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.
Blut und Krieg
Moonblood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Der leblose Mond schiebt sich vor sie
Langsam verdunkelt sich der Horizont
Eine unheimliche Stimmung kommt auf
Grausames Kriegsgeheul
Von den gegenuber liegenden Hugeln
Schallt es heruber
Sie rusten sich fur den Angriff
Das Zeichen Gottes, das Ende ist nah
Sie kampfen fur eine langst tote Macht
Blut & Krieg
Endlich sie kommen
Gepanzerte Pferde, gepanzerte Korper
Sie sturmen den Hugel herunter
Auf unser Lager zu, doch wir sind gerustet
Unser Banner, das Pentagramm
Weht straff im kalten Wind
Umgeben von all unseren Brudern
Reiten wir ihnen entgegen
Wir werden unser Leben geben
Fur eine starkere Macht
Schwerter kreuzen sich
Sie bohren sich in das Fleisch der Gegner
Abgetrennte Gliedma?en uberall
Das Blut spritzt uns ins Gesicht
Doch das Schlachten nimmt kein Ende
An den Stielen der Axte
Klebt das Blut unserer Feinde
Das Christenbanner ist zerschlagen
Der letzte Christ zertrummert
Unsere Horde war siegreich
Blut & Krieg
The lyrics of Moonblood's song "Blut und Krieg" describe a battle scene where two opposing forces are preparing for a fight. The sun and moon are obscured, creating an eerie atmosphere. The soldiers shout war cries from the hills, gearing up for the attack. The cross, symbolizing Christianity, is juxtaposed with the pentagram, symbolizing paganism. The two sides clash in a brutal and bloody battle, with swords and axes crossing and limbs being severed. The Christian banner is destroyed, signifying the defeat of the Christian forces. The song portrays the brutality of war and the intense emotions that come with it.
The lyrics draw heavily on the pagan and anti-Christian beliefs of the band members. Moonblood was formed in Germany in 1994 and was one of the pioneers of the black metal scene in the country. The band was known for its raw and aggressive sound, and for its uncompromising lyrics and imagery. Moonblood released several albums and EPs before disbanding in 1999, after the suicide of its lead singer.
