Black Moth was a metal and stoner rock ensemble originating from Leeds, England. Drawing inspiration from influential bands such as Black Sabbath, Mastodon, Red Fang, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, they established a distinct presence within the heavy music genre.
Throughout their career, the group produced three studio albums, each crafted under the guidance of producer Jim Sclavunos (known for his work with Grinderman and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds). Initially formed as a four-piece, guitarist Nico Carew joined in 2014 but departed a year later to concentrate on his other musical endeavor, X-Ray Cat Trio. He was succeeded by Federica Gialanze. Their sophomore release, Condemned to Hope, featured artwork by the acclaimed illustrator Roger Dean and garnered a range of reviews from publications including TeamRock, Prog, and PopMatters, spanning from mixed to favorable.
In September 2019, Black Moth declared their decision to disband, arranging a final performance scheduled for December 6 of that year.
