are you?
Sisyphus, punished by the gods for his pettyness, doomed to a kafkaesque
existence?
Or Prometheus, punished by the gods for the glory of bringing Fire to Man?
Enter the second single from 'As We Set The Skies Ablaze', to be released in one
week. Where Epitaph called for the salvation of Mankind from the natural
hecatomb it created, "Blood Of The Titans" screams for our redemption
through saving us from ourselves.
Join us in the revolution to end all revolutions.
You are expected."
Tracklist: 1.
Epitaph 2. Valley Of Dying Stars 3. Blood Of The Titans 4. The Shadows Of My Dissent 5. Artemis 6. The Antagonist 7. As We Set The Skies Ablaze 8. Everlasting Horizons 9. A Treatise Of Human Nature
Besides 'Epitaph', four more singles will be released before the album drops.

Absurdum.
The album was mixed and mastered by our household fader overlord, Afonso
Aguiar from
Titanforged Productions.
Drums were entirely composed and recorded by Diogo Mota.
Artemis and A Treatise Of Human Nature feature lead vocals by
Sandra Oliveira (Blame Zeus, Perennial Dawn), who also contributed with back
vocals in Valley Of Dying Stars and Everlasting Horizons. The

RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR "EPITAPH"! [2021.04.08] Portuguese melodic death metal band MOONSHADE
have released their new music video for the single "Epitaph".
The band comments:"Around 2050, the most dire consequences of global
warming will be irreversible. By then, a quarter million people will perish
yearly as a direct consequence.
Yet, there is still time. We are incredibly proud to share this song with you,
hoping that you will share it, and its message, with the world.
Protest, make your leaders know your vote depends on their grasp on carbon
emissions.
Vote, get informed and support political associations with a true climate agenda
based on the current scientific consensus.
Rise above this fate most dire we forged for ourselves.
Otherwise, consider this our 'Epitaph'.
Join us in the revolution to end all revolutions - the one that will save all there is to save.
You are expected."

NeKronos Promotion is Proud to present the band of the NeKroWeek, they areMOONSHADE,
they are one of the most promising Portuguese melodic death
metal bands out there. Their debut album "Sun Dethroned"
has received the best reviews from
worldwide media. This is a band in ascension, already detaching from the
majority of new bands that we laid our ears into. MOONSHADE
is a band capable of bringing beauty within chaos, death and despair... a delightful melodic death
metal experience for adepts and a highly recommended band for all those out
there seeking to listen to elite quality music with an heart and soul attached
to it!
In 2010, guitarist Pedro Quelhas and drummer Cristiano Brito left
gothic rock band Deep Cut, determined to venture into a new project. Soon
after, they joined forces with guitarist Dinis Martins, bassist Rúben
Oliveira and lead singer Ricardo Pereira, and founded Moonshade.
Influenced at first by northern Europe’s recent wave of melodic death metal
bands, and with a clear goal of combining melodic and extreme elements, they
released “The Path Of Redemption”, their first EP, which came out solely
in digital format and was produced by Pedro Quelhas himself. After a few
concerts, came the first lineup changes: Cristiano and Rúben left
the band and bassist Afonso Aguiar joined the ranks.
In 2014, the band released their second EP, entitled “Dream | Oblivion” –
their first work to be released in physical form. The album, which featured
Luís Neto as a session drummer, was also produced by Pedro Quelhas,
and its release was accompanied by the release of the “Goddess Eternal”
single, as well as the addition of drummer Sandro Rodrigues to the lineup.
In 2015, guitarist Daniel Laureano and keyboard player Nuno Barbosa
joined the band, marking the dawn of a new era for Moonshade, who
spent the next couple of years performing on some of Portugal’s biggest stages,
such as Vagos Open Air, Pax Julia Metal Fest and Morbid Spring Fest,
among others.
At the tail end of 2017, Afonso left the band and keyboardist Nuno became
the band’s new bass player, a function he accumulated with his former one. This
lineup recorded the “Sun Dethroned” album, the band’s debut full length.
The record, a conceptual piece exploring the balance between good and evil, and
its necessity in life, was released by Spanish label Art Gates Records,
in 2018.
After a string of successful shows and Sandro’s departure, the band
announced their first international shows, as part of the Dethroning Stars
Tour, alongside fellow northern Portuguese band Apotheus, and
featuring Diogo Mota as a live drummer.
Already peeking at their tenth anniversary, Moonshade are more alive than
ever, in their constant aim to musically redefine the beauty within chaos, death
and despair
