Demoniac evolved from the death metal band Purulent Obduction (1990-1993) which had members Occulta Mors, Necromaniac and L.O.N.S. Blacksoul (later Gaamalzagoth, real name: Mirko Schmat) joined in mid 1993. In January 1994 Necromaniac and L.O.N.S. had been kicked out and later formed Andras while the remaining members continued as Moonblood after releasing the only Demoniac-demo that was recorded still together in autumn/late 1993 (second demo comes from VHS rehearsal audio rip.).
The band only released vinyls and cassettes, Any CD pressings are bootlegs. Moonblood have recorded over 13 rehearsal tapes that at no time were any official releases and they're only done for the band members to recall their songs since there was never a usual rehearsal possible with one guy playing all instruments and they've only recorded their songs to remember for future studio sessions. A few tapes/recordings might have been spread to friends and due to massive tape trading activities of one of the members but those were the only copies that were spread among the tape trader scene.
Moonblood has split up; however, it is not known when the band actually broke up. Their last demo "Dusk Woerot" was released in 2003. Recorded in September 2000, the band was officially already dead when this recording has been done.
Apocalyptic Vision
Moonblood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
During your journey every night
A freezing wind accompanies you
Let the veil of night spirits cover you
Let them protect you
You, who is creature between man and animal,
Procreated through the sperm of Astaroth
In a night which people call unholy
Day for day you saw that illusions
And it was horrifying, cause you couldn't explain it
Today such a night opens its arms to embrace you
And you know your destiny and the reason of your existence
Your birth was cursed by holy mouths
And your existence is blasphemy in the eyes of Jehovah
But the dark necromancers enjoy your occult magic flair
Your body and your mind were prepared for this night
Under the right constellation of the planets
You will await thy supreme overlord
So step on, nearer to the light of the flames inside the shadow
Five grandmasters of witchery will await you
Inside the magic pentagram you must wait
On every edge they stand and greedy eyes observe you
Blood runs from their arms to the middle
And flames blazing high by the touch
Your mouth is calling magically the words of his arrival
And during the planets building a line
And the flames burning the blood of witchery
Thy lord rises up under a bearing thunder sky
His eyes are red blazing flames
The hoofs step on the earthly soil
And his breath burns all
He's coming to you to perform the demonic wedding
Your father will be the father of your spawn
The necromancers died, cause all blood run away
During the planets building its occult constellation
The enemy has been procreated, called the antichrist
Astaroth left this universe, back to his abyss
And inside your body the archenemy will grow
There are only a few years under the reign of the light's race
When his eyes see the light, the Christ will fall...
The lyrics of Moonblood's song "Apocalyptic Vision" describe a person's journey into an enchanted forest where they await the arrival of their supreme overlord. The person is believed to be a creature between man and animal, born through the sperm of Astaroth during an unholy night of demonic spirits. Their birth was cursed by holy mouths, and their existence is considered a blasphemy in the eyes of Jehovah. However, the dark necromancers enjoy their occult magic flair and prepare the person's body and mind for the night they will meet their overlord.
The lyrics describe a ritual where the person waits inside a magic pentagram while five grandmasters of witchery stand on every edge, observing with greedy eyes. Blood runs from their arms to the middle, and flames blaze high by the touch. The person calls out to their overlord, and during the planets building a line and the flames burning the blood of witchery, their lord rises up under a bearing thunder sky with red, blazing eyes. The overlord is coming to perform the demonic wedding, where the person's father will be the father of their spawn. The necromancers die because all their blood runs away, signaling the birth of the antichrist inside the person's body.
Overall, the lyrics of "Apocalyptic Vision" are about someone who was born as a creature of darkness and evil, waiting for their supreme overlord to arrive and fulfill their destiny. The lyrics emphasize the occult, demonic, and blasphemous nature of the ritual and convey a sense of darkness and foreboding.

Enter the enchanted forest
Begin your mystical journey
During your journey every night
Experience this nightly vision
A freezing wind accompanies you
Venture into the chilling unknown
Let the veil of night spirits cover you
Allow the spirits of the night to protect and guide you
Let them protect you
Trust in their supernatural power
You, who is creature between man and animal,
You, born of a unique and mysterious nature,
Procreated through the sperm of Astaroth
Born of an otherworldly force
In a night which people call unholy
During a night considered taboo
In a night of the demonic spirits
In a night of supernatural and occult influence
Day for day you saw that illusions
Every day, you witnessed strange and unnerving events
And it was horrifying, cause you couldn't explain it
And it was terrifying, as you lacked understanding
Today such a night opens its arms to embrace you
Today, you are welcomed by such a night
And you know your destiny and the reason of your existence
And you understand your purpose and fate
Your birth was cursed by holy mouths
Your birth was condemned by the righteous
And your existence is blasphemy in the eyes of Jehovah
And your very being is an offense to God
But the dark necromancers enjoy your occult magic flair
But the sinister practitioners revel in your supernatural potential
Your body and your mind were prepared for this night
Your physical and mental constitution were made for this time
Under the right constellation of the planets
Aligned with celestial events
You will await thy supreme overlord
You will await the arrival of your master
So step on, nearer to the light of the flames inside the shadow
Step forward towards the hidden flames
Five grandmasters of witchery will await you
Five skilled sorcerers will receive you
Inside the magic pentagram you must wait
Wait within the protective circle
On every edge they stand and greedy eyes observe you
They encircle you, their eyes hungry for power
Blood runs from their arms to the middle
Blood flows from their extremities to the center
And flames blazing high by the touch
Ignited by their power
Your mouth is calling magically the words of his arrival
You chant the mystical incantation to summon him
And during the planets building a line
As the celestial bodies align
And the flames burning the blood of witchery
And the fire ignites the sorcerers' blood
Thy lord rises up under a bearing thunder sky
Your master emerges amidst a thunderous sky
His eyes are red blazing flames
His glowing eyes are like fiery infernos
The hoofs step on the earthly soil
He descends upon the physical realm
And his breath burns all
His breath ignites all it touches
He's coming to you to perform the demonic wedding
He is coming to wed you in a dark union
Your father will be the father of your spawn
Your master will sire your offspring
The necromancers died, cause all blood run away
The sorcerers perish, drained of their life force
During the planets building its occult constellation
As the planets align in this supernaturally-charged formation
The enemy has been procreated, called the antichrist
The enemy has been brought forth, known as the antichrist
Astaroth left this universe, back to his abyss
Astaroth has returned to his dark realm
And inside your body the archenemy will grow
And the archenemy will take root within you
There are only a few years under the reign of the light's race
Only a few years remain under the current order
When his eyes see the light, the Christ will fall...
When your master prevails, the Messiah will fall...
