Early Moods Announce West Coast Tour with Magick Potion
It hasn’t been that long since Early Moods were last out on the Pacific Coast supporting their 2024 album, A Sinner’s Past (review here), but by the time April comes around, November will have been an eternity ago. The doomly upstarts have begun the shift from opening to headlining, and if their trajectory holds, it would make sense to see them in the years to come with more tours like this one, a quick 10-date regional jaunt supported by an upstart band on their label, RidingEasy Records. The Fall tour, I’ll note, was co-headlining with Castle Rat, and it’s Maryland’s boogie-prone heavy classic rockers Magick Potion playing first on this run, so Early Moods continue to keep good company and find ways to hold onto the momentum they’ve been riding for at least the last three years since they started touring.
Europe in 2025? Almost certainly, as Early Moods have already been confirmed for Freak Valley Festival in Germany this June and will likely have dates around that. Their sound, familiar in its doomly pastiche but energetic and modern in presentation, speaks directly to the doomly converted but has the power to reach across metallic subgenres as well. This has let them become one of the underground’s most hopeful prospects, and if they keep going the way they are, they might elbow their way to the forefront of an up and coming generation of doom that’s barely starting to take shape in their wake. I’d love to find this post again in five years and see what I think. I’ll set a reminder in my phone.
