"The band’s eponymous debut album is forty-three minutes spread over five tracks. Most songs include moody ambient keyboard intros or epilogues, the effects of which are amplified by obscure, amorphous visuals projected on a screen behind the band during live shows. Video equipment is notoriously finicky, and as such, it’s entirely possible the images are crisper than the projection suggests. The most memorable tracks, Anubis and Aesthesis, are the last two, the latter of which includes a spoken word section read by Stephen Hawking, and ends with a passage from Edgar Allan Poe."
-Review from ithinkiheardsomething
"different than I was expecting... a lot of really cool sounds and grooves, deep and compelling ambiences."
As if they walked straight off of the soundtrack of a dark epic thriller movie and onto stage, Eugene, Oregon’s Ninth Moon Black bring a unique blend of ambient music and psychotic disturbing visuals that have a distinctively dark mood, fitting of the North West.
Ninth Moon Black push the progressive ambient genre with dropped guitars that go from metal-induced to eerily slow and delayed, drum beats that serve to hold the whole structure of sound up with double-kicked metal parts or even trip-hop-influenced loops, spacey synthesizers that add epic strings, retro synth lines, and experimenting into noise, a loud bass that rumbles below every track, never venturing too far from the lower strings, and unsettling movie audio samples that surface from time to time as the only human voice that is heard, communicating a feeling of desperation.
At Ninth Moon Black’s live show, you will find all of the house and stage lights shut off, the only light provided by their video display of incoherent old or damaged movie footage which becomes the soundtrack itself to the music. Their set becomes a single 40 minute continuum of music and ambience that is a continuous piece in itself.
