Mo'ynoq are a band form Raleigh, North Carolina that has been featured before in this zine and plays a very atmospheric form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2022 album "A Place For Ash" which will b e released in September.
High pitched black metal screams start off the album before going into a very fast and r aw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Deep growls can also be heard in some parts of the recording and all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the music also having its atmospheric moments, at times the riffs also get very dissonant sounding and acoustic guitars can also be heard on the closing track.
On this recording Mo'ynoq goes into more of an atmospheric and dissonant direction which is also more aggressive sounding than their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover depression, despair and loss themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Mo'ynoq and if you are a fan of atmospheric and dissonant black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Penance" and "The Beast That Mourned At The Heart of The Master". 8 out of 10.
