DIABOLICAL BIOGRAPHY:
More than twenty years after their formation in
northern Sweden, innovative blackened death metallers DIABOLICAL proves
to be more vital than ever and puts forth “Eclipse”, a concept album
reflecting on the dark side of humanity that forces the listener to explore his
own diabolical side. The album is a tour de force with spitting musical and
aesthetic complexity swirling around a dense soundscape of excellently distilled
and refined ideas, altogether forming a rare display of musical craftsmanship
equaled by very few contemporary metal bands.
DIABOLICAL was founded in Sundsvall, Sweden back in 1996, and has since
released 5 full-length albums, in addition to two EP’s. Ever since then they
have followed no one, and no one has followed them. Already with their early
efforts “Deserts of Desolation” (mini album, 2000) and “Synergy”
(2001), DIABOLICAL stood out as something different from the death metal
bands coming up at the time, representing something unwilling to be categorized
easily. Quickly following the release of their second full length, they toured
throughout Europe several times during 2002-2003 presenting their repertoire.
Returning in 2008 with full force they delivered a milestone in their
discography. Taking their innovative death metal a huge step further, they flung
the listener into the darkest corners of the human mind, bringing to life
restrained aggression and hunger for vengeance in “The Gallery of Bleeding
Art”. The album received brilliant reviews and was followed by headline
tours throughout Europe.
In January 2011 “Ars Vitae” was released, containing 17 tracks from
different parts of the band’s career.
2013 saw the release of the band’s most ambitious album thus far.
“Neogenesis” stood out as something truly unique. The album raised the bar
for concept albums as it in addition to being a music album, it was also a
novel. Binding every song with a chapter of the book, the music, lyrics,
storytelling and philosophy of “Neogenesis” blends together to create a
profound experience that left a deep impression on fans and press. Reviews were
raving and the following European headline tours were hugely successful. The
band appeared at many festivals, toured the UK and toured Europe again
supporting Borknagar in 2016.
On their previous release, the “Umbra” EP (2016), DIABOLICAL
continued to craft inventive music, moving seamlessly between crushingly heavy
and dark to delicate and ethereal. But “Umbra” was a mere foreshadowing
of what was to come. Produced again by vocalist/guitarist Sverker Widgren
at Wing Studios in Stockholm, the new and 6th album “Eclipse”
picks up where “Umbra” left off and once again DIABOLICAL manages
to top their previous efforts.
With nine gracefully raging songs, “Eclipse” presents DIABOLICAL
as a mature and sophisticated band ascending to new heights.

DIABOLICAL ANNOUNCE NEW DRUMMER AND START EUROPEAN TOUR! [2019.03.08]
The blackened death metallers
DIABOLICAL are proud to announce that Jonathan Persson is their
new drummer!
The band comments: "We are excited to announce Jonathan as a permanent member of the band.
Jonathan has already been playing with us for nearly a year and the keen
observer will have noticed him in both the “We Are Diabolical" and
“Betrayal” videos. With excellent drumming skills and musicianship we are
eager to let Jonathan put his mark on the Diabolical sound during
the upcoming European tour and on our future projects.
As Jonathan joins Diabolical this also means that Pär Johansson
departs from the band. After a decade in the band Pär has decided to step
down as the drummer of Diabolical due to personal reasons. His musical
talent has influenced not only the rhythm section of the band but has played an
important role in the songwriting process as well. Pär leaves the band on
good terms and we wish him all the best with his future projects.
Jonathan made his live debut with Diabolical at Brutal Assault
Festival last year and we are now looking forward to kick-start the
Eclipse tour cycle with him behind the kit, starting on Friday together with
Septicflesh,
Krisiunand Xaon"

Rui Gonçalves (RüPä), founder of this non-profit metal support agency
comments: "It's a true honour for Nekronos Promotion to announce the
cooperation with the Bringers of Doom Abyssic, the ultimate alliance of
veteran Norwegian extreme metallers!
I was impressed with their work since my very first listening of their
astonishing debut full-length "A Winters Tale", an album that was presented to me
as the latest work from some members of our already supported band Susperia, I
was completely blown away by such colossal piece of doom/death metal, some of
the best I heard on the last years, but still the best was yet to come with the
new opus "High the Memory" that I dare to say that is among my favourite pieces
on it's genre, Abyssic have taken doom/death metal into an absolute new
level, sadly not all will understand it! "
ABYSSIC founding member Memnock comments on this news:"We
are proud to announce that Abyssic is now supported by NeKronos and his team of
promoters around the globe. Regards"

The band comments about the new drummer: "Firstly, if you have seen the
band live you might have noticed an unintroduced member holding down the drums
since our first live show.
That mysterious, rhythmic beast is known as Steve
Pygmalion and we are proud to announce we are permanently chaining him
to his from drum throne and admitting him to the asylum... with no hope of
release!
(...) To celebrate this, Steve Pygmalion has spent this past weekend
hammering down all drum tracks in Wing Studios."

"We would like to thank Angst for his contributions and time with us.
He was clear from the beginning that he would not be assuming a full-time part
in the band but his stellar work on the first album is massively appreciated. We
wish him all the success he deserves with his other great projects which can be
checked out here:
