REVIEWS

"Black Moon Howl is gravity-defying Indie Psych Blues Rock"

– C&I Studios

“Bad Blood” by Black Moon Howl is a transformative track that merges cosmic themes and emotional resonance, standing out in psychedelic rock with rhythmic conviction and narrative depth.”

“En el panorama musical alternativo, Black Moon Howl emerge como un faro de innovación con su última entrega, “Iodine Yellow”. La banda, cuyo nombre evoca la rareza de una segunda luna nueva y el anhelo profundo de un aullido, ha tejido una obra maestra de rock psicodélico.”
