| Band biography Upload photo |
They played their first gigs at the Guitar Player Club in Barcelona and recorded their first demo titled “Things can Change” at the end of 2001.
In 2003 new songs were written for their next demo while a lot of rehearsals were done with a few bass players. The band bought some new material and began to work hard for the recording sessions.
While looking for a bass player they met Jordi Ricol and played together as the support act for an Anathema gig in Barcelona’s Razzmatazz 2 on June ’04. Jordi joined Moonloop since that show as their definitive bassist. Two cd singles were distributed for free at Moonloop shows with many cool reviews on musical press and also on the Web.
In March 2005, a live DVD was filmed at Metal Zone club in Barcelona and the band released it a few months later. For the recording sessions for their next demo Moonloop invited two musicians for a short colaboration: Pablo Selnik played flute on two tracks and Monique Van der Kolk (ex-Stygian Lake) recorded backing vocals. Finally, “Release from Duality” demo was completed at the end of 2005, though the sound quality, unfortunately, is not quite good.
2006 saw Moonloop playing more gigs than ever: Kanya a Sant Climent Festival (with bands like Baalphegor, Golgotha, Moksha or Deathless ), support act for the norwegian band Leaves’ Eyes (ex-Theatre of Tragedy) and many more in the Barcelona´s area.
In January 2007 the recording process for the third demo began with songs coming from a more Death Metal-oriented style. New influences were found for their lyrics, like mother earth, the climatic change or paleontology, for example.
Jordi left the band on June and Dani (Romanthica, Lux Divina) joined Moonloop as their new bassist.
Recently Moonloop have finished "True Nature Revealed", their third demo. A videoclip for the song "Strombus" is on the works and a new live dvd is also taking form. For the present year the band is focusing on playing live, while plans for the next recording sessions will take place sometime over Spring 2008.
