black moon cult hufr fest

Heavy psych rocking upstarts Black Moon Cult — photographed above at HUFR Fest in Denver like a week and a half ago, where by every account that I saw they kicked ass — will head back out from their hometown of Toledo, Ohio, for a quick run of Midwestern shows supporting Hashtronaut. It’s four shows, so like a long weekender, except that it’s a Tuesday through a Friday. Maybe call it a stoner’s weekender.

It bears mentioning as well that Black Moon Cult will also appear at Cosmic Sonic Rendezvous, which Tee Pee Records is putting on in New York City in May. More on that is here.

The PR wire sent word of the June dates:

Black Moon Cult Announce Spring Tour

Posted in Whathaveyou on February 12th, 2026 by JJ Koczan

Ohio’s Black Moon Cult are set to play Midwest Doom Coalition Fest and HUFR Fest this April 18 and 26, respectively, and with what one assumes is the significant drive from Lawrence, Kansas, to Costa Mesa, California — 22 hours, almost all of it on I-70 — as a central feature, the now-trio are set to support their 2025 debut album, Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig) (review here), by making a tour of it. You might recall they were out on the West Coast in Septemeber as well for the release of the record, but though they hit Phoenix and Denver on that run, obviously HUFR Fesbeing in Denver changes the context there. And I guess Phoenix just rules, so fair enough.

The PR wire brought the poster and dates:

Album Review: Black Moon Cult, Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig)

Posted in Reviews on November 6th, 2025 by JJ Koczan

BLACK MOON CULT OPHIDIAN FUTURE THE CHILDREN OF YIG

The story of Black Moon Cult‘s debut album, Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig), is one of forward potential. There’s no getting away from it. Then the trio of guitarist/vocalist/synthesist Kaleb M. Riser, bassist/vocalist/keyboardist Kevin Lewis and drummer/vocalist Jeff Vandebussche — since expanded to a four-piece with synthesist/thereminist/vocalist Logan Mais — the band built buzz over the last year-plus with eeked-out singles and teaser-of-things-to-come touring, introducing themselves to listeners in-person as well as in the more ethereal digital sphere.

Self-produced with recording by S. Daley at The Mohawk Studio and a mix and master by Tony Reed (Mos Generator, etc.) at HeavyHead, the six-track/38-minute offering canonizes “Supernova” and “Stoned Ape” while bringing their audience into a broader narrative world; with respect, I’ll just cut and paste the quote from Riser on their Bandcamp: “Ophidian Future is thematically influenced by Lovecraftian cosmic horror, ancient Chinese mythology, and the biblical story of the Garden of Eden, where God takes away the serpent’s limbs and casts him out of paradise. All of this comes together to create the story of a serpent/reptilian race/their desire to ‘take back the garden’.” Fair enough. But the story of the album is still the band’s potential.

Part of it is that the songs are so gosh darn encompassing. Each of the two intended sides ends with an eight-plus-minute capper — “Ophidian Future” (8:06) and “Stoned Ape” (8:42), respectively — and even after “Moonchild Ritual” and “Supernova” at the outset, the scope of “Ophidian Future” puts decades of influences together in a span that accounts for Om and Death in vocal cadence alone with riffs that mine High on Fire-y intensity from groove wrought in the spirit of The Sword and Fu Manchu, yes in just that one song. “Stoned Ape” calls out to early ’90s Sleep on the way to drawing a line between Hawkwind and trad-thrash, resolving in a swirling Iron Maiden-style solo making way for the last hook, but is in no way out of place with “Ophidian Future” or the penultimate “At the Mountains of Madness” which brings a sludgy crunch to a chorus somewhere between melodic and shouting, metal at its root but bigger in tone and nod.

It’s one of several moments which, on its own and out of the context of Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig) as a whole, might seem representative of the course of Black Moon Cult, but again, that’s where the potential of the band is the real story of the record, because you could say the same thing about the keyboardy meditative prog and doomgaze tonal wash of “Sunfish,” with a screamo build in its midsection because why not, or the forward shove and crash, twist, boogie and bombast that start the record in “Moonchild Ritual.” ‘Black Moon Cult‘s style’ becomes a more complex notion as each successive track adds to the reach of the entirety.

black moon cult

Psychedelic progressive stoner metal? Maybe. Cosmic prog and heavy rock? Yeah, that’s part of it, too, I guess. Being tough to pin down suits the songwriting of Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig), which is both genre-aware and more concerned with telling its story than residing in one section of the umbrella or another at any given point, and no doubt the malleability that lets them shift from the push of “Supernova” into the more stately psychedelic flow in the initial buildup of “Ophidian Future,” will continue to serve them well as they move on from here. Likewise the nastier bite of the shouts/screams on “Moonchild Ritual,” offsetting the space-rock shuffle before (and after) the break-to-keyboard.

