As rock five-piece Sergeant Thunderhoof prepare for the release of their fifth studio album The Ghost of Badon Hill
on November 15th 2024, the band has released a guitar crunching new single, Blood Moon
.
The group formed in 2013 by sheer accident. Each member had previously worked together in other bands over the years and one night during a jam session, what transpired was a debut LP Zigurat
which took everyone, the band included, by surprise.
The band quickly hit upon a sound which incorporated their love of dark, brooding and soulful grooves, super rich melodies and thick, fuzzy low end rhythm sections.
The latest single contains all the elements the band has become known for as they delve deep into mythology and folklore under layers of fuzz-toned guitars, epic solo's and powerful vocals.
Speaking about the track lead singer Daniel Flitcroft says;
Lyrically, the song Blood Moon is about finding courage and hope when all around is despair. Knowing that what we do in this life, echoes through eternity long after we're all gone.
The song came together very quickly as a result of a jam in our rehearsal space. It's a much shorter and punchier song than is usual for our band which makes a refreshing change.
The single Blood Moon is available through all streaming platforms.
