Colin M. An intriguing mix of beautiful melodies and vocal lines with at times punishingly heavy riffs and sludgy sections. A unique and highly enjoyable sound. Dig it! Favorite track: Pilgrim.

Feral Bob They had me at the first track. Achingly beautiful, insanely catchy, perfectly balanced, and heavy in all the right places; Moonchild is officially Song of 2022. I said so.

Moonchild 04:54
There’s a light in the wood, it leads you to answers
 And it’s misunderstood, it isn’t your master
 "And I’ll be the one, to pull down the sun 
And give you the dark, and safe harbour" There’s a wolf at the door, waiting to be spoken
 And he drinks at your thoughts, even when they’re broken
 "And I’ll be the one, to pull down the sun
 And give you the dark, that you’ve been after" 

I will see you in the long dark brother 
Walk through the fire, and drink to our memory 
And I, will see you in the long dark brother
 Wade in the fire, and drink to our legacy

 Now, now I know that stars all die, given the time
 Your light still flickers here 
And now, now I know that stars all die, given the time
 Your light still flickers here, moonchild

Lepa Radić 03:45
Holding court
 With dying thoughts of legacy
 When they come for you You’ll remember my name Shedding fear
 Beyond my years of bravery When they come for you
 Then you’ll know their names Lepa Radić lives
3.
Like birds on a wire Watching the snow Soon one will tire and Fall to the earth below
 Like stars in the summer That died in the spring
 A friend and his lover Smile and take a knife to the king
 The pieces of the world that I have won
 I climbed inside a heart of oblivion Shackled to the light of a dying sun If this is darkness, brother I am one Like blood in the river That fades in the rain Washed out to the ocean I wonder if he was in pain Like pieces of silver Lost to the game
 The familiar shiver Of another hopeless exchange

 The pieces of the world that I have won
 I climbed inside a heart of oblivion Shackled to the light of a dying sun If this is darkness, brother I am one
4.
Hiraeth 04:34
And in the land of the beautiful
 Time won’t listen We worship at the feet of the dull
 As weakness glistens Violence rings from her tongue
 Her stars read sorrow Collapse at the weight of the words 
The romance is borrowed Whir in the calm of the night The pull of the earth
 The leak in the mind Turn into the line of the fire The state of your worth Is measured in time
5.
Pilgrim 05:23
I looked into the sun Hoping to see the end And as the light burned down
 I thought I heard you my friend
 It’s always the silence That leaves the loudest sound 
And as they called you pilgrim 
I cursed this hollow mound

 And there will always be Iron in these hills 
And as the sun sets in the mountains 
I can hear you in the still
 And there will always be Iron in these hills
 And as the sun sets in this sadness
 You flicker in us still
6.
Empire 04:26
We are empire 
Still in embryo And as the spiders eat their young
 We’ll smile on what’s to come

 Bring forth the silence 
The hush before the yell And as the horde begins to pull
 With the heart of an animal
7.
Under the eaves The morning waits for no man And I’ve been a light that burns dim Under these eaves The setting sun’s a shutter for these hours "Mark my words, this won’t end well Believe me’
" Under the eaves 
The terror falls away again
 And I’ve been a smile that wears thin
 Under these eaves 
The eventide pulls rescue from your ruin "Mark my words, you’ll be well Believe me"
8.
Tides End 07:09
Siren calls
 In the dreams that I remember
 The beating stalls In the darkness of November 

And tides will end
 Before their time
 Tides will end

 And the lighthouse is fading 
In the arms of the night
 The ocean is waiting The islands are under the waves

 And the bones of the broken 
Play the songs of the tired
 So honour this moment And walk out into the fray

Artwork by William Daniel

'An astonishing album from start to finish, its melding of alt-rock textures and easy on the ear melodies twinned with sludge tinted refrains, prog-like complexities and occasional vocal harshness will appeal to those who like their music bordering on the extreme but also to those who like a tune they can whistle, an album that covers all angles.'

- Desert Psychlist

'A deeply rich and wonderfully creative album that shows a band doing soing different with the Progressive Sludge Metal sound. By adding Alt Metal themes and Psychedelic beats, Mountains have delivered an album that’s packed full of epic grooves, huge melodies and gigantic riffs.'

- Outlaws Of The Sun
