Avesta / Sweden based Doom / Deathers MOONDARK have been signed by Cyclone Empire. The band’s first ever official album is scheduled for a 2016 release. MOONDARK’s current line-up consists of Alexander Högbom (vocals, VOLTURYON, SPASMODIC, OCTOBER TIDE, CENTINEX), Mattias Norrman (guitars, OCTOBER TIDE, ex – KATATONIA, INTERMENT, DELLAMORTE), Johan Jansson (guitars, INTERMENT, PARASIT, ex – DEMONICAL, REGURGITATE, DELLAMORTE), Allan Lundholm (bass, INTERMENT, ex – CONVULSION, CIRCLE OF CHAOS) and Kennet Englund (drums, INTERMENT, DEMONICAL, CENTINEX, ex – UNCANNY, DELLAMORTE). At the end of August 1993 MOONDARK entered Soundline Studios in Avesta and recorded 7 songs with engineer Per Samuelsson for a demo that was simply entitled “Demo # 1”. 14 years later Swedish Dreamtide Music resurrected these old recordings and released them as a limited edition CD entitled “The Shadowpath”. The demo also got released as a digipak CD by No Colours Records and on LP via Temple Of Darkness in 2007. In May 2015 Xtreem Music re-issued “The Shadowpath” on CD with new artwork made by Juanjo Castellano. This release was completed with a bio, photos and all the lyrics. A vinyl edition will follow in 2016. For more information check out www.facebook.com/moondark666
