Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Old Moon present their own melodic black metal vision through the mournful soundscapes of the new full length “Home To Nowhere”.
Drenched in darkness “Between the Stars” hypnotizes the listener with gloomy melodic splendor and opulent orchestrations but also efficiently builds an impenetrable wall of sound fueled by the relentless frostbitten guitar riffs.
“Obsidian” stands out for the classical beauty of the vibrant orchestration unfolding around ominous rhythmic patterns and hellish growls.
The title track depicts a bleak world of ruins where evocative melodic guitars and ferocious drum blasts naturally entwine surrounded by dramatic atmospheric waves emphasizing an introspective approach.
“Creations Undone” reveals a sophisticated melodic composition as guitars often slow down to convey a profound melancholia amplified by ethereal female vocals and ghastly atmospheric arrangements.
Within the cathartic sonic realm of “Home To Nowhere” Old Moon genuinely express an emotional turmoil but certainly don’t refrain from savage black metal dynamics.
