Experimental hip-hop legends dälek return with their latest album, "Brilliance of a Falling Moon."
The title is taken from a section of Erik Larson's 2011 novel, "In the Garden of Beasts." The album paints a fiery portrait of life and resistance in fascist America. Conceived, composed, and produced by Will Brooks (aka MC dälek) and Mike Mare, "Brilliance of a Falling Moon" is a sprawling, uncompromising album that reflects the political climate of our time.
Recorded at the group's Deadverse Studios throughout 2024 and 2025, the beats of "Brilliance of a Falling Moon" are driven by brutal, dusty drum breaks and shrouded in a menacing, otherworldly atmosphere. Brooks' rhymes target everything from the suppression of information by the state to colonialism to Trump's demonization of immigrants, and they practically burn with indignation at the current state of the world.