At their most fervent and fuzzed, as on the lead track, Black Moon Cult might remind of Nebula‘s semi-controlled chaos in terms of tone and production, but the leads of “Supernova” are plotted in such a way as to lock step with the keys later on, and are plotted in their movement rather than solo lines thrown overtop. This sense of balance is rare for a debut, but speaks to the self-awareness in Black Moon Cult‘s take. They don’t sound like a band of indie rockers who just happened to click on their fuzz pedals and ‘oops what’s stoner rock.’ They know of what they riff, and part of what Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig) does well is speak to genre and specifically the more open-minded end of a heavy underground listenership that’s hungry for fresh ideas building on familiar elements.

That that’s so much of what happens across Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig), well, it sure speaks to the potential of the band, huh? Coherence of sound, style and form are rare enough for a young act the first time out, but there is still a sense of Black Moon Cult feeling their way through a process of discovering who they are. Part of that is evident in the skate-rock-meets-ChuckSchuldiner-style-prog of “Ophidian Future,” but the album is more multifaceted than a phrase like “modern stoner melting pot” would want to convey, never mind the significant personality aspect in the material with Riser and Lewis sharing vocals, and double-never-mind the doomed atmosphere of “Sunfish” amid all that ’90s chug.

That their aesthetic isn’t a settled issue — that they came into this LP with a strong idea of what they wanted these songs to be but fewer expectations of who they are in terms of approach — becomes a strength of this material, and while it’s true that the patterns they’re setting forth across “Ophidian Future” and “At the Mountains of Madness” could and otherwise might be maintained and developed across the years to come, it’s also possible that everything they do from now on will be a response to how much they hated this album’s sound. You never really know until you get there. Which — wait for it — is how the story of Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig) becomes about how much potential there is in Black Moon Cult, and how clearly one can hear the ambition driving their work already coming to fruition in it. A sure bet for inclusion among 2025’s best debut albums.

Black Moon Cult Post “Stoned Ape” Video

Posted in Bootleg Theater on July 25th, 2025 by JJ Koczan

black moon cult

Psychedelic sludge rockers Black Moon Cult have a video up for “Stoned Ape,” the first single taken from their upcoming debut album, Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig), which is out Sept. 4 on Black Doomba Records. The song, the West Coast tour dates, the release date — none of that is new information if you’ve been keeping up, but the clip is, and it’s a fun one, so here we are.

I haven’t heard this record yet, but the Toledo, Ohio-based outfit continue to intrigue as they move closer to the release. Aesthetically, you wouldn’t call “Stoned Ape” a revolution in concept or execution, but the communion with genre is brought to bear with perspective and an individual lean. Spliced in among performance footage is a narrative of a Bigfoot trying to get to the show, and there’s a disco mushroom, and good times ensue. Right now, looking for anything more than that seems like overkill.

Obviously, charm is part of the appeal here, but that’s a classic element as well. The band have already done the East Coast for shows, so the West Coast tour could possibly be it for the year, though they wouldn’t be out of line to do a string of specifically Midwestern dates either, considering that’s where they’re located. I guess the bottom line for me is it feels good to look forward to a first album from a new band, and whether the thing turns out to be a landmark or not, in wretched and horrifying times, seeing positivity in anything in the near or far future is not something to take for granted. It ain’t stopping genocide abroad or enacting regime change at home, but a nine-minute escape from 2025 is welcome, as is the reminder that not everything is terrible. Don’t fret, reality will still be there when it’s over.

In a spirit of optimism, then, please enjoy:

Black Moon Cult Post New Single “Stoned Ape” From Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig)

Posted in Whathaveyou on July 15th, 2025 by JJ Koczan

With eight-plus sprawling, dug in minutes of heavy psychedelic rocking, “Stoned Ape” bodes remarkably well for Black Moon Cult‘s impending debut album, Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig), which is out Sept. 4 through Black Doomba Records. Preorders aren’t open yet, I assume because scheduling, but the anticipation around this first Black Moon Cult offering is high, and the band have already set out on tour to herald its arrival and, by extension, their own on the US heavy underground circuit.

“Stoned Ape” makes a convincing argument for why you should be looking forward to the record to come, and it’s on Bandcamp, so you’ll find the embed at the bottom of this post. You may recall, previously, the only way to listen was on Spotify, which remains awful as a practical listening option in addition to supporting the insane right wing fascist military industrial complex. This announcement follows up on the album announce last week, and keep an eye for more as I’ll hope to have a review up for this one before it’s out.

Until then, then:

BLACK MOON CULT UNLEASH NEW SINGLE “STONED APE” — A MIND-MELTING HEAVY PSYCH DESCENT INTO COSMIC CHAOS

🔥 New Album Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig) Out September 4, 2025 via Black Doomba Records | Bandcamp Pre-Sale Begins August 15th 🔥

Listen Now: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/blackmooncult1/stoned-ape

Bandcamp: https://blackmooncult3.bandcamp.com/album/stoned-ape

Toledo, OH – Prepare for a thunderous plunge into the primordial mind as Black Moon Cult release their latest single “Stoned Ape” , now streaming worldwide on all major platforms.

