New music announcements are still yet to come, but earlier in the year, the Massachusetts hardcore band hinted that they might release a Bloodmoon: II, the follow-up to their epic collaboration album.
Bloodmoon: I was released in 2021 and featured Stephen Brodsky, former Converge bassist now of Cave In and Mutoid Man, Chelsea Wolfe, and Chelsea Wolfe collaborator Ben Chisholm.
“There is a Bloodmoon: II—and hopefully more will be recorded … A lot of music when we initially the first Bloodmoon sessions, and it’s just sort of mutating and evolving into its own thing,” says project mastermind Jacob Bannon. “Definitely Ben and Chelsea are involved, and Steve’s involved. We might have some other people work with us too that are friends. Just, you know, put something together that is sonically interesting to us.
“We’ll get there, it’s just there’s only so much time in the day. We want to be able to travel and do our normal bands too. So, we’re trying to make time for it. We will.”
We’ll see if 2024 brings more tour dates, a Bloodmoon: II collaboration, or a straightforward release from the band. Maybe we’ll be lucky and get all three.
