4. Black Moth
doom/horror/psychedelic
It didnt take a lot. One song to be exact. It took one song for
Black Moth to go from band Ive never heard of, to band Im making sure I go see without fail. The song was
Blackbirds Fall and my listening stemmed from my prowling every nook and cranny of the
Download line-up to write this feature. Which was a nice pay off. Anyhow, the band formed in 2010, after a history as a Leeds based garage rock band prior to that. This new incarnation though is an altogether different beast; big doom metal riffs, stoner groove, horror movie imagery, occult lyrical content and psychedelic melody. Taking influence from those that came before them from
Black Sabbath through
Pentagram to
Electric Wizard and
Sleep but driven by their garage rock beginnings and highlighted by vocalist
Harriet Bevans hypnotic vocals. http://youtu.be/PrxFUWM6BrY
