Red Moon Architect announce “October Decay” album and unleash video for first single

Melodic doom metal band Red Moon Architect have announced their sixth studio album, “October Decay”, set for release on April 17th via Noble Demon.

Hailing from Kouvola, Finland, Red Moon Architect have consistently delivered critically acclaimed albums, solidifying their presence within the doom metal scene. The band, originally a solo project by drummer Saku Moilanen, has evolved through various lineup changes, culminating in their current formation featuring Ville Rutanen on vocals.

Following their 2020 release, “Emptiness Weighs The Most”, also put out by Noble Demon, “October Decay” adds another chapter to Red Moon Architect’s impressive discography. Their musical journey has seen them explore diverse sonic landscapes, notably with “Kuura” in 2019, a release that delved into darker, black metal-influenced territories. Earlier albums like “Fall” (2015) and “Return of the Black Butterflies” (2017) further demonstrate their evolution and commitment to crafting compelling doom metal. Over the years, Red Moon Architect have shared the stage with top-class acts such as Amorphis, Swallow The Sun, Moonsorrow, Insomnium and Wolfheart and have cemented their reputation by performing at numerous metal festivals.

With “First of October“, today, Red Moon Architect have just unleashed the first single from their soon-to-be-released album. The track is accompanied by a music video, which you can watch here:

Listen to the single HERE

First of October unfolds with crushing weight and sorrowful grace. Each note resonating with the gravity of loss, while haunting melodies drift like echoes from a forgotten past. This is doom metal at its most beautiful – devastatingly heavy yet achingly melancholic, pulling the listener deeper into its hypnotic abyss.
