The Moor Year Of The Hunger

2012, YEAR OF THE HUNGER is home to 12 tracks which show a strong statement of intent as to The Moor's quality and potential. Whilst the bands self-titled 5 track EP gave a glimpse of things to the come, YEAR OF THE HUNGER builds on the promise shown by the EP to deliver a well executed and mature sounding debut release. Since their inception, The Moor has consistently incorporated sounds from prog rock, metal, death metal (for the guitars parts), seventies and alternative influences into their compositions making for a very compelling end product that will reward any open minded listener. Whilst YEAR OF THE HUNGER is not a concept album lyrically, there are two themes running through the words representing either a negative outlook (the noble truth of suffering), or a positive outlook (the path of liberation). This contrast gives light and shade to the lyrics helping aid the more personalized sound.
