Beneath Moonlight

by BENEATH MOONLIGHT

Ippocalyptica Beneath Moonlight’s debut EP is clearly the work of seasoned musicians, even if you have likely never heard of the other projects to which these enigmatic characters belong. On the surface, this is atmospheric and somewhat raw BM, but what elevates this amongst the large field of similar bands is the outstanding piano work which is not merely a flourish, but integral to the compositions. It also helps that I hear early Ulver, Arcturus, and Satanic Art-era DHG vibes. Title track is stunning! Favorite track: Beneath Moonlight.

Skvm Cadaverous Have you ever been walking alone in the woods in the evening and felt a sudden urge that you need to run or else something is going to get you? that sudden, unexpected feelings of being pursued and that if you do not sprint at full force away you will be caught by whatever dark specter is pursuing you?

that's kinda what this feels like. In a good way. In the best way in fact.

about

The latest transmission from the shadowed circle of Ordo Vampyr Orientis (BAT MAGIC, BAD MANOR, BEASTIAL MAJESTY), pianistic Black Metal mavericks BENEATH MOONLIGHT arrive on DMP in fantastic style with their unhinged self-titled debut EP.

BENEATH MOONLIGHT are possessed of the same madcap reverent irreverence familiar from the previous works of this mysterious sect, and the band dramatically channel the evil spirits, gothic castles and filthy asylums of '90s vampiric Black Metal with a peculiar modern power and edge-of-seat propulsion.

Bolstered by a relentless rhythm section and pared-down but perfectly-judged riffing, the tracks are carried forth by the harrowing vocal ravings of the undead and adorned with addictive, strident piano flurries like so much intermingling of mortal and werewolf DNA.

The EP is the first part of the Henricus Institor saga, so named after the German churchman who in 1487 published a document known as the Malleus Maleficarum – a veritable how-to guide for the inquisitioning and dispatching of accused witches. As witch trials became more commonplace in Europe, Institor rose to a place of immense power in the Catholic Church. As his power grew, not only did his ego grow, but so did his notoriety and infamy in places of magick, to the point where a revenge plot was hatched: kidnap Institor and curse him with lycanthropy so that he would be a beast and unwelcome in the Church.

The record documents Institor delving into black magick in his search for a cure, only to come to the realization that he is more powerful an acolyte of the occult than a servant of the Christian God.