This heavy psychedelic anthem rips open the doors of perception with its fuzz-drenched riffs, trance-like grooves, and searing cosmic energy. Inspired by the controversial Stoned Ape Theory —the idea that psychedelic mushrooms accelerated early human consciousness— “Stoned Ape” soundtracks an evolutionary mind trip through rhythmic chaos and cosmic revelation.

“Stoned Ape” is about that spark—the moment our ancestors stepped outside the food chain and into abstract thought. It’s not just about evolution, it’s about awakening,” says frontman Kaleb Riser .

Black Moon Cult fuse elements of doom, heavy psych, prog, and desert rock , delivering a signature sound steeped in the lineage of Black Sabbath , Captain Beyond , Nebula , and Hawkwind , yet visionary in scope and scale.

The single offers a preview of the band’s debut full-length album , Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig) , arriving September 4, 2025 via Black Doomba Records , with an exclusive Bandcamp pre-sale launching August 15, 2025 .

The album—an epic tale woven with Lovecraftian cosmic horror, ancient myth, and biblical revenge—promises to be a hallucinogenic journey for fans of The Sword , Mos Generator , and early Pink Floyd .

Produced by Black Moon Cult , recorded at The Mohawk Studio by S. Daley , and mixed/mastered by Tony Reed (Saint Vitus, Mos Generator), the album delivers an immersive sonic landscape of massive riffs and swirling atmospheres.

Since forming in 2021, the band— Kaleb Riser (vocals, guitars, synth), Kevin Lewis (bass, synth), Jeff Vandebussche (drums), and Logan Mais (synth, theremin)—has built a powerful live reputation, including a standout performance at Maryland Doom Fest 2024 , and shared stages with The Obsessed , Today is the Day , and The Atomic Bitchwax .

Black Moon Cult’s “Stoned Ape” is out now. Plug in and let the evolution begin.

Black Moon Cult Announce Debut Album Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig)

Posted in Whathaveyou on July 8th, 2025 by JJ Koczan

Following up on their West Coast tour announcement a couple weeks back, Ohio-based heavy rock upstarts Black Moon Cult have unveiled the cover art for their impending first record, to be released in the coming months (i.e., no exact date listed yet) through Black Doomba Records. Preorders start next month for what I’m assuming is a September release, which would be loosely timed with the tour, and one assumes the band would have copies on the road to sell, and so on.

The cover art is by Mike Stuart of Thunderbird Divine, and below you’ll find that along with the announcement of the album from Black Doomba, as posted on socials. Looking forward to this one:

BLACK MOON CULT OPHIDIAN FUTURE THE CHILDREN OF YIG

BLACK MOON CULT – OPHIDIAN FUTURE (THE CHILDREN OF YIG) – ART AND TITLE REVEAL!

Black Moon Cult’s debut album is entitled “Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig)” 🐍🐍🐍🐍

Kaleb Riser speaks of the album: “Ophidian Future is thematically influenced by Lovecraftian cosmic horror, ancient Chinese mythology, and the biblical story of the Garden of Eden, where God takes away the serpent’s limbs and casts him out of paradise. All of this comes together to create the story of a serpent/reptilian race/their desire to “take back the garden”

Some lyrics convey these themes: “Leave me my teeth and my tongue and my neck, the rest I will steal in time,” “Ophidian Future, Serpentine masses align, back to the garden, back to the life that was mine.”

READ ON about the art 👇

The cover art is by Mike Stuart, drummer of Thunderbird Divine, and here is Mike with a few words to explain it 🤘 “I can’t express how awesome it has been to work with the dudes in Black Moon Cult. They had a clear vision of what they wanted, yet gave me space to put my own flavor on things. Having mostly done work for my own bands, most recently Thunderbird Divine on Black Doomba Records, it was nice to step out of my comfort zone and I really appreciate them giving me a chance to be a part of their journey.”

At Black Doomba Records we feel the same, proud to be able to put out this special album by these extraordinary musicians.

Wondering what’s next? Continue following this band’s journey here. By the way, the Pre-Sale begins in August. More about that later, and more to come from Black Moon Cult.

Black Moon Cult Announce West Coast Tour

Posted in Whathaveyou on June 24th, 2025 by JJ Koczan

Secondary to the tour announcement here for emergent Ohio rockers Black Moon Cult, one notices a shuffle in their lineup that’s brought Jeff Vandebussche to the group on drums and vocals, as well as Logan Mais on theremin, synth and vocals, making them a four-piece for the first time. Guitarist/vocalist Kaleb Riser and bassist/vocalist Kevin Lewis also handle synth, so I’m not sure if the change signals some greater shift in sound from what they’ve put out to-date (their two singles are on Spotify below) or just being able to better embody the music live, but clearly they’re figuring things out on the road, and that’s the way to do it.

The September tour is mostly California dates, but it’s their first time on the West Coast (they hit parts of the Eastern Seaboard this month; I still had them as a trio for it but now am less certain about that), so happy and safe travels in the going.

Dates came down the PR wire:
