Mossbane Lantern by Sallow Moth<\/a><\/p>\nListening to Mossbane Lantern without context is a fun and brutal experience, but Sallow Moth\u2019s true magic reveals itself once grounded in its world-building. Without getting too mired in lore, the eponymous Lantern allows users to teleport across distances great and small, though unexpected outcomes occur when the Lantern commingles with varied beings and enchantments. Musically, this allows a common thematic presence in the Mossbane Lantern itself while not strictly adhering to a single story. \u201cCauldron Brim Neurosilk\u201d and \u201cRunemilk Amulet\u201d portray characters under chemical duress, urgently lurching between techy, fetid death metal and trip-hop, signaling when the pendulum of madness swings. Similarly, \u201cPsionic Battery\u201d and \u201cAethercave Boots\u201d describe artifacts designed to aid with the Lantern\u2019s use. When side effects emerge, psychedelic embellishments clue listeners in to the events\u2019 warped natures. Through it all, Sallow Moth assaults listeners with fretless (and fretted) bass, guitar squeals, croaks, and more, keeping them off-balance as the music continuously evolves.<\/p>\n

Such an absurd concept shouldn\u2019t work this well, but Sallow Moth\u2019s unhinged melting pot of jazzy intonations, bowel-churning gurgles, and genre-bending mayhem makes Mossbane Lantern a can\u2019t-miss romp. As a fan of the bizarre and grotesque within metal, there are few (if any) facets of Mossbane Lantern I haven\u2019t heard before, but the way Sallow Moth chucks the pieces into an industrial-grade blender and sets it to \u2018Liquify\u2019 is utterly novel and rewards multiple spins. Some listeners may find the adventure too jarring for their liking, but after spending time with Mossbane Lantern, I don\u2019t find its components haphazard or incidental. Just the opposite\u2014there\u2019s a method to Sallow Moth\u2019s madness, though it requires patience to appreciate. So grab your gear, head for Mossbane Lantern\u2019s light, and prepare to get weird. It\u2019s a trip you don\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if Garry Brents is the busiest person in metal, but he\u2019s active enough that I worry for his work-life balance. In 2025 alone, Brents cranked out releases for multiple projects, including Sallow Moth\u2019s latest platter, Mossbane Lantern. This is death metal for purveyors of the unrepentantly weird, especially those who indulge in sci-fi and fantasy. From a storytelling perspective, Mossbane Lantern takes an anthological approach in describing experiences that assorted characters have with the titular artifact. To capture these events through song, Brents casts a wide, chaotic net of sounds and influences. While it doesn\u2019t fit neatly under either technical or brutal death metal, Mossbane Lantern cherry picks elements of each and infuses them with enough avant-garde, proggy nuttiness to trigger an allergic reaction. All told, Sallow Moth establishes a firmly singular take on death metal.<\/p>\n
