Moonlight Sorcery is working relentless towards their goal: a full-length studio album. Following two acclaimed EPs released in 2022, the Finnish melodic black metal band is now completing the work on their first complete studio recording, Horned Lord of the Throned Castle, which will see the light in September 2023. Today we proudly present you the first taste of such opus: Burning Embrace, a 7’’ single containing a brand-new song, “In Coldest Embrace”, and Moonlight Sorcery’s own reinterpretation of Deep Purple’s classic “Burn”.
“In Coldest Embrace” composed by Loitsumestari Taikakallo, lyrics by Ruttomieli and arrangements by Moonlight Sorcery.
Session drums by Tommi ”Tomahawk” Tuhkala recorded in Wolfthrone Studios and produced by Owe Inborr.
Clean vocals on “Burn” by Loitsumestari Taikakallo, “Burn” originally by Deep Purple (written by Ritchie Blackmore, David Coverdale, Jon Lord, Ian Paice, and Glenn Hughes).

Mixed and mastered at Unisound by Dan Swanö.

By all means never sold / released individually, this CD-EP came included to "Supreme And Immortal Is The Art Of The Devil" 7" and features the first rehearsal of Silenius 'Verwüstung/Invoke The Dark Age' recorded in May 1994.

It’s about time to reveal all the faces of the night! Moonlight Sorcery will release their first full-length album entitled Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle on September 29th. Expect nothing but an ice cold blizzard that will conquer your castles, crumble your towers and withhold the daylight forever!

Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle is a perfect combination of the atmosphere from Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity and the rawness of Nightwind: The Conqueror from the Stars, the band’s two EPs released in 2022 and early 2023.

Moonlight Sorcery wants to raise the bar, and these new nine songs have even more melodic hooks and shreddy guitar work. Frozen synth walls further develop the Finnish trio’s unique sound, a vibe you cannot find in any other black metal record.

Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle follows a specific narrative, and its nine compositions tell a single tale, with every song starting where the previous one left off. “Basically, our debut could be a single 44-minute song”, the band said. Yet, the pleasure of learning such a tale is yours. Prepare, wanderer, to meet the Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle!

Mixed and mastered at Unisound by legendary producer and musician Dan Swanö
