Aus dem San Fernando Valley stammen UPON STONE, die eine frische Variante des Melodic Death Metals zelebrieren, inklusive Schwedensounds und Hardcore-Vibe. An diesem Wochenende hat ihr Label den Track `Dead Mother Moon` als Video online gestellt, um auf ihr kommendes Studioalbum “Dead Mother Moon”  aufmerksam zu machen, das am 19. Januar 2024 herauskommt.

Bassist und Growler Xavier Wahlberg erklärt zum Song:

“A mortal human’s search for meaning through the practice of ritual and magic. Discovering the power and reverence of the nocturnal spirit world waiting to be gained for those willing to devote themselves to it completely. The Dead Mother Moon represents a manifestation/personification of these elements. A deity/goddess ruling over it all.”

Lyrics:

Farewell, cold queen dressed in white

Buried in andromeda

The world she gave

When life was taken from mine

Forced to weather cosmic storms

Burdened, blinded sworn to the unknown

And the stars began to turn

Through their shadows cast

So I may only see her

Cold eyes piercing blue

Shine dead mother moon

For her light, my own am to extinguish

The reverence and ritual begin again

To the void where I am at one with thee

Frozen skies, over forests draped in glory

In darkness to rule them all

And in the glare of the crescent

Forever gazing down

Shrouded in penumbral sorrow

Only rays of solstice

To eclipse me

The longest night

The coldest day

I worship

Cold eyes piercing blue

Still, I sworn to the unknown

Chosen son of the silent lunar goddess

Shine dead mother moon

From her light, my own am to inherit (eternal)

The reverence and ritual begin a new

To the void now I am at one with thee

Frozen skies, over embers burning glory

In darkness I rule them all
