Музыка и песни Secrets of the Moon / Secrets of the Moon на LP

Gatefold LP (180g vinyl, black, special vinyl mastering) incl. insert, padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve. On their seventh full-length "Black House", Secrets of the Moon offer us a re-invented version of their pristinely sinister rock music. Reunited with founding member Lars Plegge (Daevas), the Germans further explore the path taken on critically acclaimed predecessor "Sun" (ranked by opinion-forming German magazine Rock Hard among the key albums of the new millennium), serving nothing and no one, only their songs. While the material on "Sun" seemed like relentless, emotional outbreaks exploring new worlds, "Black House" bursts with self-confidence and gets closer to the point with well-composed, catchy tunes of subtle movement, blackened grace and furious elegance. The result is a unique blend of styles one fails to pay full justice to with tags such as "goth rock" and "post punk" or references to Alice In Chains, Tiamat's "Wildhoney"-era and Fields Of The Nephilim. The material was recorded in guitarist, engineer and producer Michael Zech's (Ar) own The Church of Sound studio over the course of almost one year. "While working on it, the studio turned more and more into the Black House," says the band, hinting at the intensity of the recordings. "We became obsessed, we became the house." During that time, the quartet welcomed guests as Jarboe as well as members from Empyrium, (Dolch), The Ruins Of Beverast, Dark Fortress and Enemy Of The Sun, who contributed to the individual vibes of all songs. "Black House" is embedded into a strong and extensive visual concept, comprising both a sophisticated artwork (best displayed in the artbook edition) and video clips of each album track. The visuals pivot on nine artefacts - abstract references to the lyrics and the general feelings of the songs - which serve as a golden thread spun throughout and create a visceral world around, respectively within the Black House. Filmed, directed and designed by infamous French artists Metastazis (Led Zeppelin, Morbid Angel, Ulver) and Dehn Sora (Deathspell Omega, Amen Ra, Blut Aus Nord) within several months of constant work, "Black House" is a highly ambitious, compelling artistic synthesis. "Everybody is welcome in the Black House, but the house rules apply," singer and guitarist Phil Jonas (sG) concludes. "Bring rubber boots; it's below sea-level, sometimes it gets wet inside …"

Gatefold 2LP, golden 180g vinyl, poster and PVC protection sleeve, 500 copies. With their powerful release "Antithesis", Secrets Of The Moon have multiplied all their strengths. "This album", explains singer and guitarist sGolden correctly, "indeed offers something totally different. Music-wise, these are the most intense and tight tracks we've ever created. Spiritual darkness paired with a very progressive approach. The content of the songs is very direct, sometimes even perversely assaulting and desperate." In its perfect balance of wildness and calculation, in its evocative, hypnotic intensity, in its heavy grandeur, in its sublime structure, in its confessional obsessiveness, "Antithesis" is an immense step for Secrets Of The Moon and at the same time one of the most important releases in the realm of extreme music for a long time.

Gatefold 2LP, red 180g vinyl, poster and PVC protection sleeve, 500 copies available. Secrets Of The Moon have created their own world and their conceptually superior and inimitable brand of Black Metal on their second album "Carved In Stigmata Wounds" (2003). With more than 50 concerts all over Europe, the band proved themselves to be one of the most exciting German live bands. The second album "Carved In Stigmata Wounds" represents an album that impressively reflects the strong will to break all bounds. Record Label: Prophecy Productions Style: Black Metal

Gatefold 2LP, grey 180g vinyl, poster and PVC protection sleeve, 500 copies available. "Privilegivm" is not a sequel. It's not a follow-up, neither for "Antithesis" nor for "Carved In Stigmata Wounds" or "Stronghold Of The Inviolables". Secrets Of The Moon have waited three years before releasing their new album; it took them some doing. But now, the child is alive and kicking. After the departure of A.D. and Daevas, the band have reinvented themselves, and now they are stronger than ever before. High-precision, technical drumming combined with guitar walls that bring you to your knees and a new variability of the vocals are the trademarks of a band that doesn't just live up to a good reputation. "Privilegivm" is an album of sacral depths; it's like an opening of the sky, the phoenix from the ashes after the highs and lows of the last years. And it's an album full of pride, full of light and the spectra of unlight, full of death and blasphemy. A pure metal album composed and recorded to be listened to loud and in complete darkness.

Gatefold 2LP (180g vinyl, black) with special vinyl mastering, 12-page booklet and special outer sleeve (500 copies available). The sun is both source of warming light and all-devouring fireball Secrets Of The Moon have named their sixth album after it, since it stems from the immediate experience of becoming and perishing, of ending and starting anew - not only in the musicians' private sphere but also within the band itself. In the wake of existential experiences, the new line-up created the band's boldest and most intense album to date. On "Sun", Black Metal is less of a dogma but intuitively transferred into a context of universally dark music, expressing the artists' spiritual catharsis and growth without restrictions. If with this album, Secrets Of The Moon represent one particular style in 2015, it is their very own, saturated with unwavering self-confidence and the will to live.
