Biography

Demoniac was formed in Spring 1993 by Occulta Mors, Necromanic and L.O.N.S. In summer 1993, Gaamalzagoth joined the band. Their style was changed from Doom/Death Metal to Death/Black Metal. Under this name, they released several Rehearsal/Demos.

In January 1994, Necromanic and L.O.N.S. were dismissed because they were fakes, according to the rest of the band. The band released their last demo (a compilation with recordings from 1993), and with it, they changed their name to Moonblood.

Moonblood recorded 5 official demos and 12 unofficial rehearsal tapes for their own use that do not belong to their official discography at all. The band only released vinyl and cassettes.

Moonblood disbanded in 1999, after a ten-year duty.

The band does NOT have any official website. All sites up on the net are fan sites, with no further participation of any band member.

Alleged controversy

The band was from time to time rumoured to be an NSBM band in zines and in the black metal scene due to their symbolism and usage of German, but the band has repeatedly stated their dislike of politics and disdain for racism and see it as part of the "human stupidity". Moonblood have never discussed political themes in their lyrics, and have stated that they are completely non-political and only praise "occultism, nature and medieval wars and magic".
