Birthed in the wet grounds and grey skies of the Pacific Northwest, OLD MOON aims to bring a unique new band to tell the tales of life's sorrows.
Depression, grief, loss of self and death are the keys that stitch these heart aching lyrics together. Accompanied to feed the image, a beautiful orchestra fills the air, meeting a breath of guitar melodies entangling melodic death and post black metal together in solidarity. Binding a tense and resonating sound that strikes the mind and embraces the heart, this is OLD MOON.
The Portland-based outfit, founded by Michael Priest (Gone In April, Idolatrous, ex-Boudica), self-released a 3-song EP last November. That EP left an impression on M-Theory Audio label founder Marco Barbieri who recognized the vision and potential of OLD MOON keeping tabs as the group built and solidified itself with a full lineup, live shows and the eventual recording of a full album that secured a release with the label for late spring 2026.
"We put a lot of time into looking for a respectable label that we could trust to properly take care of our music. Seeing the reputation and consistency of M-Theory the choice was made easy for us,” states Michael Priest.
“We're very excited to be joining M-Theory and stand alongside the amazing roster of bands that they already have. We're looking forward to future releases with the label and other opportunities that this partnership presents."
The relationship begins with today’s release of the band’s new single “Obsidian” available on all digital streaming/download platforms, or watch the group’s music video HERE https://youtu.be/LKiPMu1j5HE?si=KhQgsOR-D1lKXRku
“’Obsidian’ as a title is a metaphor for the music and the lyrics. In a way of something being strong and sharp but also weak and brittle,” explains Michael Priest. “That's something that kind of represents a major theme for the music, painting a picture of anger that developed from sadness and vice versa. The EP of course had the sound to match that but choosing to do a video for "Obsidian" I think puts a face to the music in a way that visually describes the band and music in an accurate and honest way.”
“Obsidian” is the first preview of the group’s forthcoming full-length, planned for spring 2026. More information about the album and pre-order will be announced in the coming months. In the meantime, please enjoy “Obsidian” and lend an ear to their self-titled EP available on digital platforms or via Bandcamp https://oldmoonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/old-moon-ep
