MOONSHADE REVEAL NEW VIDEOCLIP FOR "SUN DETHRONED"!
[2019.03.29]

Melodic Death Metal band MOONSHADE from Portugal have released an astonishing new videoclip for the title track of their debut full-length "Sun Dethroned", out since October 2018 via Art Gates Records. The new and amazing video was directed by no other than Guilherme Henriques who is famous for his work with bands such as Belphegor, Hideous Divinity, Malevolent Creation, Noctem, etc.

Check out "Sun Dethroned" Videoclip at the link below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJNgU_wkCCY





"Sun Dethroned" album is “a conceptual work that deals with a two-sided personification of the human condition, in the form of two romantically involved main characters that symbolize the abstract concepts of ‘good’ and ‘evil’: Lenore and God of Nothingness, the latter represented in the album cover”. As MOONSHADE further explain:

“Throughout this piece a story is told of which the most important events are the death of Lenore (“good”), that leads God of Nothingness (“evil”) towards a spiraling descent into wrath and madness, eventually consuming all reality, including himself, finally abandoning his pitiful existence in a sea of regrets where, in essence, he mourns his lost love and mourns the innocence of his madness. In short, Sun Dethroned functions as a parabola that highlights the need for balance while firmly stating the cost of its absence.” [ Source : NO CLEAN SINGING ]

1. God of Nothingness
2. The Flames That Forged Us
3. Lenore

I was truly impressed since the very first listening of their amazing debut album "Sun Dethroned" that was, in our opinion, one of the best Portuguese releases for 2018. I admire allot their combination of melodic elements with some of the best death metal sound we have heard this last years. Moonshade are crowned as one of the best new Portuguese bands out there in our opinion, enthroned with such amazing creations, both beautiful and chaotic, both melodic and vicious, Moonshade bring fourth an heartfelt addictive musical experience towards it's listeners, an experience that will leave a mark and you shall not forget.
Since debut album presentation in Lisbon I knew that not only we are dealing with amazingly talented and inspired musicians, but also with awesome people with similar musical taste! Couldn't do other than to support their work ever since!"

MOONSHADE singer and founding member Ricardo Pereira comments on this news: "We are huge and long-time fans of the work developed by Nekronos Promotion Hell.

BIOGRAPHY:

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

MOONSHADE FINISH IBERIAN TOUR!
[2019.11.11]

Portuguese sensation melodic death metal band MOONSHADE have finished their co-headline Iberian tour with their countrymates APOTHEUS.

"The Dethroning Stars Tour is now in the books - a grand total of 7 shows across the Iberian Peninsula, a whole lot of miles on the road accompanied by long nights of intense celebration.

We would like to thank our brothers from Apotheus for all the friendship and comradery during the time we spent together, through thick and thin. As roadmates, we forged a bond that will never be erased.

We would also like to show our eternal appreciation to every single fan that came to see us play, bought a piece of merch, and/or stuck around to talk to us after each show. As always, your unending support for this project leaves us speechless.

This picture represents one of the most iconic moments of communion between musicians and fans during this iberian incursion. Here, we are accompanied by our friend Alberto Angular, after he granted us the pleasure of inviting us to his amazing restaurant in Valencia, La Piedra Angular. If you're a heavy metal fan, you should stop by. If you're a Quentin Tarantino fan, then you definitely should stop by.

Be sure that the future holds a lot of exciting things for us here at the Moonshade camp. We have begun preparations for a tidalwave of interesting developments, which will bestow upon our loyal wraiths in the coming year.

No rest for the wicked." MOONSHADE | ANNO MMXIX
