Today, Signal Rex announces December 8th as the international release date for Burial Moon‘s striking debut mini-album, self-titled Burial Moon, on CD, 12″ vinyl, and cassette tape formats.
Burial Moon are a mysterious international entity which may or may not include members as distant as Northern Europe as well as the southernmost climes of Europe. Grim and ethereal is their black metal, as the four lengthy tracks across their 22-minute Burial Moon mini-album cast a spell of raw mysticism immediately felt. The guitar tone alone, despite being hypnotically melodic, sounds like decay in realtime; the vocals suitably hover above the ever-surging miasma like a malignant spectre, and often take on a disembodied choral effect. And, for as lengthy as those four component tracks are, their song titles go to great lengths – literally – to convey the psychic headspace Burial Moon are occupying on their public debut. Curious about this mystery? Then catch the band playing this year’s Signal Rex-curated Invicta Requiem Mass VII in Porto, Portugal.
In the meantime, hear the brand-new track “The witch is dead. The nightingale sings while the raven is mourning” both HERE at Signal Rex‘s Bandcamp as well as HERE at the label’s official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
