Holy Fawn - The Black Moon (2020) EN

The Arizona-based band impressed me and the half of the alternative music world with their 2018 album Death Spells. To such a degree that whatever they touch, they have their place reserved on my blog and on my playlists. And so does the new EP called The Black Moon.

And the material here is quite different from the album. Their music is still a kind of blending of post-rock, metal and shoegaze, but there's more focus on the atmosphere and less on the psychedelic melodies. The subtle, airy vocals by Ryan Osterman are even more airy and atmospheric while the metal-originating parts even more captivating. At least in Candy. Thethered is mostly an interlude while Blood Pact is even more interesting as it's flirting with electronic sounds and extremely post-metal in its finish. A short album but so impressive.

The Black Moon costs 3 USD.
