Artist: MOSS
Album: SUB TEMPLUM (DIGI)

Year: 2008
Media type: CD

MOSS first cracked the earth in the bleak summer of 2001 - born from a sickening lust of horror, drugs, insane occult visions and a desire to create the heaviest Doom Metal Anti-Music of all time.

Early years spawned rare live performances scattered with limited runs of cassettes and CD-r split demos, before the release of the monolithic debut album Cthonic Rites on Christmas Day, 2005.

Produced by Electric Wizard's Jus Oborn, Cthonic Rites took the listener on a journey from the bowels of the earth to the farthest reaches of space and back, heralding the coming of ancient elder Gods through two massive slabs of bleakly magnificent, mind-controlling death sludge. There followed 3 years of self-inflicted silence. The only signs of life being a limited 7" split with Monarch and an impossibly rare and dangerously packaged re-release of the 2002 Tormented demo.

2008: Moss return on Rise Above Records with their second album, SUB TEMPLUM. Nocturnally recorded deep in the mystical Welsh valleys and once again overseen by Jus Oborn, Sub Templum is an immense opus of occult hypnosis inspired by the macabre, masonry, marijuana and Doris ZORA Norton. A terrifying work of uncompromisingly cryptic enormity, Sub Templum will ruin "extreme" doom metal for everyone.
