Frontman Jukka Pelkonen shares the following thoughts on the song:
“‘Moongold‘ follows the overall style of the album. It’s fast and packed with energy, and while the song is somewhat stripped down, its layers reveal themselves after a few spins. ‘Moongold’ is one of my favorites from these sessions, and I truly hope it will make its way into our setlist in the future – this song was absolutely made with live the performance in mind.”
Adds guitarist Markus Vanhala:
“‘Moongold‘ was originally released as an ‘Eastern wonder,’ meaning a Japan-exclusive around the time the album came out. However, we ultimately decided to leave it off the album itself, as it didn’t quite fit the overall flow and we wanted the record to be a short, sharp burst of aggression. That said, the song stands very strong on its own as a melodic death metal anthem and is pure OG – perhaps a slightly more old-school version. And now, here it is, served to you and to your loved one, to these moonlit afternoons.”
