Dry Wedding unveil new single 'Moths' and announce new album • GRIMM Gent

Vesperian presents “Moths”, the second single from Portland based DRY WEDDING, arriving alongside a new video and marking the announcement of the band’s upcoming third album, set for release on July 31.

Following the release of “Arrowhead”, which introduced listeners to the band’s most intense and expansive material to date, “Moths” deepens the sonic palette. The track leans into restraint and atmosphere while maintaining the raw physicality that defines the band’s sound. Layers of post punk tension, gothic country textures, and the weight of noise rock and doom converge into something both deliberate and volatile.

As we began writing our third album, we wanted to push certain sonic elements further than ever. ‘Moths’ was an exercise in patience and restraint, and it quickly became a band favorite. Our new music video blends raw performance footage with Lynchian visuals to reflect the song’s lyrical themes, the tenebrous parts of ourselves that we hope to conceal and the all consuming impact of bringing them to light.” Davey Ferchow, DRY WEDDING

Directed by Olivia Bayer, the video reinforces this duality, combining direct, unfiltered performance with a more abstract visual language. The result is a piece that mirrors the internal tension at the core of the track, where control and collapse coexist.

The band’s third album, “The Back Of Beyond”, will be released on July 31 via Vesperian. Recorded and mixed by Adam Pike at Toadhouse Recording and mastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering in Portland, Oregon, the album further expands the band’s blend of post punk tension, gothic country atmosphere, noise rock weight and doom laden intensity. The album artwork was created by Adam Burke of Nightjar Illustration, with layout and design by John Haughm. The tracklist is as follows:

With this new material, DRY WEDDING continue to refine a sound that resists easy categorization, moving fluidly between genres while maintaining a distinct identity rooted in intensity, texture, and emotional weight.

DRY WEDDING are a Portland based band operating at the intersection of post punk, gothic country, noise rock, black metal and doom. Now presenting their third album, the band have continued to evolve a sound that balances restraint and intensity, combining raw physical performance with a strong atmospheric and narrative dimension. Across their work, DRY WEDDING have developed an identity that feels both deliberate and unpredictable, equally focused on sonic detail and visceral impact.
