Moon Wisdom are a band from Italy that plays a very raw and old school form of black metal with elements of punk and depressive blackgaze and this is a review of their album "Let Water Flow" which will be released in 2026 by Hypnotic Dirge Records.
Synths and clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also mixing the second wave style with the more modern depressive blackgaze era of the genre, growls are also utilized at times as well as the recoding also adding in elements of punk, stringed instruments are also added towards the end
Moon Wisdom plays a musical style that takes the aggression of t he second wave era and mixes it with the more modern depressive blackgaze style and a touch of punk rock to create something original. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover darkness and melancholy themes.
In my opinion Moon Wisdom are a very great sounding mixture of old school black metal, depressive blackgaze and punk and if you are a fan of t hose musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "As Rain" and "Dark Shades". 8 out of 10.
