Moonskin are a band from British Columbia, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a symphonic and melodic mixture of black, dark and doom metal and this is a review of theri self released 2023 ep "Lunar Ascendence".
A very heavy and symphonic sound starts off the album along with some female vocals a few seconds later. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death emtal growls while the riffs also add in a lot of melody as well the mid tempo sections also adding in touches of groove metal.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while keyboards are also a very huge part of the recording. Clear male vocals and clean playing can also be heard briefly along with the songs also adding in a great amount of dark metal elements and the ep closes with a cover of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid".
On this recordingMoonskin plays a musical style that takes the melodic and symphonic forms of black, d ark and death metal and mixes them with a touch of groove metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover supernatural, horror, lycanthropy, high fantasy, exploration, loss, healing, ascension, power, life and death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Moonskin and if you are a fan symphonic, melodic black, dark and death metal and , you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Subjagation And Oppression" and "Altering the Entity". 8 out of 10.
