THE CRONE

by MoE

supported by

Darknight The mighty MoE are back with there avant-garde sludge just to fry our tiny minds and wreck our audio senses with plenty of experimental noise rock that only seems to come from Oslo. The Crone happens to be the masterpiece I believed it could be, crazed lunatic ambience of feeling like your losing the plot, so unhinged is exactly why I love this band. A much deserved welcome return. Favorite track: The Crone.

My cold war time will steal us from ourselves time will steal us from ourselves restrain sane stranger open up doors to try to open winter wave it was all as time was before because once the time will steal us time will steal us from our selves is healing try forbidding vein vain all too soon to save my heart is open vain vein paper against my finger I was lucky to see them part which I would steal if I open the door winter came as it all once was because time will steal us from ourselves I have collected and emptied I have measured and restored I empty my pocket begging all what claims to be yours I empty my pockets I have measured and restored I measure my cold war will steal you part which I will steal if I opened the door I measure my cold war all too soon to save all what claims to be yours because once the time will steal us from ourselves I have opened and reentered I reenter the world if I open remember water and the wind seals my time remember time will steal us from ourselves still they will cry someone smashed my window remember water and the wind seals my time remember water and the wind seals my time

about

Hailing from the outskirts of Oslo, the prolific avant-garde machinery that is MoE have for years toured the corners of the world continuously with their uncompromising take on noise infused experimental sludge.

Those who have witnessed them as either a two piece, a three piece, as theater composers or as Årabrot’s backing band, know that MoE surpasses all expectations, leaving their audiences completely overthrown.

MoE’s next full length titled The Crone is set for release March 11th, 2022 on Vinter Records and is their by far most ambitious album to date. The riffs never let go, while the haunting vibe encompasses your mind completely.
MoE is a relentless force of nature, playing a unique form of avant-gardish sludge . with deep, thoughtful lyrics delivered like no-one else by Guro S. Moe, a women of sheer power - deeply in touch with her inner self and surroundings.

Sure, it's easy to say they sound like Steve Albini with some delay, but that really misses the bigger picture: Albini never used delay. They guys are doing some things that Steve never thought to and that's worth a listen. Gbro

Ah mais alors quel gros son mes aïeux !!! La chanson exotic beaches me fait penser dans sa deuxième moitié à Korn. Et le son général aussi, à un Korn plus underground. Les textes sont superbes, et chantés / scandésde façon tout à fait originale, beau boulot monsieur le chanteur. Un disque qui m'accroche. gregory duveau
