The self-titled full length debut of Los Angeles quintet Early Moods is a marriage of classic underground doom like Candlemass, Witchfinder General, Pentagram, Trouble and Saint Vitus, paired with traditional “big box” Heavy Metal melodies and song structure. These two contrasting aesthetics may seem incongruous, but the skilled musicianship of Early Moods - some of whom have played music together since their early teens - manages to find the perfect balance between grit and gloss.
“From the beginning, the purpose for this band was to incorporate our love of traditional doom metal with a heavy metal approach,” guitarist Eddie Andrade says. “We wanted to show that heavy doom can be complemented with melodies and harmonies. Black Sabbath meets NWOBHM is what we aim for, really.”
The band was founded in 2015 by Andrade and vocalist/keyboardist Alberto Alcaraz after a few years of playing in thrash and death metal projects before the two realized that the classic doom that they’d grown up with was what they really wanted to explore. Going through a few lineup changes while delving deeper into the diverging influences that were calling, Early Moods arrived at the sound and lineup that grew their fanbase locally. The band soon captured the attention of German label Dying Victim Productions, who released their debut EP, Spellbound in 2020. Early Moods is Oscar Hernandez on lead guitar, Chris Flores on drums, Elix Felciano on bass, Alcaraz on vocals/synth and Andrade on guitar.
Early Moods was recorded at 7th Street Studios in downtown L.A. by Carlos Cruz (Warbringer, Chris Poland, Power Trip) from October to December of 2021. It was mixed by Allen Falcon of Birdcage Studios and mastered by Brad Boatright of Audio Siege who has worked with bands like Sleep, Obituary, and High On Fire.
The album opens with a slow fade of ringing feedback that builds into the main motif, an infectious trilling Iommi-esque guitar line of “Return To Salem’s Gate” that turns on a dime into a double time gallop and just as quickly back again, all the while building subtle harmonies of vocals and guitars. “Live To Suffer” nods to the swinging denim doom of Trouble while “Funeral Rites” takes a more grunge leaning tack with syrupy guitars and Pentagram style narrative structure. The band’s namesake song “Early Moods” begins as an eerie ballad with chorus-soaked guitars playing a sinister riff that slowly grows as Alcaraz sings of tortured souls. Then suddenly it all breaks into a chugging charge with a gloriously simple but effective hammer-on melodic guitar line that soon transforms into a scorching lead. Throughout, the band deftly shows its skill with refined prowess.
Early Moods will be available on LP, CD and download on August 5th, 2022 via RidingEasy Records.

Top album of 2022. A masterpiece. Every song is perfect and nobody in their right mind would change a thing about them.
They sounded so killer live in Baltimore! They're on tour right now! Go see them, thank me later.
Has a real Pentagram vibe. I can dig it.
It's straight up Witchfinder General!
Best new traditional doom band to come out in last few years. Look forward to seeing and hearing more from this amazing band
Salute 🤘
Caught these dudes at Bottom Lounge in Chicago, such a fresh breath of doom \m/
This fuckin rules so much it's crazy, sounds like a band your cool uncle introduced you to from when he was young in the 90s.
Had the pleasure of seeing these guys lives last night at Substation Seattle. The energy they put out there is unreal! Here's hoping Early Moods really make it big 🤘🏽
Saw these guys live, they are the real deal! Very tight and hard hitting! Keep it going fellas!
Rock n' f'n roll, gentlemen. The album kicks ass and deserves much more exposure.
This shit is absolutely amazing, holy shit! Just what we needed, so much love from Norway🤘
STONE MAATER Loves this....Even their Look is exactly the way a Heavy Band should Look....and old school 100%...Nothing Better
Album is killer! Love this band.
man this song hard as fuck, this band got the real sauce
Great sound and the band looks awesome too. Way to go, guys.
I’m typically not into the sludgy doom metal side of things (if you want to put these guys in a box), but this band is absolutely amazing. Dark and heavy and great riffs, lyrics, bass and drums….everything! I’m a fan, great work. The whole album is amazing.
Geiler Song!
Hey guys, literally discovered you 2 days ago... Listen to the Spellbound EP on the way back from work today, and really dug it.
But I had read the review on AngryMetalGuy for the LP and knew I wanted to hear THAT.
I was 2-3 tracks in before I had to buy the album.
This ticks so many of my boxes.
I can't wait to keep blasting it and showing people. Good job you glorious fecks!
Great stuff guys! Can't wait to hear more. You must come play Chicago!
They're opening for Coven and Lucifer on November 22nd at the Bottom Lounge. Also, if they're ever in your area, check out Black Road. Best band to come out of Chicago since Trouble.
Hell yeah, this whole album kicks ass!
Cool Beans! Melodic Doom Metal with a little bit of Groove Rock thrown in.
Oh DAMN!!!
A very nice slabbath of Sabbath.
Guitarist Eddie Andrade says, "Black Sabbath meets NWOBHM is what we aim for, really.”
"Well done!" says Peter Pandemonium. "Make that NWOTHM"
They have succeeded! From a Sabs/Dio/Rainbow/Accept/Maiden/Saxon fan since the time of NWOBHM.
Quite possibly the best doomy band at the moment.
brilliant riffage
These dudes are the real deal
100% Rock’ N’ Roll
