High Command returns with their second full length album Eclipse of the Dual Moons produced by Seth Manchester.
Swords and metal go hand in hand. That's what crossover thrash band
High Command say, having turned heads with their debut album Beyond The Wall of Desolation (2019).
"Our love for the bay area in the 80's is certainly no secret. Besides some of the more obvious influences we have I think we were much more comfortable exploring some of the less obvious stuff we hinted at with the first record. Particularly traditional heavy metal (Dio, Mercyful Fate) the south's interpretation of the bay area (Exhorder, Obituary, Nasty Savage, Devastation, Rigor Mortis) first wave black metal (Bathory, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost). Of course all of this executed with the discharge, Cro mags, Sacrilege DNA that runs through our veins"
But it's not solely metal music which influences the band, who cite the lustful violence of Robert E. Howard, Michel Moorcock, Jack Vance and many other legendary pulp writers of the 20th century as an impetus for their expansive storytelling.
"People would also be surprised to hear we drew quite a bit of inspiration from the music of Ennio Morricone, especially in regards to writing some more of the epic, grandiose passages and chord progressions." says the band.
Now, with their second album, Eclipse of the Dual Moons, the band take their love of storytelling a step further, deepening and widening the world of Secartha, the realm of High Command's songs. The band place themselves as omniscient narrators of the world they have created, and say that they are inseparable from Secartha and its people.
"It's one thing to make a good metal record, but it's another to put on top of it a sort of overarching story that makes sense to listeners. The whole High Command project is enriched by lyrics articulating characters, a world, and trials faced within it. We want our records to be immersive and leave listeners with a feeling they've experienced something bigger than the music."
It's not just a question of widening the world, which the band first started exploring on The Secartha Demos (2016); Eclipse of the Dual Moons sees High Command honing their process to a fine art "it's like we started with chiseling a rock... this record is the moment the rock in question begins to look like an actual sculpture."

Instead of saying "Merry Christmas", I've been screaming "Omniscient Flail of Infamy!" at people.

Amen brother. This was definitely my Christmas 2022 album

I'm hearing some Big 4 influences in those riffs which is great! Love it!

[@c0nc3p7]

Yeah this is one of the best albums I have heard in years. That unique guitar tone is the best element(combined with those riffs of course). It gets a lot more views from NWOOSTM and other upload spots, even though this is the official spot really. Immortal Savagery is amazing

Who ever filmed this did a fantastic job! Every solo by both guitarist was caught on cam perfectly. Bass player playing his Rickenbacker Bass sounded amazing. Drummer going thru THREE snare drums meant he was KILLING it!!! The singers Death Metals vocals were a perfect fit. Amazing band!
P.S, No karate in the pit please.
