Secrets Of The Moon's much-anticipated seventh studio album "Black House" - out on May 8th, 2020!
Silver vinyl
Release date: December 4th
CD Digibook
Secrets Of The Moon have named their sixth album after it, since it stems from the immediate experience of becoming and perishing, of ending and starting anew - not only in the musicians' private sphere but also within the band itself.
In the wake of existential experiences, the new line-up created the band's boldest and most intense album to date. On "Sun", Black Metal is less of a dogma but intuitively transferred into a context of universally dark music, expressing the artists' spiritual catharsis and growth without restrictions.
Boxset incl. alternative cover, 80-page hardcover book with additional artwork and liner notes, album CD in a sleeve, bonus DVD with "Nyx" videoclip, and pendant on a rosary; limited to 1.000 copies.
A snake unwinds, coils rasp, its forked tongue hissing between venomous fangs. SECRETS OF THE MOON deliver their masterpiece with "Seven Bells". The initiated, who have followed these Northern Germans since their founding in the year 1995 have witnessed an inexorable rise beginning with "Stronghold Of The Inviolables" (2002). With each following album from "Carved In Stigmata Wounds" (2004), "Antithesis" (2006) to Privilegivm (2009) more critical laurels were heaped upon SECRETS OF THE MOON, who remained firmly rooted in the underground despite performing at prestigious festivals. Now "Seven Bells" sees the band taking another huge step by imprinting their characteristic live sound onto this dark tome with the invaluable aid of Tom G. Warrior (Celtic Frost, Triptykon) as co-producer. Carefully chosen guest appearances by Schwadorf (The Vision Bleak, Empyrium), Kvohst (DHG, Code, Hexvessel) and Morten Gass (Bohren & der Club of Gore) complete this stunning work. This is the soundtrack of Lucifer rising...
Secrets Of The Moon's EP "The Ambience Of A Dead Star" was released on vinyl for the first time in 2010.

Digipack edition,
With their powerful release "Antithesis", Secrets Of The Moon have multiplied all their strengths. "This album", explains singer and guitarist sGolden correctly, "indeed offers something totally different. Music-wise, these are the most intense and tight tracks we've ever created. Spiritual darkness paired with a very progressive approach. The content of the songs is very direct, sometimes even perversely assaulting and desperate."
Obscure and old style black metal, influenced by early Samael and Mayhem
