The Moon and the Nightspirit – Seed of the Formless

With their eighth studio album Seed of the Formless", THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT have reached a crossroads on their ever changing path. A deliberate and significant sonic mutation has created a leap in their stylistic evolution. While the Hungarian duo's deep roots in ethereal folk remain audible, "Seed of the Formless" marks their conscious journey into the heavier realms of atmospheric post-metal. The Hungarians' embrace of electric guitars and vast synth soundscapes to channel what they describe as a more cosmic and visceral energy, as compared to the whispering of forest and meadows in their musical past, makes perfect sense at this stage of their sonic evolution. As THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT navigate the space between shadow and luminescence, the parallel contrast between the acoustic and the electric as well as their subsequent amalgamation, they unlock the gates to a vast realm of new possibilities. There will always be those who oppose any change, but as true artists THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT acted on their need to evolve further. The result is "Seed of the Formless", which is drawing from atmospheric post-metal and ambient, while the duo's soul remains intact: mystical, yearning, and eternally bound to the infinite!"
