Høstsabbat 2023 Adds Moonstone to Lineup
With the May release of their latest full-length, Growth (review here), fresh in mind, Poland’s Moonstone are the latest addition to the lineup for this October’s 10th anniversary Høstsabbat. They arrive preceded by the tightening of songcraft that Growth showcased, living up to its name in terms of progression, and ostensibly take the slot vacated as a result of Chicago psych drifters REZN calling off their Fall tour in Europe. Rest assured, the Kraków-based outfit will have space and heft to spare as they make what will no doubt be a bold attempt to flatten that old church, the Kulturkirken Jakob, which houses the festival’s main stage.
I’m doing my best to be stoic in coping with missing Høstsabbat this year owing to familial obligation — kid’s turning six that weekend — and the addition of Moonstone, whom I’ve never seen and will likely have very few if any other opportunities to ever see, isn’t helping the emergent wistfulness. So it goes. Maybe I’ll play in the bounce house at the birthday party.

HØSTSABBAT 2023 – Moonstone
Høstsabbat is getting closer by the day, and as you can see – we are eager to present the last batch of bands to all of you. We have had a killer tradition with Polish bands on our lineup over the last years, and we are sticking to our guns, also on our anniversary.
Moonstone might be another hidden treasure to many of you. Emerging from the ever-prolific Polish stoner-doom scene, they are slowly paving their to our hazy consciousness. This fall they were set to support REZN all around Europe, and that gig itself is living proof of the sheer talent lying within Moonstone. But as REZN cancelled their whole tour last minute, the chance to have Moonstone on our lineup arose. It was a chance not to be missed.
They play highly meditative, heavy AF, almost classic stonerdoom. They push all the right buttons. Massive low-end, chanting vocals and of course: Excellent riffs. They got the whole package, and will give you goosebumps. Promise!
Please welcome Moonstone to Høstsabbat 2023(#128165#)
