Mystic Moon

Doom...Forever...Dreaming

 

I suppose that those of you who read Behind The Veil on a regular
basis are already aware of Mystic Moon since we reviewed their
previous demo CD only a few months ago. However, if this name
doesn't ring a bell to you, then let me tell you that it's a Greek
doom metal band from Athens that was formed a few years ago and
their reason for existence is to deliver great music to those ears
that are thirsty for good old doom metal! Now, like I said in my
previous review Mystic Moon is heavily influenced by colossal
bands of the genre such as SOLITUDE AETURNUS and CANDLEMASS and so
you can have a pretty clear view of their sound. Now, what I've
realized by listening to this demo CD numerous times is the fact
that the guys have improved their songwriting skills and they've
created some really nice and heavy riffs wrapped up in a dark and
melancholic atmosphere. How would you feel if you were headed to
the firing squad and you were only a few metres away from your
execution? Well, this is the essence, the feelings and the picture
I had in my mind throughout this release. I think that if you are
doom metallers, you should check this band out, cause they really
have something to offer you. The only drawback I'd like to point
out is that their singer should improve his English accent and
pronunciation a bit. Apart from that, nothing else. Doom on!!!

Mystic Moon

Promo 2005

 

Mystic Moon is an Athenean band that delivers its own
interpretation of what doom metal music is and stands for. So, on
this "Promo 2005" you will have the chance to listen to three
compositions that dwell in the doom metal genre of course, but at
the same time they have an intense epic hue. If I could translate
their music into a feeling, I'd say that for me it's the feeling
soldiers have when they march to war. It's the feeling of sadness
and desperation, of acceptance of the fate that lies ahead of you.
Musically these guys brought to my mind bands such as CANDLEMASS,
SOLITUDE AETURNUS and DOOMSWORD. They seem to be well focused on
what they want to do and pretty determined to give it a hard try
to make their dreams come true. So, they undoubtedly have
potential, but there is also space for further improvement and
evolution, especially on the production and the way the vocals are
linked with the music. Check them out and get in touch with them
at the following email address.
