Moth, The
Hysteria
Upon the release of their acclaimed debut album They Fall in 2013 the band was praised for harbouring a sound that cooked slow burning doom, thrash, rock and death metal via a metallurgy of riffs and bold ideas. Geared toward full-metal apocalypse, that same sound was soon resurrected in 2015 on The Moths follow-up album And Then Rise, which drew justifiable comparisons to the likes of High on Fire, Mastodon, Crowbar and Kylesa. Picking up on the twin vocal play of bassist Ccile Ash and guitarist Freden Mohrdieks well-tempered Jekyll & Hyde-like aesthetic, the album was raw, ready and alive with ambition. and best of all, void of uncalled-for frills. With the addition of new member Christian Curry Korr, brought in to share rhythm duties alongside long-sitting drummer Tiffy and the partnership of Ccile and Freden as full-on and fired-up as ever, Hysteria is the audacious product of a band at their deadliest.
