Underrated Old School Death Metal - MOONDARK



This is not your typical Swedish death metal.

Moondark only ever recorded one demo, but it is excellent.

“Demo #1” a.k.a. “The Shadowpath” was originally released in 1993.

Seven tracks of doomy, dark material with low growls and a rotten production.

Could be filed next to the likes of Eternal Darkness, Sororicide, Accidental Suicide…

You can listen to it below, and hunt down a copy here.

Banished By Sin is album number thirteen from these death metal legends.
