Void Moon
On The Blackest Of Nights
Void Moon strikes a deadly blow with their debut album, "On the Blackest of Nights", proving once again that Sweden is a country where doom metal traditionally lives and prospers. The roots of Void Moon's music are undoubtely deeply buried in the historic tradition of Metal, following the path drawn by the godfathers of doom (Black Sabbath and Candlemass above all); but Void Moon's atypical offer will also please fans of Solitude Aeternus and contemporary bands like Hammers of Misfortune and Grand Magus. An atmosphere of resigned pain and claustrophobic suffering flows on the entire work, finding its uttermost expression in songs such as the title track and the lamentous "Among the Dying"- with momentary outbursts of anger perfectly characterized by Jonas Gustavsson's vocal performance. Performed by musicians who are fans in the first place, "On the Blackest of Nights "represents a genuine and sincere offer to any lover of decadent and oppressive atmosphere of which Doom metal is about.
