Diminished Fifth Records has announced that Nova Scotian thrashers BLACK MOOR will be joining their growing roster and releasing their debut album ‘The Conquering’ on Tuesday, August 25th. The long overdue album almost didn’t see the light of day after the band was in a near fatal automobile accident in June 2008. Now fully recovered, Black Moor have been continuing to impress audiences with their stunning live performances which most recently led them to be crowned the winner of the Molson Canadian Rocks Battle of the Bands in Nova Scotia and a finalist in the regional contest to open for rock legends Kiss.
"We're very excited to be working with Diminished Fifth for this release.” said bassist Rob Nickerson “It's really a pleasure to work with a label that has the same passion for heavy music that we do." Josh Hogan who runs the east coast label commented, “We welcome Black Moor with open arms to the D5R Family. Their live performances are nothing short of amazing and they are one of the few ‘buzz bands’ that actually deserve the hype.” Hogan added “Thanks to our new Canadian distribution deal with Sonic Unyon / Universal Music Canada we look forward to spreading the growing word of Black Moor throughout this nation and beyond.”

Formed in 2005 Black Moor are quickly becoming one of the fastest up and coming names in the Canadian underground metal scene, having shared the stage with such titans as Anthrax frontman Joey Belladonna, Martyr, Toxic Holocaust, Rammer, Goat Horn, Cauldron and Priestess. Drawing inspiration from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, 80’s thrash and some progressive rock, Black Moor plays melody driven metal with a combination of wailing twin lead guitars and neck snapping riffage.
