Mount Saturn Set March 18 Release for O, Great Moon
Bellingham, Washington’s Mount Saturn have announced they’ll make their full-length debut on March 18. The record in question is titled O, Great Moon — including the comma, which I appreciate — and the cover art has been newly posted by the band. You can see quickly why they might be stoked on it. Ditto their logo.
Last I heard, they were waiting on getting the masters back, which was last week, so it may well be that the album is finished by now, and if so, hey, right on. Either way, this is one I’ve been looking forward to since the band made an encouraging first offering with 2019’s Kiss the Ring (discussed here), so you’ll pardon me if I take a minute to be likewise excited at the prospect.
Part of the conversation last week was sorting out premiere(s) coverage for the record, so stay tuned for that. I’ll get on sorting out a day and all that stuff and keep you posted accordingly.
For now:
We’re proud to announce that our debut album “O, Great Moon” will be self released on March 18th, a full moon Friday!
Here’s our beautiful cover, a reworking of a painting called “Famine” by John Charles Dollman, done by CLAYSHAPER with logo by Pencilmancer:!
A lot has changed since our EP and we’re excited to show you how we’ve evolved and grown. Pulling from such influences as Pallbearer, Holy Grove, and Windhand, “O, Great Moon” is bigger, sadder, and heavier than we’ve ever been before.
Our story follows a grieving soul on a journey through the valley of despair and isolation, one fraught with hyper vigilance, bargaining, and ultimately, revenge.
Although we are choosing to not press vinyl right away, know it is absolutely our goal, and we hope to offer a limited run by the year’s end. A hometown release show will be announced next week, so don’t miss it! Your support means everything to us, we can’t wait to share this with you!
