Supermoon
Crobot
"Supermoon" is the fourth studio album by Crobot, the hard rock band from Pottsville, Pennsylvania, released in 2019 on Crypt Keeper Records. The album arrived as something of a recalibration for the band following some lineup changes, with vocalist Brandon Yeagley and guitarist Chris Bishop remaining as the creative core alongside a refreshed rhythm section. Produced with a sound that balances the band's foundational classic rock and funk-metal influences with a somewhat more polished and accessible approach than some of their earlier work, "Supermoon" demonstrates Crobot's continued commitment to the kind of riff-heavy, groove-driven hard rock that had built them a devoted following on the North American touring circuit. The record draws clear inspiration from the golden era of heavy rock — Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and early funk-influenced metal all cast long shadows over the proceedings.
The album showcases Yeagley's formidable vocal range, which remains one of Crobot's most distinctive assets — a supple, powerful instrument capable of moving from soulful, melodic passages to full-throated rock howling within a single song. Bishop's guitar work is similarly impressive throughout, delivering thick, satisfying riffs alongside more intricate lead playing that gives the album genuine depth beneath its immediate, visceral appeal. Tracks like "Low Life" and "Keep Me Down" exemplify the band's ability to lock into a groove and ride it with infectious confidence, while other moments on the record explore slightly more varied sonic territory without losing the thread of what makes Crobot compelling.
