Malmö-based Psychedelic Doom foursome Moon Coven present a new track taken from their fourth studio album “Sun King,” due out August 25, 2023 on Ripple Music. Give in to the crushing force of “Behold The Serpent” now…
About the song theme, Moon Coven says: “Convinced he is protected from darkness, a holy man ventures deep into unexplored lands in search of wealth and prosperity. But in his arrogance he soon finds himself face to face with evil itself. Behold the Serpent is a pure doom song that stands out from the rest of the songs on the album. It’s the heaviest song on the album and might even be the heaviest song we’ve written so far.“

Two years after unleashing their juggernaut third record and Ripple Music debut “Slumber Wood” upon the world, Moon Coven are now ready to shift the Earth’s axis and mesmerize the masses once again with a fresh set of tunes in the sheerest tradition of modern heavy psychedelia: “Sun King.” Entirely recorded and produced by the band, their fourth studio album is a generous and compelling 9-track propelled by a renewed synergy: fueled up with Fuzz for days, the band keeps their myth-laden Doom ethos strong, while enhancing their Garage-Psych facet for a spirited saga full of riff-driven plot twists.
The album will be released on August 25, 2023 in various vinyl editions, CD and digital through Ripple Music. Watch their new video “Wicked Words in Gold They Wrote“
Moon Coven “Sun King” Out August 25, 2023 on Ripple Music

Moon Coven is a Swedish Heavy Psychedelic Rock band whose deep understanding of the classics and their passion for Fuzz make for a distinct and potent sound. Their sound is a fusion of genre staples such as Black Sabbath and Acid King with the Progressive magic of Pink Floyd and the Psychedelic influences of The Black Angels. Having opened for bands like Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, Monolord, Blues Pills and Jex Thoth, Moon Coven knows what it means to share the stage with the best of the best. It was this same attitude they brought on their three European tours as well as to festivals like Krokbacken, Children of the Sun or Red Smoke Festival in Poland.
After the release of their first two albums “Amanita Kingdom” (2014) and “Moon Coven” (2016), Moon Coven signed a worldwide deal with the revered Californian label Ripple Music in 2021. Born out of this collaboration, their third album “Slumber Wood” was described as “a spotless journey through the dark and foggy underworld of riffadelia” by More Fuzz and “a trace-like exploration of sonic heaviness and emotion-laden doom that won’t be soon forgotten” by Metal Injection. The forceful Swedish foursome is now ready to return with their fourth studio full-length “Sun King,” a mind-expanding and definitely boundary-pushing trip to be released in the summer 2023 on Ripple Music.
