The soundscape evoked in Destroyers of the Moon, began as a drawing, a graphic landscape. Conceiving the composition in a visual register–in which, for example, barren plains give way to mountainous peaks–allowed Owlfood to develop a fuller tonality, a sonority richer and more differentiated than in previous recordings. The old Owlfood can still be found in this scape, which functions as a ground for the project’s original fragility, if not its melancholy.

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
