Final Gasp Biography
“There’s a lot of music out today that seems soulless. I can’t connect with it. But everyone seems
to think almost every band is ‘good.’ Are they? They don’t seem like they’re talking about
anything.”
That’s FINAL GASP vocalist and guitarist Jake Murphy talking about a problem that his own
band definitely doesn’t have. On their debut full-length, Mourning Moon, the Boston-based
death rock dealers take on the weightiest of topics. “The whole record has to do with loss,”
Murphy explains. “The title comes from that anxious feeling you have when you go to bed and
you’re thinking about everything all at once. You’re regretting decisions you’ve made—or didn’t
make—and you’re up all night thinking about it.”
A harrowing journey through all things Hardcore, Metal, and Goth, Mourning Moon drags the
listener through the dark in 12 thrilling tracks, and drives a stake right into the heart of 2023's
most compelling releases.
The foundation for Mourning Moon was built by two EPs—2019’s Baptism of Desire and
2021’s Haunting Whisper—both of which were born in the November-coming-fire of Glenn
Danzig’s death rock legacy. In fact, Murphy and his bandmates—drummer Eric Lester, synth
player Alex Consentino (a.k.a. dungeon synth overlord Ozeregroth), bassist Sean Rose, and
guitar player James Forsythe—earned a reputation for drenching themselves in fake blood
onstage.
