SECRETS OF THE MOON Announces New Guitarist

January 16, 2010

German progressive black metallers SECRETS OF THE MOON have recruited their live guitarist Ar as a permanent member of the band.

Commented mainman sG: "After nearly 60 shows with this guy, we can assure that he's the right person for this job.

"We always wanted the band to be complete again but we were careful. He went through a lot of highs and lows, through darkness and light with us. He succeeded and became a grand fellow. The time has come to offer him a permanent position within our circle. Welcome!

"I started working on on the follow-up of [2009's] 'Privilegivm' (working title: 'Seven Bells'). We are going to enter the studio in summer 2010.

"I feel it will become a very special album for the band. Much is going to change, much is getting even deeper and disruptive. We are alive. Moreover, I worked on some special releases with Stefan Belda (Prophecy Productions).

"People might not believe in the releases of 'Antithesis' and 'The Ambience Of A Dead Star' on our all-beloved format any longer, but it's going to happen soon. And there's even one more oddity to be released.

"Everything occurs at the right time... ."

SECRETS OF THE MOON is:

Ar - Guitar
LSK - Bass
sG - Guitar and Vocals
T. Thelemnar - Drums

"Privilegivm" was produced by Markus Stock and was mastered by Peter in De Betou at Stockholm, Sweden's Tailor Maid Production.

SECRETS OF THE MOON belongs to the most prestigious group of bands in the German black metal underground, with their first demo release dating back to 1995. The band was formed out of the ashes of one of the very first black metal outfits stemming from German scene, MARTYRIUM.
