C.U.T.E & Mooncake
Black Moon Empire
What happens if you take one of Germanys best-known Post Rock bands, and mix it up with one of Russias best known Post Rock bands? That’s right, you get a Split EP full of surprises. Not just a compilation of tracks, Black Moon Empire is more than that, as the title track blends their unique styles into a single track, which winds along bend and curvess, culminating in a Post Rock eargasm.

- Black Moon Empire should not be seen as just a collection of songs, but as an inspired venture between two bands whose unique styles interweave and play impishly off one another. This is a truly remarkable example of two artists sharing one canvas and creating something rather exceptional. – Stereoboard
- Black Moon Empire ist eine gelungene Zusammenkunft zweier Bands aus dem gleichen stilistischen Lager und zeigt, wie vielfältig instrumentaler Postrock umgesetzt werden kann. – The PostRock
- great melodies, dynamics and energy. Asice
- gehört aber zu den gut gemachten Produkten ihrer Zunft. Schallgrenzen
- ein grandioses Post-Rock/Instrumental-Album, das es wert ist gehört zu werden Alternativ Musik
- Monumentale Gitarrenteppiche und dröhnende Bässe werden von dynamisch variiert eingespielten Drums durch den Parcours getrieben, ein ins Endlose pulsierender Delay setzt das Zeit-und-Raum-Kontinuum auseinander. Popmonitor
