Moor Reveals Debut Album "Heavy Heart" Details
Hamburg doom quintet Moor have unveiled their visceral new single / video "Tears From Acrid Smoke" and announced their cathartic debut album "Heavy Heart," set for release on 17th May via Believe Digital. You can check it out below.
Vocalist Ercüment Kasalar commented on "Tears From Acrid Smoke": "Our first single deals with the feeling of the inner fight that you face when you burn a bridge in your life. Crossing it, getting hit by the acrid smoke of the burning pain but leaving it behind and moving on."
The colossal sound of "Heavy Heart," Moor's first album, is created in a vulnerable place. Loud and scratchy, desolate and intimidating, full of despair and an intimate, almost overpowering sense of yearning. And slow, dragingly slow like the shuffling step of death. "I love to move in atmospheric walls of sound, to sink into them and become one with them," band founder Ercüment Kasalar explains his preference for doom. "I can't do that in fast music, it's just too hectic for my relaxed mindset."
"Heavy Heart" was written and recorded by the original line-up featuring singer and guitarist Kasalar, guitarists Ben Laging and David Kaiser, bassist Christian Smukal and drummer Chad Popple. All of them have earned their spurs in other bands or projects and have appeared with Tephra, Sport, The Ocean, Gorge Trio or rha. More...
