Beneath the Dying Moon (BtDM) is a black/doom metal project based near Newcastle, Australia. Named 'Cursed' and 'Empery of Thorns' in it's earliest incarnations, the first seeds were planted around 1990-91.
When Empery of Thorns ceased to exist, three members started under the new banner 'Beneath the Dying Moon' and recorded a very raw demo entitled 'Befallen Spirits Of Fire'. The demo was well received and various interviews were conducted within the underground 'zines of that time. Shortly afterwards Demicon and Shaun were offered to join 'Lord Kaos' in Sydney, so Belegur decided to continue with BtDM as a solo project.
Some new material was made available for d/load on mp3.com.au in 95-96, which can now be found here on this profile. Constant emails over the past ten years have thus resulted.
Belegur then had a lengthy hiatus from BtDM while he worked on other projects, including 'Dominion Of Ruin' and 'Haar' while also furthering his career. During the past few years Belegur has been busy acquiring recording equipment and instruments to re-new BtDM and other projects.
Finally, March 2006 marks the revival of Beneath the Dying Moon. 2006 also marks the return of Demicon to BtDM, thus two founding members re-unite. The line-up works as follows: Belegur (guitars, bass, drums, keys, lyrics, vocals), Demicon (vocals, logo & artworks), Duamutef (vocals). Work has begun on recording both new and old material for a release during the first half of 2007.
An official website is currently under construction at www.darkforcerecords.com
Also, you may like to sample 'Requiem Of The Damned' which features Demicon (guitars, lyrics, logo & artwork), Belegur (Type 1 - drums, keys) and three other members.

We cannot outrun them, Times of darkness always come. Whoever teaches us that it’s possible To live always in the light, lies: Where there is light, shadows fall. Where there is day, night follows.

"I am curious why we need an Australian chapter of an American sect? Could we not form our own?.. Still, it is good to see another space supporting local music." Give me time it will happen.....in the works now....
It is my pleasure, yes I'll stay tuned for great work, no, there is no such thing as a healthy "scene" in an Islamic country, I could get stoned to death for what I create and what I believe in. Salve.
