LUNA SOL is a highly regarded high mountain stoner blues rock band led by seasoned singer and lead guitarist DAVID ANGSTROM, renowned for his work with bands such as Hermano, Asylum On The Hill, Black Cat Bone, John Garcia, and Supafuzz.

Now in their 14th year, LUNA SOL continues to deliver their signature blend of Heavy Blues inspired by the High Desert. Their most recent release, *Vita Mors* (2024) on Ripple Music, is a critically acclaimed 15-track album that encapsulates Appalachian and Colorado influences, featuring powerful, fuzzy riffs and introspective lyrics exploring themes of life and death. The album has been praised as a “masterpiece” within the genre, blending southern groove with hard rock elements. Critics have awarded it a perfect 10 out of 10, calling it “heavy blues rock at its finest” and “a generational album.”

*Vita Mors* (2024) was recorded at DAVE’S home studio in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and was mixed and mastered by JASON GROVES (former member of Supafuzz and Asylum On The Hill) in Lexington, Kentucky.

To bring *Vita Mors* to life, ANGSTROM enlisted the talents of drummer ZETH PEDULLA and bassist DOUG TACKETT. Following the album’s release, JASON GROVES assumed bass duties for the band. Known for his dynamic playing style, JASON brings a compelling energy to the group, and his chemistry with ZETH and DAVE is immediately evident during live performances. Their collaboration seamlessly captures the camaraderie and enduring friendship that underpins the band’s spirit, with ZETH providing energetic rhythm and a positive presence.

LUNA SOL reflects ANGSTROM’s desire to evolve creatively while honoring his Kentucky roots. JASON and ZETH craft intricate layers of sound that alternate between intensity and subtlety, providing a solid foundation for ANGSTROM’s dynamic riffs, storytelling, and noise.

The band’s music often draws from Colorado and Kentucky culture and folklore, creating a distinctive narrative often delivered with ANGSTROM’s characteristic intensity. Following previous albums *Blood Moon* (2015) and *Below The Deep* (2017), *Vita Mors* (2024) continues the musical journey. With new projects—an EP and a full-length album tentatively scheduled for 2027 on Ripple Music —LUNA SOL remains dedicated to exploring their musical roots while venturing into new sonic territories.

The essence of LUNA SOL can be likened to a late-night drive through the Rocky or Appalachian Mountains—an expansive landscape of riffs, vibes, and compelling blues rock with roots in lifelong friendships and a shared passion for powerful riffs. The band collaborates with friends from Hermano, Supafuzz, Disengage, Black Stone Cherry, Asylum On The Hill, Kingfish, Guns N’ Roses, Kyuss, the Kentucky Headhunters, and Queens of the Stone Age, cultivating a familial atmosphere in their music.

ANGSTROM has expressed: “The riffs are flowing, the tones are massive, and the fun continues.”
