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.

Sverker Widgren - Guitars - Main Vocals

waste time and wait, just hammer while the metal is hot!
The outcome is here, "Mass Destroyer", another vicious Demonical

Can't wait to destroy the masses!"

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 bands 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 bands 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 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 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 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.
June and July 2020 were spent with producer Karl Daniel Lidén for what
was to become “World Domination”, the bands sixth full-length. The album
will be released in October 2020 and marks the return of original drummer
Ronnie Bergerstål and debut for new vocalist Christofer Säterdal.
Over the years Demonical have played several hundred shows all over
Europe, Russia, North and South America. The band has done several tours, both
as headline and support, and played tons of festivals, both small and huge ones,
always delivering high quality brutality of finest kind.
