VOID MOON reveals “Hammer of Eden” the first song off their debut album “On the Blackest of Nights”.
“Hammer of Eden” it’s the opener of the album and can be streamed on Cruz Del Sur Music’s bandcamp complete with lyrics.

Void Moon’s bass player Peter Svensson explains why Hammer of Eden was chosen as the opening track of the album: “it’s the most direct and headbanging- friendly song on the album. An up-tempo song with a very heavy chorus to create the feeling of a massive hammer crushing the earth!“.
“On the Blackest of Nights” will be released worldwide by Cruz Del Sur Music on the 2nd of November in Europe and 6th of November in USA.

An official release party for “On the Blackest of Nights” will take place in Malta at V-Gen, Saint Julian, to coincide with the Malta Doom Metal Festival 2012.


Void Moon was formed in early 2009 by bassist Peter Svensson and vocalist/guitarist Jonas Gustavsson along with drummer Thomas Hedlund. A first demo was released during the spring 2010, later released as a 4-track 7” EP entitled “Through the Gateway” 7″ EP by the German label Metalbound Records. Following the release, Erika Wallberg joined the band as lead guitarist and in April 2011, a second demo was released, entitled “The Mourning Son”.

PAGAN ALTAR “Judgement of the Dead” CD out 28/9/2012

In 1998 Pagan Altar released their first CD in order to put an end to the circulation of unauthorized bootlegged recordings.  When the material was sent out, the name of the album was arbitrarily changed to “Volume I” and manufactured this way, thus giving to the release the name it was known until today.
Therefore for our edition we decided to use the original title as it was meant to be, the original cover artwork and the appropriate song name for “Dance of the Banshee” (instead of “Acoustics” which was another arbitrary decision taken by an “angel” in disguise) as well as a new mastering which gives a fresh sound to this material.
Moreover the packaging includes 16-page booklet with a selection taken from the “Behind the Cloak”’s book, which explains much of the atmosphere surrounding the recording of this material, and anecdotes about one of the most intriguing band ever came out of England.

Please note that Shadow Kingdom Records releases “Judgement of the Dead” in US, with a different layout (only the layout, not the contents) from our edition.

Swedish epic doom metal sensation VOID MOON is currently completing the recordings of “On the Blackest of Nights“, their full length debut album at the Night Wind Studios, Malmö, Sweden.

Void Moon was formed in early 2009 by bassist Peter Svensson and vocalist/guitarist Jonas Gustavsson along with drummer Thomas Hedlund.
A first demo was released during the spring 2010, later released as a 4-track 7’’ EP entitled “Through the Gateway” 7” EP by the German label Metalbound Records.
Following the release, Erika Wallberg joined the band as lead guitarist and in April 2011, a second demo was released, entitled “The Mourning Son”.

Void Moon draws inspiration and strength from the old gods of Black Sabbath and Candlemass empowered by torchbearers like Solitude Aeturnus and contemporary bands like Hammers of Misfortune and Grand Magus. The songs are written in the early doom vein and the lyrical themes surround Crowley’s teachings, horror stories, death and philosophy.

“On the Blackest of Nights” will be released by Cruz Del Sur Music on November 2nd 2012 in Europe and on the 6th in United States and it will be available on a limited digipack edition, vinyl, regular jewel case and digital.
