Hudson Barth

@reekingaura a 5 piece death metal group made of seasoned veterans from the NY/NJ underground scene, return with their second album On the Promise of the Moon to be released on April 17th.  Pre-orders now live (link in bio), new track “What Worms Only Witness” now streaming everywhere and visualizer by Craig Rossi now on YouTube.   Tracked at OK Studios in Kinderhook, NY then mixed and mastered by the legendary @dan_swano_official , On the Promise of the Moon builds on the “Fires in Deep Frost” EP released in 2025 with a dark, melodic atmosphere that does not compromise their brutal, guttural NY roots. Returning from the first album are guitarists Terrell Grannum (Thaetas), and Rick Habeeb (Grey Skies Fallen) as well as vocalist William Smith (Afterbirth). Drummer Hudson Barth and bassist TJ Coon (both also in Trog) round out the lineup and bring fresh blood to the band. The album also features contributions from guest vocalists Eston Browne (Vulnificus) and Jon Berg (The Path) as well as string arrangements by Ben Karas (Slaughtersun).

percolation imminent...

Third advance track from the new @reekingaura album On The Promise of the Moon (out in a week) is released today and streaming everywhere. The track “Sifting for Fungal Inheritance (A Mildewey, Alcrid Mulch)” is taken from the perspective of a mushroom harvester who has consumed the wrong fungi while deep in a secluded forest. Also this Monday (April 13) the band will be having a listening party of the new album on Bandcamp at 8pm EST so go there to RSVP.
