Bloedmaan have put out The Sorceress And The Keys, the second song from Circle of the Moon, with an animated lyric video made by Jack Maguire.
Read the titles in order and the joke stops being a joke. Castle Inside the Eclipse in 2023, then Return to Castlevania, What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse and The Clock Tower, then Vampyric War in Blood last year, and now a record called Circle of the Moon. Metal Archives lists the project's lyrical themes as darkness, desolation and video games, which is the driest way anyone has ever described three albums of Belgian black metal built on a Konami series.
It is one man. Ronarg writes and plays everything in the studio and sings when the thing goes on stage, and he is also in Antzaat, Ars Veneficium and Cirith Gorgor, which is a heavier set of credits than the concept suggests. Immortal Frost Productions puts the records out. The name is Dutch for blood moon.
Formed in 2022, two albums out and a third on the way, plus a split earlier this year called Curse of the Emerald Knight. Four years, and the pace has not dropped once.
