That’s what crossover thrash band High Command say, having turned\nheads with their debut album \u003ci\u003eBeyond The Wall of Desolation\u003c\/i\u003e (2019). But it’s not solely metal music which\ninfluences the band, who cite the lustful violence of Robert E. Howard, Michel Moorcock, Jack Vance and\nmany other legendary pulp writers of the 20th century as an impetus for their expansive storytelling.\n“People would also be surprised to hear we drew quite a bit of inspiration from the music of Ennio Morricone,\nespecially in regards to writing some more of the epic, grandiose passages and chord progressions.” says\nthe band.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, with their second album, \u003ci\u003eEclipse of the Dual Moons\u003c\/i\u003e, the band take their love of storytelling a step\nfurther, deepening and widening the world of Secartha, the realm of High Command’s songs. The band\nplace themselves as omniscient narrators of the world they have created, and say that they are inseparable\nfrom Secartha and its people. “It’s one thing to make a good metal record, but it’s another to put on top of it a\nsort of overarching story that makes sense to listeners. The whole High Command project is enriched by\nlyrics articulating characters, a world, and trials faced within it. We want our records to be immersive and\nleave listeners with a feeling they’ve experienced something bigger than the music.”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s not just a question of widening the world, which the band first started exploring on \u003ci\u003eThe Secartha Demos\u003c\/i\u003e\n(2016); \u003ci\u003eEclipse of the Dual Moons\u003c\/i\u003e sees High Command honing their process to a fine art “it’s like we started\nwith chiseling a rock... this record is the moment the rock in question begins to look like an actual sculpture.” \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Lord","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50441702670667,"sku":"2000285","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"White | LP","offer_id":50441703424331,"sku":"2001965","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50441702179147,"sku":"2000284","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Eclipse_of_the_Dual_Moons_a23a038e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726985493"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/high-command.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
