Moon Destroys, the duo comprised of Juan Montoya (Killer Be Killed, ex-Torche) and Evan Diprima (Brother Hawk, ex-Royal Thunder), have issued an early demo collection which was tracked under the project’s initial moniker of Stallone back in 2009. You can find that as a pay-what-you-want download over at Bandcamp. Montoya commented:
“In this time of seemingly widespread forlorn hope, we are releasing this music as a love letter for those struggling to bear with the solitude and frustration. All of us musicians are feeling an emptiness right now.. Being away from our close friends and bandmates is making us a bit mental. We needed something to temporarily distract us from stress and show you how ridiculous we can be while we’re alone.”
Diprima added:
“Filming the video was the most fun I’ve had in social isolation thus far and represents cabin fever at its finest. We are excited for you to see the slow decline of my mental state. Carole Baskin killed her husband.
These demos are raw and have no boundaries. This collection is the first installment of what would become Moon Destroys many years later and are some of my favorite recordings of all time.”
To complement the collection, the band have also released a video for the track “Wondrous Beast“, which was filmed amid the ongoing COVID-19 quarantine.
