The Waning Moon
– A Dream Or A Vision
(album)(Release/Review)
Release Date: 7 September 2023
Deep, enthralling vocals harmoniously blend with melodic guitar riffs, while somber piano melodies add to the traditional Goth atmosphere. Pounding drum beats topped off with haunting lyrics propel each track forward, creating a captivating sonic narrative.
The standout for me has to be “Annabel”, a track that delicately balances every aspect of Goth music to create an enigmatic soundscape. Its awe-inspiring arrangement is a testament to the remarkable talent of The Waning Moon.
Staying true to form, the next track that stands out, “Die Caroline”, continues to deliver a thrilling musical experience. Its crescendo introduction launches into a chilling melody underpinned by heart-rending lyrics.
The Waning Moon have made one thing abundantly clear: they are here to stay.
If you’re looking for a fabulous start to your gothic rock collection, this is definitely the album you need.

Die Goth-Rockband The Waning Moon hat gerade ihr Debütalbum A Dream Or A Vision vorgestellt.
Lyrisch wandert das Album durch dunkle und eindringliche emotionale Landschaften, tragische Liebesgeschichten und tiefe dunkle Introspionen. Mehrere Lieder mit mehreren verschiedenen Bedeutungen, die dem Zuhörer eine persönliche Interpretation ermöglichen.
The Waning Moon ist eine reine, kompromisslose, gitarrenbasierte Gothic-Rock-Band, die auf die Klänge der Gothic-Rock-Szenen der 80er und 90er Jahre mit ihrer eigenen modernen Version des Genres zurückgeht.
A Dream or a Vision wird über Danse Macabre Records veröffentlicht und enthält zehn Tracks von reinem Goth-Rock von Anfang bis Ende.
The Waning Moon is an international collaboration of Ariel Maniki (Costa Rica) of Ariel Maniki and the Black Halos, and Zac Campbell (USA) of The Kentucky Vampires. Ariel commands vocals, Lyrics, additional guitars, programing, keys, and live rhythm guitars; while Zac controls guitars, drums, programing, keys, bass guitar, and live guitars. Live shows include support from Ian Joseph on live bass, and Maggie Campbell on live keyboards.
A Dream or a Vision, the band’s debut full length album released through Danse Macabre Records is 10 tracks of pure goth rock from start to finish.
Reminiscent of the likes of Nosferatu, Christian Death, The Mission, Suspiria, and other similar names in the gothic rock scene – all while maintaining the bands own modern and unique sound. Hammering drums, driving bass, beautifully layered guitars, ethereal and emotional keyboards and synths, and haunted vocals give the album a distinct and dark sound.
