Moonbladder are a solo project from Portland, Oregon that plays a mixture of death industrial and dread electronics and this is a review of his 2024 album "Dark Sky Equilibrium" which was released by Crucial Blast.
Synths and electronic music sounds start off the album while the only track that is presented on this recording is over 22 minutes in length. Spoken word parts can also be heard in the background briefly along with some power electronics which also takes the music into more of a death industrial direction.
At times the music also gets very ritualistic sounding while the noises and drones also get more harsh as the song progresses. A lot of the album also sounds improvised along with some field recordings also being utilized at times as well as some whispered chants also being introduced in the later part of the album which also evolve into harsh vocals.
Moonbladder plays a musical style that takes harsh noise, power electronics, death industrial, drone and ritual and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark and lo-fi while the song themes revolve around horror and nightmares.
In my opinion Moonbladder is a very great sounding mixture of death industrial and dread electronics and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. 8 out of 10.
