Long Island heavy metallers Moth Eater would like it to be known they’ve signed to Giddy Up! Records, which just happens to be the label helmed by bassist/all-around-good-dude Steve “Buckshot” Seabury. But here’s the thing. It’s not like Giddy Up! is just some dick-around label name made so the band could release their own stuff. He’s got real bands and very real distribution, so I’m sure the decision to add Moth Eater to the roster was not made lightly.

Here’s the news off PR wire:

Moth Eater, the Beers Village, New York-based doom/metal band featuring guitarist John Conley of Scar Culture, Dave Ardolina and Steve “Buckshot” Seabury of Dirty Rig, and vocalist John Alaia, have just signed a deal with start-up metal label Giddy Up! Records. Giddy Up! Records will release the band’s debut mini-record, The Thunder God of Monster Island on July 27. The band’s music was produced, recorded and mixed at Gain Studios in New York City.

Moth Eater have posted the new track “Aftermath” on their MySpace page. The track features world renowned Hurdy Gurdy player and composer Geoff Kooris who adds to the band’s already intense sound. “When I listen to our music, I get the sudden urge to smash someone’s face in with a shovel. Then I become grief stricken and sob uncontrollably for a few hours, drink a beer, then I repeat the process.” states John Alaia about the band’s music and upcoming release.

The band will perform and host The Thunder God of Monster Island release party in New York City starting at 9PM on August 6th at Ace of Clubs.
