Kirk Gauthier Cover songs can be really fun. Sometimes it’s nice to hear an updated version of a song you love that’s just pure worship of the original. Sometimes it’s cool to hear a completely new take on a tried and true classic. This album is full of both, and everyone will likely find a different song that just clicks for them. Because that’s the beauty of music: everyone hears it differently, even though we’re all listening to the same songs. Favorite track: Fearless [Pink Floyd].

about

*previously unreleased

released March 3, 2023

Argonauta Records presents the covers compilation 'Magick Sun & Mystic Moon,' featuring 18 acts from the long-running Italian label's roster, diverse in sound and celebrating influences both glaringly obvious and wholly unexpected. From The Doors and Stooges and KISS to Billy Joel (?!), Darkthrone, The Smiths and Candlemass, artists from a wide swath of styles and legacies are honored by denizens of one of the heavy underground's most vibrant imprints.

Partnering with respected heavy blog The Obelisk (theobelisk.net), Argonauta brings forth new and unreleased tracks from the likes of Ancient VVisdom's Nathan Opposition, who bookends the release in the opening and closing spots, as well as Drive by Wire from the Netherlands, Temple of Deimos, Blues Weiser, Autumnblaze, Mos Generator, Hebi Katana and Mitochondrial Sun, and rare and previously-issued works from Snail, Shadow Witch, Indigo Raven, When the Deadbolt Breaks, Dee Calhoun (ex-Iron Man, current Spiral Grave frontman), Deep Space Mask, Buzzard Canyon, Mourn the Light, The Black Legacy and Sator.

In being utterly packed with righteous executions and aesthetic breadth, 'Magick Sun & Mystic Moon' is nothing if not representative in its entirety of Argonauta's ethic of supporting artists and groups united by passion and quality more than aural homogeny. But if it's raw heavy you seek, there's plenty to go around.

"18 Artists from our stellar roster joined forces to give life to a wonderful compilation made of a wide range tunes and bands being honored," says Argonauta boss Gerolamo Lucisano. "As the label, we are extremely proud of their top quality songs and effort, especially as the project was started and assembled during the difficult times of the pandemic era."

Begun in 2012, Argonauta Records approaches its 11th year of existence having already contributed significantly to the sphere of underground rock and metal. A somewhat light-hearted concept to contrast with difficult times, 'Magick Sun & Mystic Moon' reminds listeners as well as the parties involved in making it that it's both okay and necessary to step outside one's normal methods and expressive ideologies, to challenge convention inside and out, and at the most basic level, to have fun doing it.

That spirit is palpable here, and we hope you experience it as well in listening. Thank you for your support.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎 Rinchen Choesang
