Moon Shot share new single and music video 'Blackened Spiral' and starts pre-sales for the new album • GRIMM Gent

Scrap the old-school idea of a rock band. Then enter the world of MOON SHOT where insight and experience replace youthful chaos as the thing that leads to great rock’n’roll. This is timeless music that sits right at home in the times we live in. Feel the energy from these musicians who have been around the block enough times to deliver you “The Power”!

While the first two singles “Yes!” and “Shadow Boxer” are enjoying steadily growing popularity and have been staying in the radio charts for several weeks or rising higher week after week, Finnish alternative rockers MOON SHOT are going to release their second studio album entitled “The Power” on April 26, 2024 via Reaper Entertainment.

Today, the band presents the third digital single “Blackened Spiral”, just in time for the pre-sale launch of the new album. The song is now available on all popular streaming platforms.

The stunning new video was once again created by director Sami Joensuu:

“Blackened Spiral is a very special song, because it includes twoopposites. For one, it’s pretty light and poppy for a Moon Shotsong. On the other hand the message behind the song is profoundand deep”,says chief composer, guitarist and producer Jussi Ylikoski.“It’s about dealing with and accepting death.”

“Lyrically Blackened Spiral is one of the most honest, raw and painful text I’ve everwritten for Moon Shot. The positive pulse of the song builds perfect dialogue withthese fateful lyrics”, comments vocalist and lyricist Ville Malja and adds: “The song is for those who have lost someone they love. It’s dedicated for thebeautiful memories that stay with us forever no matter what happens.”

Video director Sami adds:

“With every video I’ve ever done, the visual world starts by being 100% present in the song first. Usually by playing it on repeat in the car. 🙂 I never add film techniques or tricks into any video by force, they have to fit the song. During the start of the project, we had a great chat with Ville about the song and the color purple kept on coming up. That got my thoughts going towards explosive colors in general and that’s where animation/AI entered the picture. We knew from the get go that we didn’t want the whole video to be animated though, which created the foundation for what you see in the end result: a blending of explosive live action, with the trippy world of the animations/AI. Combining those two felt like an exciting challenge.”

The album can now be pre-ordered on vinyl, CD, in a limited and personalized special edition or as an exclusive bundle with a limited edition shirt: www.reaper-entertainment.com
