Introducing the new album by American heavy rock giants MOON DESTROYS!

Introducing the new album from American heavy rock giants MOON DESTROYS — featuring current and former members of Torche, Abrams and Royal Thunder. An electrifying mix of post-grunge, riff-doom and driving psych, OMNI condenses the expansive soundscapes of previous album She Walks by Moonlight into more immediate parts, delivering the breadth of its genre possibilities in a fast and energetic manner. After a successful year touring with Elder, Dozer and The Sword, founding members Juan Montoya (ex-Torche) and Evan Diprima (Gold Pyramid, ex-Royal Thunder) enter 2026, welcoming back Zach Amster (Abrams) on lead vocals and rhythm guitar. Energetic and hungry, the thunderous trio are now ready to enter their new chapter unleashing their infectious brand of heaviness upon the world!

Out September 4th via Blues Funeral Recordings.

Formed by legendary guitarist Juan Montoya (a founding member of Torche) and drummer Evan Diprima (Gold Pyramid, Royal Thunder), MOON DESTROYS released their first EP Maiden Voyage in 2020. The 5-song debut featured contributions from Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and Bryan Richie (The Sword) and laid a foundation that would come fully into focus in April 2025, when the band was thrust into the limelight supporting Elder just as they were self-releasing their debut full-length She Walks By Moonlight. This shimmering blend of post-rock, riff-doom and shoegazy psychedelia stood as a cinematic and otherworldly journey from a band who breeze into the environs of My Bloody Valentine, The Cult, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Ride.

Capping off 2025, MOON DESTROYS was invited to support Swedish icons Dozer on their long-awaited US tour, while Blues Funeral Recordings gave She Walks By Moonlight a proper worldwide reissue in October, just in time for a coveted run of dates with The Sword. Their next full-length will be released in September 2026, with touring in the US and overseas to follow.

About the album and lead single, guitarist Juan Montoya states, "OMNI is a universe built upon constantly shifting sands, written by three souls who still believe heavy rock can save this damned world. The first taste, “Flowers”, introduces Zach on vocals, and it's soothing lava to the ears. We are ecstatic to reveal the new album to all of you, come celebrate with us when we hit the road starting this fall!"
