Secrets Of The Moon have named their sixth album after the sun, since it stems from the immediate experience of becoming and perishing, of ending and starting anew - not only in the musicians' private sphere but also within the band itself.
In the wake of existential experiences, the new line-up created the band's boldest and most intense album to date. On Sun, black metal is less of a dogma but intuitively transferred into a context of universally dark music, expressing the artists' spiritual catharsis and growth without restrictions.
If with this album, Secrets Of The Moon represent one particular style in 2015, it is their very own, saturated with unwavering self-confidence and the will to live.
