"Moon Blood" is a powerful CD reissue of the cult early-1970s heavy rock album by Fraction, brought back to life by specialist label Riding Easy. Marked by raw, fuzz-drenched guitars, intense organ lines and a dramatic, emotional vocal delivery, the record fuses proto-metal, psychedelic rock and hard-driving blues into a dark, spiritual and highly atmospheric journey. The songs unfold in long, dynamic arrangements that move from slow-burning introspection to explosive climaxes, giving the album a timeless, immersive feel that will appeal to fans of early heavy rock, underground psychedelia and seekers of rare, deep-cut gems.
This CD edition by Riding Easy focuses on high-quality audio and a presentation that respects the obscure, collector's-item status of the original release. The label is known for unearthing lost and overlooked heavy rock, doom, psych and hard rock records, carefully reissuing them with audiophile-minded mastering and attention to historical detail. With "Moon Blood", Riding Easy once again demonstrates its commitment to preserving heavy rock history and making once-impossible-to-find albums accessible to a wider audience of enthusiasts.
Fraction are an obscure but highly respected name in collector and underground rock circles. Active in the early 1970s, the band crafted a unique sound where heavy guitar riffs, dramatic vocals and spiritual overtones intersected with psychedelic and proto-metal influences. Their limited original pressings made their work extremely rare for decades, turning "Moon Blood" into a sought-after artifact. Although they never achieved mainstream success, Fraction's music has gained lasting cult status, repeatedly praised by connoisseurs of heavy psych and early hard rock for its intensity, emotional depth and distinctive atmosphere.
This CD release of "Moon Blood" is ideal for listeners who appreciate dark, soulful heavy rock with a vintage edge, as well as for collectors who value carefully curated reissues of important, previously hard-to-find albums. Riding Easy's expertise and Fraction's haunting, powerful music combine to create a release that feels both historically important and strikingly alive today.
