Prepare to dive deep into the haunting and melodic realms of sorrow as Old Moon announces the release of their highly anticipated self-titled debut album, dropping on November 5, 2024. For fans of Swallow the Sun, Harakiri for the Sky, and Gaerea, Old Moon blends the power of blackened melodic metal with heart-wrenching lyricism that speaks to the darkest corners of human emotion.
Born in the damp, brooding atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest, Old Moon is the creation of Michael Priest (Gone In April, Idolatrous, ex-Boudica), whose vision is to craft music that tells the tale of life’s deepest sorrows. Themes of depression, grief, loss, and death form the emotional backbone of Old Moon’s lyrical content, offering listeners a cathartic escape through its evocative soundscapes.
With the new album, Old Moon marries the intensity of post-black metal with the melodic intricacies of death metal, creating a unique sonic experience. Accompanied by lush orchestration and immersive guitar melodies, the band weaves a rich tapestry of sound that both strikes the mind and embraces the heart.
Michael Priest shares his vision behind Old Moon’s music:
“Our songs are stitched together by themes of personal struggle, loss, and death. But within these dark spaces, there is a certain beauty in the melancholy – a kind of solace for those who have felt the weight of the world.”
About Old Moon:
