Moloch

Moloch stand as a formidable presence within the UK’s underground doom metal and sludge metal scenes. Since their formation in 2007, Moloch have honed a sound that is both crushingly heavy and uncompromising, earning them a dedicated following among fans of esoteric, slow-burn sonic brutality. The band’s discography, marked by releases such as "A Bad Place" and collaborative projects with acts like Lich and Meth Drinker, underscores their commitment to the darker frontiers of heavy music.

Their most recent release, "Bend. Break. Kneel. Crawl.", scheduled for February 2026, is set to further cement their reputation for delivering monumental, atmospheric doom. Tracks like "Bad Gift" and "Deadweight" exemplify Moloch’s mastery of tension and catharsis, while their penchant for split records showcases their close ties within the global sludge and doom community. Each album and EP is a testament to the band’s relentless exploration of sonic despair and bleak thematic narratives.

In May 2026, Moloch are slated to perform at Desertfest London at the Black Heart, sharing the stage with headliners Iron Slug. This appearance as a support act highlights their ongoing relevance in the live music circuit and offers a prime opportunity for fans to experience their immersive, intense performances first-hand.
