Frostmoon Eclipse bring Italian ice to US

Frostmoon Eclipse

Italian black metallers Frostmoon Eclipse, whom I wrote about here, embark on their first US tour this Sunday. (See dates below.) The routing is frankly strange – scattered locales in the South and Midwest. This is probably due to their tourmates, Nashville’s Chaos Moon and Ft. Lauderdale’s Benighted in Sodom, whom I reviewed here and here. Dubbed the “Beauty, Darkness, Chaos Tour,” the package should help shed light on these wonderfully idiosyncratic acts. Frostmoon Eclipse are like a black metal Opeth, interspersing electricity with moody acoustic guitar. Chaos Moon and Benighted in Sodom make lush, dreamy black metal – they’re USBM’s next great hopes. A split CD with these three bands will be sold on this tour.
