Originally formed in 2001, Barcelona's MOONLOOP have kept on impressing the press and local fans with their own mix of progressive and death metal, Often tagged as a non mimicking but challenging combination of OPETH 's catchy arrangements and musical sensibilities and GOJIRA / DEATH heavy, menacing yet melodic powerful guitar grooves and bashing drums. Based on Mother Earth, MOONLOOP debut album "Deeply from the Earth" gathered an excellent press feedback worldwide , which Metal rage rightly described as "Take the groovy, Death Metal sound and environmental lyrics of GOJIRA, add the progressive instrumental elements of BLACKWATER PARK era OPETH, finish off with a few technical elements from BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME" The Metal Observer cynically illustrated : "Do you long for the time Chuck Schuldiner was still alive and Mikael Akerfeldt still had balls ? If the answer is "yes" on both counts ( which, y'know, it should be), then Barcelona's MOONLOOP will put a big fat smile on your ugly mug" Metal Archives offered an edifying conclusion : "MOONLOOP is an adventure, and should appeal to a wide audience ranging from the progressive metal geek to those interested in more technical/clinical death/thrash." Truly, MOONLOOP is a band with the broadest opportunities for evolution , consistently forward thinking yet retaining the death metal roots in their songwriting.
