Black Moth announce new album ‘Anatomical Venus’

BLACK MOTH have announced a new album!

The new album, titled Anatomical Venus, is the third effort from the band and is scheduled to be released in January next year via their new home at Candlelight Records. The upcoming album was produced by Andy Hawkins (HAWK EYES, MAXIMO PARK) with Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR) handling the mixing duties. Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Harriet Hyde says, “The Anatomical Venus spoke volumes to me. She embodies the male gaze, a history of men dissecting women in an attempt to understand her, reveal her magic, snuff out her unruly flame, while all the time needing her to be beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to their taste. These models are not simply practical medical models for education – they are fetish objects, women stripped back as far as you can go. But there is a look of defiance in their eyes as if to say, ‘keep looking if you like. I dare you. Peel back my skin and peep behind my ribcage, you won’t find anything unless I choose to tell you.”

With lead single Moonbow set to be released in November, the band will close the year to support the release of their new song and upcoming album as well as performing at the prestigious Desertfest in London in May next year. The full list of confirmed shows are as follows:
