The USA-based black metal outfit Mo'ynoq has revealed another taste of its upcoming sophomore album, A Place For Ash, set for release on 9 September, with the new single "Penance", which awaits you in the player below.
The band comments: "'Penance' is a representation of the sacrifice we make to the mistakes of our past. How through this sacrifice we can unlock the truth. That through our own pain we can find the higher meaning in our suffering".
Mo'ynoq, with the new album, returns to fall deeper into labyrinths of anguish and despair. Brandishing feral riffs and cadaverous imagery, Mo'ynoq unearths the dark realities of depression, despair and loss.
The quartet draw inspiration from the likes of Immortal, Wolves In The Throne Room, Mgla, along with the savage side to reality from which so many avert their gaze. Seething anguish seeps through A Place For Ash with raging power. Ferocious screams introduce the opening track, "Penance", before a deathly gloom emerges through the all-encompassing atmosphere. Unceasing percussion and dominant distortion across the instruments produce an incessant disquiet. "Effigies Adorned In Fire" is ablaze with intricate tremolo guitar parts and thundering drums. It's an onslaught of sheer speed, delivering a differing mood with these textures and tones taking prominence. Concluding the album with "The Beast That Mourned At The Heart Of The Mountain", the epic fury reaching almost twelve minutes, this final act sees the majestic elements of Mo'ynoq's sound converge. While maintaining their footing along the path of the dark and heavy, there are uplifting, soaring qualities in the lead melodies.
A Place For Ash lays bear nightmarish horrors for all to see. Mo'ynoq artfully crafts its compositions to indulge in various instrumental and vocal textures that form their black metal sound. The new record delivers a profound musical journey through the ever-growing shadows of our world. Link
