Moon Destroys are set to return with their new album »Omni«, a shimmering blend of post-grunge, riff-doom and driving psychedelia that encapsulates the expansive soundscapes of their previous album »She Walks By Moonlight« into more focused and immediate cuts, delivering the breadth of the band’s genre-pushing abilities in hook-driven, quickfire fashion.

Moon Destroys »Omni« out September 4th on Blues Funeral Recordings – LP/CD/digital preorder available at this location
Formed by legendary guitarist Juan Montoya (a founding member of Torche) and drummer Evan Diprima (Gold Pyramid, Royal Thunder), Moon Destroys released their first EP »Maiden Voyage« in 2020. The 5-song debut featured contributions from Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and Bryan Richie (The Sword) and laid a foundation that would come fully into focus in April 2025, when the band was thrust into the limelight supporting Elder just as they were self-releasing their debut full-length »She Walks By Moonlight«. This shimmering blend of post-rock, riff-doom and shoegazy psychedelia stood as a cinematic and otherworldly journey from a band who breeze into the environs of My Bloody Valentine, The Cult, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Ride.
Capping off 2025, Moon Destroys was invited to support Swedish icons Dozer on their long-awaited US tour, while Blues Funeral Recordings gave »She Walks By Moonlight« a proper worldwide reissue in October, just in time for a coveted run of dates with The Sword. Their next full-length will be released in September 2026, with touring in the US and overseas to follow.
