Known for his previous work with bands such as Shai Hulud and As Friends Rust, Damien Moyal is back with a new album from his Damien Done project, a full-length album called Total Power, which will release on May 19 via Mind Over Matter Records.
Damien Done leans more gothic and post-punk in tone than previous work, with one full-length and multiple EPs already released.
The new album also features more collaborative work, including the new single "Inexorcisable."
Moyal explains:
"Inexorcisable" is the first of two consecutive tracks on the album that deal with addiction. In this one, the main character can't resist the call of the night, nor escape an endless cycle of bad decisions. He'd love to live a normal, healthy life, but simply isn't equipped. It's been too long, and whether it's trauma, compulsion or self-loathing, he sees no way out, acknowledging in the song that he'd probably not take one if offered. The video follows our protagonist around for a day as he tends to his demons, and we see his outlook change as he treats them.
This is the first Damien Done song where the music was written by someone who's... not me. Tyler, our lead guitarist, sent the opening part over and I just loved its Police-ness, so we developed it.
