Floridan alt-metallers, MOODRING, have today returned with BLACK_WAVE. a boiling blend of guitar abrasion, synthetic dissonance and an unexpectedly euphoric chorus, BLACK_WAVE is a strike of empowerment, each ugly groove and dramatic tonal shift showcases their aesthetic evolution: though the sound and visuals are thick and laden with grime, it’s crystal clear that Moodring are writing their own playbook. The first new music since last year’s acclaimed debut full length Stargazer, BLACK_WAVE finds Moodring putting darkness and aggression on speed dial.
Vocalist Hunter Young says about the new single:
“This song stems from a dark place — a narrator trapped inside a nihilistic headspace, who is driven to take over, control, and torture another. The ‘black wave’ is the dark voice inside us all, the hidden thoughts that can’t be spoken of; demons of the taboo that threaten to unleash and destroy the thin fabrics of morality and perceived ‘normalcy.'”
