El Moono - Temple Corrupted
Description
El Moono are back with a vengeance and a new record: "Temple Corrupted". Influences of rock, hardcore, post-hardcore, sludge, grunge and metal, the band's off-kilter and oftentimes mind-bending riffs, emotive songs and expressive lyricism combine to create a sound that's difficult to pigeonhole
The EP - a raucous mix of Deftones, Thrice, Black Peaks, and Phoxjaw - marks a new era for the band. It follows heavy pre-Covid touring around the UK and Europe with Black Peaks, Phoxjaw, Haggard Cat and Press to Meco, and fully showcases El Moono's expansive tastes and approach.
'Temple Corrupted' is a concept EP, focused on depression and anxiety, and how societal corruption affects individual mental health. Listen out, for example, for track five, 'Miseria', which directly tackles the first-person experience of self-loathing. The song brings attention to the staggering statistics around suicide, and what might happen in future if our attitudes toward mental health remain the same.
"a blizzard of grungey riffs, interspersed with wah-spiked freakouts" - Kerrang!
