Moondark Re-Issuing "The Shadowpath"
Recently reunited Swedish masters of the darkest and heaviest death metal - Moondark - will see "The Shadowpath" re-issued through Xtreem Music on May 1st, 2015. The label comments:
"Moondark was born in 1993 with members that later have played in bands like Interment, Entrails, Centinex, Katatonia, Uncanny, Dellamorte, Fulmination, and many more. They only recorded a 7-song demo in '93 that remained unreleased until 2007 when it was released on (supposedly) limited edition on CD & 12" LP with quite poor presentation.
"The style of Moondark is an incredibly heavy, rotting an dark death metal in the vein of bands like early Crypt of Kerberos, Crematory, Bolt Thrower, Eternal Darkness...
"Now 'The Shadowpath' gets a proper re-issue featuring new cover artwork by the killer artist Juanjo Castellano and a complete booklet with liner notes, lyrics, original demo cover, live photos from both their only show in '93 and their reunion show at Killtown Deathfest 2014. First will come the CD version with a limited T-shirt run and some months later there will be a vinyl version with gatefold cover and all that mentioned stuff." More...
