Moss Grew on the Swords and Plowshares Alike is the tenth studio album by American avant-garde metal band Kayo Dot. It was released on October 29, 2021 via Prophecy Productions.[1] It reached number 100 in the German Top 100 album charts for the first time during the week after its release, November 5, 2021.[2] It is the first album since 2006's Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue to feature founding member Greg Massi.
The album was released to critical acclaim, with many celebrating the band's foray into a more doom metal-influenced sound. Metal Injection gave Moss an 8.5/10, describing it as "surreally gothic" and claiming that it "epitomizes why Kayo Dot remains a laudable one-of-a-kind project".[3] Everything is Noise praised the album, dubbing it both "one of the best Kayo Dot records" and "a thoroughly amazing album" wherein "the reward is proportional with your investment".[4]
