Additional notes

Moonreich was founded in 2008 as a solo project, lead by Weddir who composed the first EP “Zoon Politikon” that was released on the french label “Infernal Kommando”. In order to promote this new release, a single concert took place in Paris in June 2009 with a non-permanent line-up.

Once this EP was out, Weddir went on composing the first album of the band and finally record it in october 2009. After many delays, “Loi Martiale” was finally released in january 2011 on the italian label De Tenebrarum Principio that provides worldwide promotion and distribution.

While the recording of the album was still in process, Weddir started looking for musicians to promote Moonreich’s music in France and foreign countries. Around 800 CDs have been sold since the release, which is quite substancial in the underground music world for a first black metal album.

At the end of 2011, Moonreich recorded a new EP named “Curse them”, that includes four tracks more dissonant and brutal than “Loi Martiale”. The digital version was released in april 2012 while the actual CD came out in september 2012 on the french label Mortis Humanae. Many reviews have emphasized the originality and the strength of Moonreich’s new material.

Moonreich is currently working on the second album that is due to be released in March 2013.

After having shared stages with many renowned bands and toured with Cruxifiction in April 2012, Moonreich is ready to strike other countries with its unholy black metal.
