Battleroar

Battleroar “Blood of Legends” is certainly one of the strongest Epic Metal releases of the last few years. New singer Gerrit Mutz (of Sacred Steel fame) pleases his fans and surprise the skeptics once again delivering the goods with a very convincing and inspired performance. This excellent recording, enriched by delicate violin melodies and the thunderous performance of an entire set of classical players, will leave you breathless.

The German press is already favourably impressed:

“Zusammen mit der neuen Cobra-Scheibe für mich in diesem Monat die Pflichtkauf-Kandidaten im klassischen Sektor.” (Mega-Metal)

“Gänsehautmomente garantiert!” (Rock Hard, D)

“Erst ein wunderschönes folkiges langes Instrumental, bevor die True-Metal-Battle beginnt!” (Bleeding4Metal.de, D)

It includes over 60 minutes of music and will be also officially released on May 2nd. Pre-orders are available at our webstore now. Besides the digital, the CD comes in digipack compact disc with 16-page booklet and double gatefold vinyl editions. Read more “VESTAL CLARET and BATTLEROAR open PRE ORDERS”

The Cult of Vestal Claret: streaming and free download

We are pleased to offer the first song off Vestal Claret’s upcoming release in streaming and free download!

The title track “The Cult of Vestal Claret” is one of the strongest compositions on the album. Enjoy its monolithic yet eclectic rhythmic session, the dark, precise and cutting riffs, and the charismatic, preaching voice of Phil Swanson, the Ceremonial Master of The Cult of The Vestal Claret!

The album has been recently described by UK’s  Doom Metal Heaven as “the jangling melancholy of Trouble, the epic stomp of Candlemass, the creative freedom of Sabbath, add a big handful of classic 1980′s metal and off they go, exploring places where no light shines.“

We believe the description fits quite well with what you listened on this premier of “The Cult of Vestal Claret”.

Release-date: May 2nd Available in CD | LP | DIGITAL

Pre-orders soon on www.cruzdelsurmusic.com ! Pre-sale at Keep It True Festival, April 25/26!

VOID MOON reveals “Hammer of Eden” the first song off their debut album “On the Blackest of Nights”.

VOID MOON reveals “Hammer of Eden” the first song off their debut album “On the Blackest of Nights”.
“Hammer of Eden” it’s the opener of the album and can be streamed on Cruz Del Sur Music’s bandcamp complete with lyrics.

Void Moon’s bass player Peter Svensson explains why Hammer of Eden was chosen as the opening track of the album: “it’s the most direct and headbanging- friendly song on the album. An up-tempo song with a very heavy chorus to create the feeling of a massive hammer crushing the earth!“.
“On the Blackest of Nights” will be released worldwide by Cruz Del Sur Music on the 2nd of November in Europe and 6th of November in USA.

An official release party for “On the Blackest of Nights” will take place in Malta at V-Gen, Saint Julian, to coincide with the Malta Doom Metal Festival 2012.


Void Moon was formed in early 2009 by bassist Peter Svensson and vocalist/guitarist Jonas Gustavsson along with drummer Thomas Hedlund. A first demo was released during the spring 2010, later released as a 4-track 7” EP entitled “Through the Gateway” 7″ EP by the German label Metalbound Records. Following the release, Erika Wallberg joined the band as lead guitarist and in April 2011, a second demo was released, entitled “The Mourning Son”.
