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.
Today, the band launches the second single and video from their forthcoming album. Listen to “A Rest To My Name” on all streaming/download platforms or watch the lyric video HERE https://youtu.be/Rb99B9_IHhw?si=5oBIPSJoMXYMCix1
Darker, doomier and overall more ominous the track highlights the depth and maturity of the band’s composition and vision as a nice contrast to the more hostile and straightforward first single, “Obsidian.”
"’A Rest To My Name’ is a song with two meanings. For years I've wanted to write something around the concept of the 'three deaths,” explains Michael Priest. “After this song was written it managed to just fit. More so with the 'final death,' the last time someone's name is spoken. ‘A Rest to My Name’ is derived more from the prospective of the person that is already gone and embarks through a journey of never wanting to be forgotten to acceptance; leading to a conclusion that says ‘forget my name and let me rest."
