Today, Signal Rex, in conspiracy with Bestial Burst, announces August 27th as the international release date for Moon Oracle's striking debut album, Muse of the Nightside, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Moon Oracle was formed by Sûrya-Ishtara and U after spending years searching for their own sound with previous bands. Later on, Harald Mentor was asked to fill the role of vocalist, knowing his abilities from such acts as Ride for Revenge and Incriminated, among many others. Thus formed, Moon Oracle began their first recording in earnest.
Now, that first recording arrives in full-length form with Muse of the Nightside. Aptly titled, Muse of the Nightside reveals Moon Oracle as astute auctioneers of pure-yet-idiosyncratic metal, equally informed by archaic black metal and eldritch doom, all bass-heavy crunge and wild tribal drumming. And yet, these essentially lunar reflections stem from the need to reiterate their darker, violent energies into expressive form: intense, irascible, derelict, dire. Sonically, then, the album explores that battleground between the Id and the Ego - barbaric primitivism ripped asunder and reshaped into ghoulishly avant-garde shapes. It's a trip, man.
Moon Oracle is not for everyone; taboos exist for a reason. For those of such constitution, their Muse of the Nightside will open its chasm and ensnare with lurid ease.
Dare to step into that chasm with the brand-new track "Rite of Chthonic Mother" HERE at Signal Rex's official YouTube channel. Cover and
