Criticially acclaimed black metal band MO’YNOQ have released another video from their album, A Place for Ash exclusively at Decibel Magazine.
The band comments: ” ‘Throes of Ardent Disposition’ is a song about personal growth and the difficulty of not just living with grief, but overcoming it on the way to something greater. It feels natural to dwell on negative emotions, but one cant move forward without first processing and excising the malignancies that hold them back.”
The band’s partners The C.O.I.N. also add:
“We [the C.O.I.N.] aimed to capture a pioneer’s journey through a rotten, crumbling mass with a tumor enveloping its heart. We thought the setting itself as a character, an embodiment of our collective disregard.”

The band released their sophomore album A Place For Ash on September 9th, 2022, the American black metal outfit MO’YNOQ return to fall deeper into labyrinths of anguish and despair. Brandishing feral riffs and cadaverous imagery, MO’YNOQ unearth the dark realities of depression, despair and loss.
The quartet draw inspiration from the likes of IMMORTAL, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, MGLA , along with the savage side to reality from which so many avert their gaze. Seething anguish seeps through A Place For Ash with raging power. Ferocious screams introduce the opening track “Penance” before a deathly gloom emerges through the all encompassing atmosphere. Unceasing percussion and dominant distortion across the instruments produces an incessant disquiet. “Effigies Adorned in Fire” is ablaze with intricate tremolo guitar parts and thundering drums. It’s an onslaught of sheer speed, delivering a differing mood with these textures and tones taking prominence. Concluding the album with “The Beast that Mourned at the Heart of the Mountain”, the epic fury reaching almost twelve minutes, this final act sees the majestic elements of MO’YNOQ’s sound converge. While maintaining their footing along the path of the dark and heavy, there are uplifting, soaring qualities to be found in the lead melodies.
A Place For Ash lays bear nightmarish horrors for all to see. MO’YNOQ artfully craft their compositions to indulge in the variety of instrumental and vocal textures that form their black metal sound. The new record delivers a profound musical journey through the ever-growing shadows of our world.
