LIVERPOOL WITH ZOMBINA AND THE SKELETONES - GIG REVIEW

"Harriet Hyde extends her arms to reveal a cape which envelopes her tiny frame and introduces her band Black Moth.

Hailing from Leeds, Black Moth spawned from the remnants of The Bacchae. They’ve ditched the Hammond organ from their live line-up and reformed into a heavier, driving dark rock machine.

Black Moth are a law unto themselves. They fuse dark strains of punk, Sabbath-esque lead guitar and hooks so sharp, you could hang a corpse on them. They are intensely watchable, impassioned and boast songs with massive amounts of infectious energy. Their single The Articulate Dead, bolstered by worthy B-side Blind Faith is out now. There just aren’t enough superlatives. It’s an emphatic debut."

Reviews:

JUMBO RECORDS: 

Black Moth - The Articulate Dead
Like a sinister spunge soaking up the dark fluids of Danzig, The Birthday Party, Eighties Matchbox, Black Wire and the Doors and smearing it all over your face...This is great stuff...Twisted, Distorted stuff but brilliant all the same. Sultry, moody vocals layered on top of hooky, powering riffage with swirling haunted house organ...What more could you want?!

THE ARTICULATE DEAD - SINGLE LAUNCH PARTY WITH VILE IMBECILES



BY BIANCA NOIR

LAMENT FOR THE MOTHS - TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

A plague has stricken the moths, the moths are dying,
thier bodies are flakes of bronze on the carpet lying.
Enemies of the delicate everywhere
have breathed a pestilent mist into the air.


Lament for the velvety moths, for the moths were lovely.
Often their tender thoughts, for they thought of me,
eased the neurotic ills that haunt the day.
Now an invisible evil takes them away.


I move through the shadowy rooms, I cannot be still,
I must find where the treacherous killer is concealed.
Feverishly I search and still they fall
as fragile as ashes broken against a wall.


Now that the plague has taken the moths away,
who will be cooler than curtains against the day,
who will come early and softly to ease my lot
as I move through the shadowy rooms with a troubled heart?


Give them, O mother of moths and mother of men,
strength to enter the heavy world again,
for delicate were the moths and badly wanted
here in a world by mammoth figures haunted!
