Playthrough: “Death Meditation” from Moose Cult!
Mastered by Dan Swanö (October Tide, Necrophobic, Omnium Gatherum) at Unisound in Germany, the sophomore album “Book of the Machines“ by Moose Cult will arrive on 6th September via Eat Lead and Die Music. Inspired by the novel “Erewhon” (Samuel Butler, 1872) which is one of the first examples to ponder machine intelligence and self-replication, it’s a Death Doom record with Traditional Heavy Metal vibes. Created by a collection of musicians known for their sins in Monsterworks, Thūn, Bull Elephant, Aviations, Gargoyl and Smokescreen who have shared a warts and all playthrough video for a second single titled “Death Meditation“. You know what comes next. Bandcamp.
The band comment: “In a series called “Limitless” with Chris Hemsworth, one of the episodes was about contemplating mortality. The final act was a session with a death doula and a simulated death meditation. This is what inspired the song lyrics. Deep.”
