Take old school death metal, add a healthy dose of groove, a pinch of thrash and round it up with a lot of
melody…and you’ll get the powerful essence of Desdemonia:
Death/Thrash/Melodic Metal w/ Rock n’ Roll attitude!
Desdemonia’s latest and fourth longplayer “Anguish” has been released on the 23rd March 2018 via Denmark’s
premier metal label Mighty Music.
Legendary Swedish producer Fredrik Nordström (At The Gates, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Opeth, Dimmu Borgir,
Hammerfall, Architects, …) has mixed and mastered the 9 new songs at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden
to give the album the massive, aggressive yet clear sound it deserves.
On their new record, the quartet yet again combines catchiness with raw, vicious riffage and grim weighty vocals,
while more quiet and melodic moments give their music the right dynamics. The aggressive and gloomy
atmosphere is being underlined by lyrics that explore the fears and dark thoughts of the human mind. This
contemporary issue being universal, all four band members shared their thoughts and contributed to the lyrics.
Influenced by the early and mid-nineties American and European death metal scene, Desdemonia‘s sound can
be described as a mix of catchy stuff like Amon Amarth, straight forward At The Gates-like beats and more old
school oriented melodies and groove in the vein of Dissection or Bolt Thrower. However, Desdemonia never try
to keep pace with changing trends but cut their own path instead.
With a new record under their belt Desdemonia played large amount of shows in 2018/2019 and took the stage
at festivals like MetalDays 2019 (Slo),RUDE Festival (Ger), Metal Embrace Festival (Ger), Majales Fest (Cz), A
Chance for Metal 2019 (Ger), Mahlström Open Air (Ger), Schlacht um Otzenhausen (Ger) …. Over the years
the band has shared the stage with bands like Arch Enemy, Kataklysm,Tiamat, Dimmu Borgir, Decapitated,
Vader, Ektomorf, Apocalyptica, Heaven Shall Burn, Unleashed, Soilwork, Krisiun, Primordial, Suffocation,
Gorefest, In Extremo, God Dethroned, Hail of Bullets, Dismember, Sinister, Mayhem, Loudblast, Dagoba, Evil
Invaders.
Over the last two decades, the pioneers of the Luxembourg metal scene have built up a strong fan base in the
metal underground, releasing a demo and four studio albums.
Summer of 2018 saw the release of the full-length documentary movie “Desdemonia – Cross the Line” with live
music & interviews on the band and the Luxembourgish metal scene .
Desdemonia are excited to share their powerful new album with new fans and to conquer new territories;
determined to put their mark on the death metal scene
