death black metal
For twelve years already, DIABOLICAL have caused confusion among the narrow-minded, constantly progressing, refusing to do the expected.
Already with the early efforts Deserts of Desolation (mini album, 2000) and Synergy (2001) it was obvious that DIABOLICAL stood out as something different from the death metal bands coming up at the time, representing something unwilling to be categorized easily. The reception from fans and media was very good, resulting in a lot of coverage in major metal press at the time.
Following the success of the second full-length album A Thousand Deaths (2002) the band toured Europe several times in 2002-03 with Amon Amarth, Vomitory and Defleshed among others, co-headlined Open Hell festival (2002) and Kaltenbach Open Air (2003) and played several other festivals as well. The albums were later re-released in South America, and both albums were released in the States as well.
Since 2004 the band have only done few live appearances mainly due to Widgren's intense and increasing work schedule producing other bands at his Necromorbus Studio.
But now, after several years of record label related problems, DIABOLICAL are back to deliver a new milestone in their discography. Taking their innovative death metal a huge step further they plunge the listener into the darkest corners of the human mind, bringing restrained aggression and cravings for vengeance to life in The Gallery of Bleeding Art.
