There is something deeply personal about Moodring.
Not just in the sound.
Not just in the atmosphere.
But in the intent behind it.
What began as a bedroom project for frontman Hunter Young has evolved into something far more complex. Not just a band, but a vessel for transformation, reflection, and survival.
Now, Moodring step into their most defining chapter yet with the release of their new album Death Fetish, out now via SharpTone Records.
DEATH FETISH – OUT NOW

Built From Pain, Not Performance
Moodring has always existed in a space between beauty and suffocation.
From the early days of the 2021 EP Showmetherealyou, Young created music as a form of catharsis. What started as a solitary creative outlet quickly connected with listeners, growing into something much bigger than its origins.
That evolution continued through Stargazer in 2022, a record that brought a wider audience into Moodring’s world with its immersive sound and emotionally charged delivery. The following EP Your Light Fades Away pushed that even further, blending melody, heaviness, and atmosphere into something cinematic and intense.
But Death Fetish hits differently.
This record was born out of real life struggle. A life changing medical diagnosis forced Young to step away from touring, not only with Moodring but also with his deathcore project Psycho-Frame.
Instead of stepping back, he turned inward.
A Record of Survival
Death Fetish is not about giving in.
It is about pushing through.
The album captures the feeling of losing control while still refusing to disappear. It is heavy, dark, and deeply honest, shaped by a mindset that prioritised authenticity over perfection.
“I just wanted to make a dark, honest record,” Young says. “And if people don’t like it, I don’t really care. I had to do it for myself.”
That honesty runs through every part of the album. From the layered textures to the crushing moments, nothing feels manufactured.
Young made a conscious decision to strip away artificial polish, focusing instead on real instrumentation and genuine performances.
“I didn’t want to put out an album about losing control of your body and mind and have it be fake,” he explains. “We used real amps, real drums, real takes. It had to be real.”
Moodring as a Living Entity
Moodring is no longer just a band in the traditional sense.
It has become something more fluid. More abstract.
A reflection of emotion in motion.
The name itself suggests change. Mood, colour, temperature. Constantly shifting. That concept has never been more present than it is on Death Fetish.
This is a record that embraces contradiction.
Sensual but suffocating.
Fragile but aggressive.
Dark but still alive.
A Defining Moment
With Death Fetish, Moodring have delivered their most complete statement to date.
This is not music made to follow trends.
It is not built for comfort.
It is built from experience.
From pain.
From purpose.
From persistence.
And in that, it becomes something more than just an album.
It becomes proof that even in the darkest moments, creation still matters.
