Elements of the past, present, and future coalesce within the spell cast by Early Moods.
The Los Angeles band channel the Sludge-born spirits of seminal Doom Metal and beckon them to attack even faster with a jolt of NWOBHM guitar-craft and a twist of Thrash attitude. The quintet — Alberto Alcaraz (vocals, keys), Oscar Hernandez (guitar), Eddie Andrade (guitar), Elix Felciano (bass), and Chris Flores (drums) — transfix with otherworldly transmissions of cosmic and catchy heaviness.
After years of meticulously shaping a signature style, they clearly and confidently perfect their vision on 2026’s “Ready For The Grave.”
“Our sound is more honed,” notes Elix. “We’ve found our identity. I think it takes a couple of albums for most bands. This record isn’t too far removed from what we’ve done in the past, but the songwriting has certainly matured. You can hear the chemistry. You can feel the mood changes in specific songs and all of the dynamics. It’s really alive.”
During 2026, they recorded “Ready For The Grave” at Cyan Sound Studio with producer Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Tool). He invariably inspired them to level up.
