Floridian alt-metal band Moodring will be releasing their new album “Stargazer” on June 10th through UNFD. Vocalist Hunter Young commented of it:
“We were excited to explore deeper themes and different aspects of our band throughout the full length. The album dives into our pool of influences unabashedly but resurfaces as its own entity. Each song was written with personal meaning and multiple themes, whilst remaining ambiguous and open enough for listeners to relate in their own way.”
Young co-produced the album at his home studio The Swamp Sound alongside collaborator Austin Coupe. Notable among the group’s lineup is Attila bassist Kalan Blehm. A music video for the album’s current single “SYNC.wav” has been made available online in advance and can be viewed below.
Speaking of that track, Young offered:
“The intention of ‘SYNC.wav‘ was to create something that was blatantly erotic but expressed through one of the more crushing and heavy sides of the album. It describes the moment you start falling for someone or something, the intoxicating romantic aura of it all. But on the flipside, it also addresses a human tendency to drown in that very same romance.
It’s about losing yourself completely, for better and worse. The title itself highlights that inherent ambiguity, with opposing meanings stemming from the one word that is repeated throughout — to ‘sink’ or to ‘sync.’ Despite the overt sexual references on the surface, at its core the lyrics tackle two different things that all too often collide with each other: romance and addiction. Addicted to love, addicted to sex, addicted to the moment.”
The band will be opening Cane Hill‘s ‘The Krewe Du Sang Tour‘ this spring, which will also feature Afterlife and VCTMS on the bill.
