Secrets Of The Moon is a
German black metal band that was formed in 1995 and consists of ex-members of
several other occult / black metal bands like Martyrium and Lazaard. Yet
another bunch of boring Darkthrone fanatics I thought when I was about to
listen to this disc but I was soon to realize how wrong I was. Sure, there are
plenty of cold Darkthrone traces on this album, especially the production,
some of the riffs and the vocals are very much done the Fenriz way but they
manage to do it well unlike so many other of these clones. This is the
atmosphere Mr. Nagell wanted to create with his cold, grim and harsh sound.
Secrets Of The Moon have brought back this majestic sound and I am very glad
that I got to hear this. There are also some Celtic Frost influences on this
disc that can hardly be ignored, both in the form of driving rhythms and some
mystical avantgarde sounds. While Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth
are on their major label flirting streak there are still some bands who stick
to the raw black metal that it all started out with and manage to pass on the
tradition very well. Secrets Of The Moon deserves some real attention,
especially if you are a fan of old Celtic Frost or Darkthrone. This is
good!
