about

"Resurgence" is Father Moon's follow up to 2023's "FM". It is a departure from their signature power doom sound that had evolved since 2019. Following a line up change that saw Vocalist William Grant exit the band, Father Moon transitioned into an instrumental power trio.

With an inability to play any of the old vocal material Father Moon's remaining members started to craft all new instrumental tunes. This departure from power doom turned into what they called post-doom (a post-rock doom metal hybrid). Explosions in the sky meets Monolord.

These songs were crafted by 3 musicians in a room, playing together and exploring a sonic landscape. Each member shifting and acting on their own but with a greater framework in mind. Each song being the product of extended jams that slowly honed every idea into a concise form.

To record these songs Father Moon's members attempted a new way of recording they had not yet tried. Recorded over 3 days in one room, live off the floor, often in a single take, with no click track. The product becomes the best possible representation of Father Moon's live sound. These songs are not perfect, they are not meant to be. They are loose and unconfined, and they flow.

Resurgence as a title appears to convey a return to form, as if we as a group lost our way and have wandered back. In fact, this album has been a reinvention, and a reawakening. Whenever a member leaves, especially a singer, it changes the dynamic and direction of a band, and there is always the instinct to try and reconnect with the magic of the past; a hope of "what if we can do that again!" Instead, we learned to appreciate what we are and always have been. Bass, Drums, guitar, and a room to make some noise. So please enjoy this sonic journey with us.

If you love clean vocals in Doom Metal check out fellow Canadian act Hag - who hail from the far east land of Newfoundland. Hard hitting, often beautiful, and always worth a listen. Father Moon

Negative Space

With influences like Sabbath, Kyuss, Sleep and Windhand, I expected a generic but solid album. Ah, but they didn’t tell us what parts of those bands they meant. Gravity Well under-promised and seriously over-delivered with an album of space-aged Doom that’s closer in spirit to Acid King than any band I’ve heard. AOTY contender without a doubt. Scott Spiers

Gritty and with attitude is exactly how i would describe this release.The first two songs pulled me in then the rest of the of the record swallowed me up. Very powerful and it tells a scary story about the human race. lloydd
