007 through Hydra Head Records. The title has nothing to do with the singer Madonna, nor does it relate to the Black Madonna statue. Rather, it was picked as a name for the record because "[they] actually have no idea".[3]
