New Orleans heavy rockers SUPLECS premiere the video for "Pentacle Star"!

New Orleans heavy rock trio SUPLECS exclusively present their new video for "Pentacle Star" today. The band will embark on a European tour this April with a select few shows to showcase their new studio album "Hymns Under A Blood Moon" which was released earlier this year by Ripple Music.

Their first album in fifteen years, Hymns Under A Blood Moon Sky is a gut-wrenching ride through the New Orleans trio's world — a cathartic, emotionally charged onslaught tackling death, divorce, addiction, and survival with unflinching honesty. The sound is a 100% NOLA tapestry that weaves together crushing proto-doom, brass-backed funeral dirges, punk swagger, and prog-jazz twists. Produced by James Whitten (High On Fire, Thou), Hymns Under A Blood Moon Sky is a thunderous return and perfect ode to the band’s resilient outsider spirit, forging an arsenal of riffs in secrecy to pay homage to the only home they’ve ever known.

Hailing from New Orleans and formed in 1996, Suplecs stands as a powerhouse trio in the stoner rock scene. Consisting of Danny Nick (ex-EyeHateGod), Durel Yates, and Andrew Preen, the trio forged their legacy with their first two albums on Frank Kozik's iconic Man’s Ruin Records: 2000’s “Wrestlin’ With My Lady Friend” (produced by EyeHateGod bandmate Jimmy Bower) and 2001’s “Sad Songs, Better Days” (produced by Dave Fortman of Ugly Kid Joe). This era cemented their reputation through relentless coast-to-coast tours with heavyweights like Clutch, Alabama Thunderpussy, High On Fire, Corrosion Of Conformity, Gwar and Halfway To Gone.

Their third album, 2004’s “Powtin’ On The Outside, Pawty On The Inside” was produced by another NOLA heavyweight, Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity. Unfortunately, the album failed to gain the traction it deserved as it was released on local label Nocturnal Records, which was sidelined along with the band and everyone from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina.

After a period of rebuilding, Suplecs reemerged through various appearances over the next few years at SXSW, helped by their new home Small Stone Records. In 2011, they would release their fourth album “Mad Oak Redoux” and gained a coveted High Times Magazine Award as “Stoner Rock Band Of The Year”. The following years saw them continue their musical journey with appearances at Voodoo Fest, Mutants Of Monsters Fest, and Bayou Boogaloo, along with yearly pilgrimages to their second home in Austin, Texas. Their music has been featured on TV shows such as “Dog the Bounty Hunter” and “MTV’s Fun Factory”. 

Marked by life’s passages, Suplecs have maintained a vital presence, most notably with their annual Mardi Gras show—a New Orleans staple for over 500 attendees, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025. Now, after years of fan-favorite live sets, the band is channeling decades of raw experience, swagger, and heaviness into their highly anticipated fifth album "Hymns Under A Blood Moon Sky", released in February 2026 through Ripple Music.
