Moonoises are a band from Italy that plays a mixture of blackgaze, post black and doom metal with elements of post punk and darkwave and this is a review of their 2024 album "She - the Void" which will be released on march 8th by These Hands Melt.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the clean sections also mix in elements of post punk and darkwave and some of the clear vocals add in touches of 80's deathrock.
The slower sections of the songs are also very heavily rooted in doom metal and doomgaze while the tracks also add in a lot of post rock and shoegaze touches. Synths are also utilized at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are introduced into the music.
Some of the music also captures the dark atmosphere of black metal along with one song also adding in a brief use of blast beats as well as most of the album sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover melancholic themes.
In my opinion Moonoises are a very great sounding mixture of blackgaze, post black and doom metal with elements of post punk and darkwave and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Beyond" "Creepy 31" "Cold Grey" and "Mirror". 8 out of 10.
