Toledo, OH – Prepare for a thunderous plunge into the primordial mind as Black Moon Cult release their latest single “Stoned Ape” , now streaming worldwide on all major platforms.

This heavy psychedelic anthem rips open the doors of perception with its fuzz-drenched riffs, trance-like grooves, and searing cosmic energy. Inspired by the controversial Stoned Ape Theory —the idea that psychedelic mushrooms accelerated early human consciousness— “Stoned Ape” soundtracks an evolutionary mind trip through rhythmic chaos and cosmic revelation.

“Stoned Ape” is about that spark—the moment our ancestors stepped outside the food chain and into abstract thought. It’s not just about evolution, it’s about awakening,” says frontman Kaleb Riser .

Black Moon Cult fuse elements of doom, heavy psych, prog, and desert rock , delivering a signature sound steeped in the lineage of Black Sabbath , Captain Beyond , Nebula , and Hawkwind , yet visionary in scope and scale.

The single offers a preview of the band’s debut full-length album , Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig) , arriving September 4, 2025 via Black Doomba Records , with an exclusive Bandcamp pre-sale launching August 15, 2025 .

The album—an epic tale woven with Lovecraftian cosmic horror, ancient myth, and biblical revenge—promises to be a hallucinogenic journey for fans of The Sword , Mos Generator , and early Pink Floyd .

Produced by Black Moon Cult , recorded at The Mohawk Studio by S. Daley , and mixed/mastered by Tony Reed (Saint Vitus, Mos Generator), the album delivers an immersive sonic landscape of massive riffs and swirling atmospheres.

Since forming in 2021, the band— Kaleb Riser (vocals, guitars, synth), Kevin Lewis (bass, synth), Jeff Vandebussche (drums), and Logan Mais (synth, theremin)—has built a powerful live reputation, including a standout performance at Maryland Doom Fest 2024 , and shared stages with The Obsessed , Today is the Day , and The Atomic Bitchwax .

Black Moon Cult's “Stoned Ape” is out now. Plug in and let the evolution begin.
