El Moono - Brighton, UK. El Moono are back with their highly anticipated debut album, The Waking Sun, recorded at Middle Farm Studios. The band are further exploring their off-kilter and oftentimes mind-bending riff writing, emotive soundscapes and expressive lyricism to create a record that will further prove their “genre-phobic” reputation. 2022 saw the band's release of the critically acclaimed EP ‘Temple Corrupted’ via Lockjaw Records, (Belvedere, Jamie Lenman, DARKO) and heavy touring around the UK & Europe (with the likes of Black Peaks, The St Pierre Snake Invasion, The Hyena Kill and more) which cemented the band as favourites within the post-metal/post-hardcore scene. Exploring themes of human self-destruction and depression, the narrative is set to “seismic riffs of grunge with the atmospherics of post-rock” - Guitar World "Temple Corrupted is utterly incredible" - Kerrang! With unique influences of rock, hardcore, metal and grunge, the off-kilter and oftentimes mind-bending riffs, emotive songs and expressive lyricism combine to create a sound that’s difficult to pigeonhole. Although, fans of Thrice, Audioslave and Deftones will have plenty to sink their teeth into. El Moono are one of the most exciting up and coming bands who should not go unnoticed.
