Although Perish Moon spits forth its gloomy Black Metal from exotic Indonesia, Isaro Aprilianto creates a freezing cold atmosphere on his first two track demo. Grave Rays only contains ten minutes of rawness based on F.W. Murnaus black and white classic “Nosferatu” yet drawns me completely into its black oblivion.
The strength of Perish Moon lies in its simplicity, no blastbeats flying about, no supersonic guitarlicks, just some mean midpaced Black Metal with a slight wink to Akitsa and the grooves created by the likes of Khold.
Well done Mister Aprilianto. (franki_boj)
