DEMONICAL BIOGRAPHY:
Demonical was
spawned in March 2006 by former Centinex members Johan Jansson (guitars
& vocals), Martin Schulman (bass) and Ronnie Bergerstål (drums)
with a mission to return to the roots of death metal and deliver a sheer dose of
darkness and brutality.
The first audio assault, a four-track promo attack entitled “Bloodspell
Divine”, was recorded at Necromorbus Studios during July the same
year. In November 2006, Demonical added vocalist Ludvig Engellau
to the line-up (because Johan wanted to fully concentrate on the six-string axe)
and signed a worldwide multi-album deal with the German label Cyclone Empire.
The band’s first full-length album, “Servants of The Unlight”, was
recorded at both Black Lounge and Necromorbus Studios during
January and February 2007 and released in April the same year.
In November 2007, Temple of Darkness released a limited Demonical/Absu
7″ EP featuring one track from the “Bloodspell Divine” promo. In December
2007, the band parted ways with vocalist Ludvig Engellau due to musical
and personal reasons.
Demonical continued for a few months with various session vocalists until
late March 2008, when Sverker “Widda” Widgren came on board as the new
fulltime frontman.
The band's second full-length album, “Hellsworn”, was recorded at
Necromorbus Studios between December 2008 and February 2009 and released by
Cyclone Empire in May 2009.
A split 7″ EP called “Imperial Anthems Vol.1” with Paganizer was
released by Cyclone Empire in early 2010. This limited vinyl featured an
exclusive Demonical track recorded at the “Hellsworn” session.
In September 2010, Demonical once again entered Necromorbus Studios
in order to record “Death Infernal”, their anticipated third full-length
album. The album was recorded throughout the fall and released in Europe by
Cyclone Empire (April 2011) and in North America by Metal Blade (July
2011).
During the fall of 2011, drummer Ronnie Bergerstål decided to leave the
band due to scheduling conflicts and he was replaced by Fredrik Widigs.
After “Death Infernal” was released the band decided to add a second
guitarist for live situations. A few session members were used at several tours
until Daniel Gustavsson joined as a full-time member during the summer
2012.
The first half of 2013 was spent at both Necromorbus and Wing Studios
in Stockholm with the recordings of the bands fourth album, “Darkness Unbound”.
After the recording a line-up change took place with Johan Haglund
replacing Johan Jansson and Ämir Batar replacing Fredrik Widigs.
“Darkness Unbound” was released worldwide in November 2013. A limited
split 7”EP with Nunslaughter, entitled “European Deathcharge”, was
released in July 2014 in support of both bands joint co-headlining tour.
In December 2014, Demonical both parted ways with drummer Ämir Batar and
guitarist Daniel Gustavsson as well as inked a new worldwide deal with
Agonia Records. The first release for their new label-home, a four track MCD
entitled “Black Flesh Redemption”, was recorded at Wing Studios in
early 2015 and released in April. The recording featured session members Eki
Kumpulainen on guitar and Kennet Englund on drums.
In early 2017, the band parted with long time vocalist Sverker Widgren,
due to time- and priority related matters, and replaced him with Alexander
Högbom. At the same time guitarist Eki Kumpulainen and drummer Kennet
Englund became permanent members of Demonical making the band a solid
and stable unity ready for the things to come. During the fall of 2017,
Demonical recorded their fifth full-length album entitled “Chaos
Manifesto” - together with the award-winning Swedish producer Karl Daniel
Lidén - for a March 2018 release through Agonia Records.
In the summer of 2019, both vocalist Alexander Högbom and drummer
Kennet Englund decided to leave the band due to time- and motivation related
issues once the touring cycle was finished. Demonical recorded their
sixth album, “World Domination”, during the summer 2020. The album was
released in October 2020, and it marked the return of original drummer Ronnie
Bergerstål and debut for new vocalist Christofer Säterdal.
As the worldwide pandemic was raging across the globe during 2020 and 2021, all
planned shows and tours were cancelled. Instead of just sitting and waiting for
better times, the band focused on writing new material and the result became
“Mass Destroyer”, the seventh full-length. “Mass Destroyer” was
recorded during the summer of 2021 with the same production team as last time,
resulting in a fresh and dynamic disc packed with Stockholm style death metal.
The album came out in May 2022 and was supported by tours and several festival
appearances.
In October 2022, Agonia Records released “In League with Death”, a
five track EP featuring rare and unreleased material.
In early 2023, vocalist Christofer Säterdal left the band due to family
related matters and was replaced by Charlie Fryksell. A new two track EP,
“Into Victory”, was released in March 2023 presenting the new line-up and
showcasing the bands path forward.
