On their seventh full-length "Black House", Secrets of the Moon offer us a re-invented version of their pristinely sinister rock music. Reunited with founding member Lars Plegge (Daevas), the Germans further explore the path taken on critically acclaimed predecessor "Sun" (ranked by opinion-forming German magazine Rock Hard among the key albums of the new millennium), serving nothing and no one, only their songs.
While the material on "Sun" seemed like relentless, emotional outbreaks exploring new worlds, "Black House" bursts with self-confidence and gets closer to the point with well-composed, catchy tunes of subtle movement, blackened grace and furious elegance. The result is a unique blend of styles one fails to pay full justice to with tags such as "goth rock" and "post punk" or references to Alice In Chains, Tiamat's "Wildhoney"-era and Fields Of The Nephilim.
The material was recorded in guitarist, engineer and producer Michael Zech's (Ar) own The Church of Sound studio over the course of almost one year. "While working on it, the studio turned more and more into the Black House," says the band, hinting at the intensity of the recordings. "We became obsessed, we became the house." During that time, the quartet welcomed guests as Jarboe as well as members from Empyrium, (Dolch), The Ruins Of Beverast, Dark Fortress and Enemy Of The Sun, who contributed to the individual vibes of all songs.
"Black House" is embedded into a strong and extensive visual concept, comprising both a sophisticated artwork (best displayed in the artbook edition) and video clips of each album track. The visuals pivot on nine artefacts - abstract references to the lyrics and the general feelings of the songs - which serve as a golden thread spun throughout and create a visceral world around, respectively within the Black House. Filmed, directed and designed by infamous French artists Metastazis (Led Zeppelin, Morbid Angel, Ulver) and Dehn Sora (Deathspell Omega, Amen Ra, Blut Aus Nord) within several months of constant work, "Black House" is a highly ambitious, compelling artistic synthesis.
"Everybody is welcome in the Black House, but the house rules apply," singer and guitarist Phil Jonas (sG) concludes. "Bring rubber boots; it's below sea-level, sometimes it gets wet inside …"
"Black House" is available as Digibook CD, gatefold LP (black and ltd. silver), artbook CD/DVD and ltd. complete box (incl. Artbook CD/DVD, LP on exclusive golden vinyl, "Live In Bitterfeld" exclusively on CD, a backpatch and two posters).

Never understood why this band never took off… chilling since 2005
Great sound. The drum production is stellar.
I love the chorus, so dark and gothic. Do you know any similar songs?
Lycia band did you know? The Eden House ...Fields of The Nephilim...Love like Blood...Last leaf down...
This new Goth sound really suits them. It gives them a much more unique identity and sounds new and fresh. I've been playing their last two albums and Godspeed by Crone on repeat for the last 8 months. Amazing stuff! Phil Jonas seems like a really interesting fella as well. :)
Very post-punk‐esque! 👍
Grande banda alemã...o gótico revisitado......
This dark, gothic sound suits them fine
No, no it does not.
it does, Gothic Crypt!
I understand why some bands go from black metal to a different sound , cause it really gets boring sometimes repeating the same style over and over again, u can still listen to black metal , do black metal and be different than anybody else , so then well u change your sound a bit which sometimes isn’t bad
right
....уникално....като картина е тази музика.....рисува необятните полета през които ние бродим с халюцинации предизвикани от страстта към ОНЗИ свят.Свят на сенки и повици за устрем в миналото на.....спокойното бъдеще...Казвам се огън,наречи ме пламък....направи ме жерава....Жерава и разпиляна пепел.....Дали съм феникс,едва ли....Просто съм Човек...дух прогонен-НАМЕРЕН....осквернен от живота,прегърнал мракът....Там в пещерата на познанието....в дълбините на съзнанието.......Ярост...и СВОБОДА....нечут,невидим.....Бесен...тъкмо мъртъв и отново жив...
Спасибо
Excellent!!!
thanks!
most inspiring songs of 2020 along with Gum's Out in the World and some of new Katatonia.
thank you
This a great song. I wish they left the Secrets of the Moon black metal legacy intact though. If they are confident in their new direction, as they should be because this is very good, they should have shanged name of the band.
La banda que ha captado la esencia del Thelema mas increible. Siempre me sorprenden en cada proyecto!!.
How they travel from savage Black metal to this amazing and soul touching gothic doom metal 🖤🎩🔥🎶🎵🥂💜?!!
FantasticO !!
gracias!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thanks, Eleni!
Good song! Comes a bit closer to the darker sound of SUN which I like.
nice you like it.
Google said this band is in Black metal genre. Is google a liar? 🤔 Sounds more like gothic genre, but I still like the atmosphere very much.
Yes, Secrets of the Moon used to make black metal. Unfortunately these times are over
Well, they used to be the phalanx of German Black Metal. Now, they're elevator music at best.
bullshit.
@@prophecyBC that's very.... extensive answer 😏 I said I like it despite that I picture BM music differently, the years of true Norwegian madness simply took its toll.
Among the three singles released at moment, this is the best!
how do you like the album now?
Wonderful Transformation!!!
What is wonderful about a band transforming from gold to faeces?
that might be your opinion "God Emperor", and it's a minority opinion. Tastes differ. People develop.
Similar thing happend with music of Voices band in 2018.
good comparison.
good song that has caught my memory repeatedly in the past half week. only complaint is that the track is EQ'd in a strange, sort of muffled way. in other words, the guitars and vocals feel like they need to be pushed up with more high mids and high frequencies --I think. otherwise, lovely track with a dark rock/Type O Negative feel. I like the drummer's beat here.
thanks, well observed !
Uau
you re welcome
What the hell happened with Secret of the moon????
Apparently, these dumb em and effers thought they'd become rich and famous for selling out. Rest in Peace, Secrets of the Moon...
Bull-shit!
Nice but definitely this is not a secret of the moon...is a hide of the secret of the moon...
if you think so ...
@@prophecyBC if bands stuck to the same style every single album it would be a very monotonous world we live in ,if I was a artist playing the same style for album after album would send me nuts and make me fall out of love with what I was doing ,I understand fans want more of the same but you have to admit it does get boring after a while ,there artists at the end of the day I say let them create there art for us all to enjoy and enjoy the journey with them see where it takes us, I'm a dj and I used to play the same style for years ( still is my main genre) but I had to experiment with different styles eventually as I was falling out if love with what I enjoy in life the most, playing music to make people happy so change is good and you can always go back and play the classics if u dont like what's out currently then see what they create next ,well that's my little view lol but anyway I'm loving the new style thanks guys take care x
Takes me back to 1990 and Kitchens of Distinction.
you are welcome
Sounds like happier version of Tiamat .....
not really happy?
The vocals fuck everything up... The music is... okay, but the vocals. No, thanks. They actually managed to get worse after every album since their "Antithesis"-masterpiece.
No thanks...
yes, yes
How embarrassing is that? This is like an Oasis music video in black and white. Shame on everyone involved.
Not quite as embarrassing as your ridiculous comment. I suppose you were quite happy listening to sub standard Emperor clones.
Thank you, Pud.
