EARLY MOODS
Elements of the past, present, and future coalesce within the spell cast by Early Moods.
The Los Angeles band channel the sludge-born spirits of seminal doom metal and beckon them to attack even faster with a jolt of NWOBHM guitar-craft and a twist of thrash attitude. The quintet—Alberto Alcaraz [vocals, keys], Oscar Hernandez [guitar], Eddie Andrade [guitar], Elix Felciano [bass], and Chris Flores [drums]—transfix with otherworldly transmissions of cosmic and catchy heaviness.
After years of meticulously shaping a signature style, they clearly and confidently perfect their vision on 2026’s Ready For The Grave [RidingEasy Records].
“Our sound is more honed,” notes Elix. “We’ve found our identity. I think it takes a couple of albums for most bands. This record isn’t too far removed from what we’ve done in the past, but the songwriting has certainly matured. You can hear the chemistry. You can feel the mood changes in specific songs and all of the dynamics. It’s really alive.”
Originally formed by Alberto and Eddie, the musicians unlocked an uncanny balance between heavy and hypnotic on the self-titled Early Moods in 2022. The sound further crystallized on A Sinner’s Past [2024]. Along the way, they incited the applause of Angry Metal Guy, The Obelisk , and more. Hitting the road, the group shared stages with the likes of High On Fire, Candlemass, Pentagram, Coven, Lucifer, Pagan Altar, and more in addition to joining the bill of Desertfest.

SPELL
More than half a century into its life, what exactly is heavy metal? Is it a kind of belief system? Is it something to be observed as a museum piece, or an exhibit in a museum? Or is it, to paraphrase Christopher Lee's Due de Richeleau in The Devil Rides Out "A living force, which can strike at any moment of the night".
Needless to say, SPELL, Vancouver's next-level metal magicians, have plenty of thoughts on the matter. And as far as they're concerned, heavy metal is something that needs to evolve to stay vibrant and exciting. This has been the fuel for their fifth album, the brashly confident "Wretched Heart". What's more, this relentless evolutionary momentum has led to them creating their strongest record to date “ a thunderous celebration of individualism and eccentricity which stalks its nocturnal realm with savage finesse and beguiling charm.
