Bloodmoon West Coast Tour Starts Friday
Comprised of three extended tracks arranged longest to shortest, Bloodmoon‘s 2013 outing, Voidbound, was as progressive as it was extreme. On a dime, the San Luis Obispo trio might cut from raging blackened sludge on the title-track to ambient drones and airy post-rock, then roll out scream-topped doom building toward a vibrant neo-prog run en route to crushing metal heft. Granted, you’ve got plenty of time to do that when you’re working with a 17-minute song, but still, few bands put that kind of time to such varied use and still manage to come out of it with anything resembling the kind of cohesion Bloodmoon presented on Voidbound. They’ll head out on tour this weekend, starting in Eureka, CA, and heading north before making their way back down, and I wouldn’t know from personal experience, but these guys seem like they put on a hell of a show.

BLOODMOON West Coast Takedown Starts This Week
San Luis Obispo, California’s blackened sludge outfit BLOODMOON is setting out on a West Coast jaunt that begins this Friday, October 3 in Eureka, California.
Gazing into the Void with combined effort since 2010, BLOODMOON have been exploring the musical elements of Sludge, Doom, Stoner, Black and Death Metal with heavy doses of Psychedelia to give themselves a highly distinctive sound of their own. Over the past 2 years, the band has released 2 albums, embarked upon two tours, and played countless shows all over California at any given point in between. Between shows, they are continually writing with the self-imparted directive of releasing new music every year while always experimenting with different ways to bring the heavy in their own way.
