SECRETS OF THE MOON – Privilegivm CD
Prophecy Productions/Lupus Lounge Records
SECRETS OF THE MOON break away from what people would traditionally consider the German Black Metal style. I’m not going to get into that description but after doing some background work I come to find out that this band has been tagged as (choose one) Progressive, Post Black Metal or Avant-Garde. Since this is my first time checking out one of their releases I have nothing to go on as far as their past work. I will say that after a few spins of Privilegivm I’m of the belief that these Germans are definitely swimming in the deep dark end of the blackened pool. During the early part of Black Metal’s second wave there never was a definitive sound per say. You had so many bands experimenting with the genres new found freedom. If there was one thing which they all had in common, to an extent, was a foundation in creating a crushing sound. SECRETS OF THE MOON, who I now know started in the 90s, has that part down and simply adds to it giving each cut on here variety. So for the listener this is not just music but a listening experience or for those of you perplexed, their songs are long. Privilegivm is over an hour’s journey into a world with no joy but plenty of pain, misery and doom.
