Moonskin are a band from Kelowna, B.C, Canada that plays a dark and melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2020 single "Lycanthropy".
Dark sounding synths start off the single before going into a heavier musical direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. The music also brings in elements of dark metal along with some death metal growls also being utilized at times and melodies are also added into the riffing.
Keyboards are also utilized at times and also gives the music more of a symphonic touch while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The second track is also a cover of HIM's "Soul On Fire" which also introduces clean goth style vocals onto the recording and all of the music sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Moonskin plays a musical style that takes dark, black and melodic death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the supernatural, lycanthropy and high fantasy themes.
In my opinion Moonskin are a very great sounding dark and melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. 8 out of 10.
