SECRETS OF THE MOON Parts Ways With Guitarist, Vows To Carry On

July 18, 2008

German progressive black metallers SECRETS OF THE MOON have parted ways with guitarist A.D.

A.D., who had significant input in the songwriting for the band's latest album, "Antithesis" (2006),explains his decision: "Due to my all-dominant negativity, I cannot extract a single good aspect from representing my music live on stage any more. Thus the time on the road has been horrible for me. After I hit rock bottom the last time I decided to stop it all."

SECRETS OF THE MOON mastermind sG (guitars, vocals) comments: "I feel like a shadow these days. Humble, yet having the will to appear more potent than ever when all this struggle is endured one day. A.D.'s leaving is comprehensible for all people involved in the band, still it hits us with an intensity which consequences are not foreseeable yet."

SECRETS OF THE MOON has vowed to carry on and perform all previously scheduled dates, including this weekend's Rock Harz open-air festival, which is being held July 17-19 in Osterode/Förste, Germany.

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.
