‘Polished and technical, but never lacking in intensity’ – NME
On new album ‘Condemned to Hope’ Black Moth truly render themselves a glimmering presence in the firmament of 21st century rock. A band just as comfortable sharing the Temples festival bill with the likes of Electric Wizard and Neurosis as they are alongside Nick Cave, Iggy Pop and Deborah Harry on the forthcoming Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions album ‘Axels And Sockets’, and having already laid waste to Europe in support of Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats, this uniquely potent and poleaxing proposition are set to spread their wings to oblivion and beyond in September and October with their own headline UK tour. A small taster is now online in the form of a new live video for album track ‘Tumbleweave’ recorded at the band’s recent XFM X-posure show in London –
‘Condemned To Hope’, produced like their first album by Jim Sclavunos (Grinderman, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, The Cramps) and released on 15th September takes their kaleidoscopic heaviosity and sepulchral style to a whole new plateau of riff-driven dementia. It’s an album of fearsome drive and clandestine twists, skilfully sidestepping the cliché and heavy-handedness of delivery that often seems fit to destroy contemporary heavy rock ‘n’ roll from the inside out.
Black Moth will be joined on their upcoming UK tour by NHS label mates Limb who released their debut self titled album earlier this year.
