Damien Zev Moyal (born September 25, 1976) is an American singer, lyricist, musician, songwriter, and designer. Originally from Amstelveen, Netherlands, he relocated to the United States during childhood and was raised in Miami, Florida. He served as the lead vocalist for influential hardcore punk and metallic hardcore groups such as Shai Hulud, As Friends Rust, Morning Again, Culture, Bird of Ill Omen, and Bridgeburne R. Since 2006, Moyal has been based in Ann Arbor and established the gothic rock/post-punk ensemble Damien Done.
Moyal's initial musical ventures included the hardcore punk outfit U.S. Decline (1992–1993), the hardcore band Insist (1993), the metallic hardcore group Reach (1993–1994), and the groove metal project HandOverFist (1994). He subsequently led the vegan straight edge metallic hardcore band Culture (1994–1995, 1996–1998), releasing material through labels like Uprising Records, Good Life Recordings, and Toybox Records. He also took part in Culture's reunion from 2012 to 2016, issuing releases via Eulogy Recordings. After departing Culture in 1995, Moyal co-founded the melodic metallic hardcore band Shai Hulud (1995–1996), contributing to demos and securing a contract with Revelation Records. His recordings with Shai Hulud appeared on labels including Revelation, Asian Man Records, and Metal Blade Records.
During his time with Shai Hulud, Moyal created the metallic hardcore band Morning Again (1995–1996), recording for Conquer the World Records and Good Life Recordings before signing with Revelation Records. He reunited with Morning Again for performances in 1999, 2002, and 2014. After exiting both Shai Hulud and Morning Again, he initiated the sludge-metallic hardcore project Bird of Ill Omen (1996–1997) but left prior to studio sessions; his lyrics were later utilized by the band's second vocalist on releases through Eulogy Recordings. Simultaneously, he joined melodic hardcore side-project As Friends Rust (1996–1997), which dissolved following a demo tape release.
In 1997, Moyal moved to Gainesville, Florida, where he revived As Friends Rust (1997–2002), which became his primary focus for five years. The group released music through Good Life Recordings, Doghouse Records, Initial Records, Defiance Records, and Equal Vision Records. As Friends Rust reassembled again in 2008 and continues to be active into the 2020s. Following Culture's dissolution in 1998, Moyal formed the brief-lived metal band Some Sort of Radio (1998–1999) alongside former members and musicians from Assück. In 1999, he created old-school hardcore punk side-project Bridgeburne R (1999–2000). After leaving As Friends Rust in 2002, he launched the gothic rock/post-punk solo venture Damien Done, which eventually grew into a full band. Returning to Miami in 2004, he joined acoustic folk duo Goodnight at the End of the Tunnel with Kaleb Stewart (2005) as well as short-lived metallic hardcore band Best Wishes (2006). Upon relocating to Ann Arbor in 2006, he formed DJ duo Old Man Underground (2008). Moyal reunited with former Culture members in the hardcore band On Bodies (2009–2017), releasing music under Eulogy Recordings and Demons Run Amok Entertainment. Since 2022, he has been involved with death metal band Ekstasis alongside drummer Fred Estby and heavy metal group Caskette.
Initial Bands: U.S. Decline, Insist, Reach, and HandOverFist (1992–1994)
Moyal's musical journey began in 1992 when he joined U.S. Decline, a hardcore punk group based in Miami, introduced to the band by drummer Steve Blanchard. Prior to Moyal's involvement, most members had performed under the name Midget Stew but with a different frontman. The lineup featured guitarists Sal Lopez and Francis Alvarez alongside bassist Sky Rheam, who would continue to collaborate with Moyal in future projects. Although U.S. Decline produced rehearsal demos, they refrained from live performances and did not record an official demo until mid-1993, by which time Scott Pellicane had taken over vocal duties.
In 1993, Moyal and Rheam established Insist, a heavier Miami hardcore outfit that included Alex Martinez (later known for Makeshift and Sunday Driver) as vocalist and guitarist, guitarist Manny Avila, and drummer Doron Lev. Insist performed only once on September 11, 1993, sharing the stage with U.S. Decline and others, and recorded a rehearsal demo that was never released.
By October of that year, Moyal, Rheam, and Avila departed Insist to create Reach, a metallic hardcore band which incorporated drummer Louie Long and co-lead vocalist Joel Pelkey—both formerly of Organized Pain alongside guitarist John Wylie. Reach’s sole performance took place in November 1993 with bands such as Tension, featuring Wylie and future Shai Hulud collaborator Matt Fox. In the summer of 1994, Moyal briefly participated in HandOverFist, a groove metal project formed with former Trauma members John Paul Guy and Alex Garbutt.
Culture (1994–1995, 1996–1998, 2012–2016)
In September 1994, Moyal became part of Culture, a metallic hardcore band from Pompano Beach, Florida. This group was founded in December 1993 by guitarist Richard Thurston (previously of Timescape Zero and Ego Trip), drummer Joshua Williams, and original vocalist Mark Mitchell. The lineup had undergone several changes and included guitarist John Wylie from ex-Tension and Organized Pain. By 1994, Culture had released both a demo tape and a 7-inch single while preparing to record their debut full-length at Studio 13 in Deerfield Beach with producer Jeremy Staska.
With Moyal joining the band, Culture embraced veganism and the straight edge lifestyle, recording their first album Born of You under Staska’s production. Unsatisfied with the initial recordings, they rewrote and re-recorded the album twice over two months. The lyrics reflected Moyal’s personal hardships through somber themes. The final version was signed by Conquer the World Records from Redford, Michigan and released on CD and vinyl in June 1995. Additionally, Culture contributed four more songs for compilations and a split 7-inch with emo band Roosevelt via Intention Records; one track also appeared on Uprising Records’ Ceremony of Fire compilation.
Disagreements with guitarist Wylie led to Moyal leaving the band before Born of You was officially released. Culture toured during summer 1995 with Louie Long as vocalist before reinstating original singer Mark Mitchell. The album garnered acclaim and saw multiple reissues through labels such as Good Life Recordings, Demons Run Amok Entertainment, and Contraband Goods. Following an unsuccessful 1996 tour promoting the Deforestation EP—which contained lyrics penned by Moyal—Culture relocated to Gainesville, Florida and invited Moyal to return as their vocalist.
Upon rejoining late in 1996, Culture signed deals with Belgium’s Good Life Recordings and Chicago’s Toybox Records. They revisited two earlier tracks at Goldentone Studio with producer Rob McGregor for an intended 7-inch EP; these recordings later appeared as bonus material on the Heteronome release. Early in 1997 saw them touring the US East Coast and Midwest while recording new songs for a split release with Belgian band Kindred alongside producing the Heteronome EP.
During mid-1997, Culture performed at prominent US festivals such as Syracuse Hardcore Festival and Indianapolis Hardcore Festival before embarking on a three-week European tour with Kindred to promote their split release along with Heteronome on Good Life Recordings. After lineup shifts including departures of Thurston and Dooley, former Morning Again bassist Christopher "Floyd" Beckham and Roosevelt drummer Timothy Kirkpatrick joined the group. This formation recorded seven tracks at Goldentone with McGregor: five re-recordings from Born of You, one new composition, plus a Judge cover intended for an unreleased project titled either Reborn of You or Mike Warden Can Suck It. This project ultimately remained shelved under Toybox Records.
At the end of 1997, Culture was slated for a month-long European tour alongside punk band Gang Green but was dropped following Gang Green’s refusal to perform with a straight-edge group. Instead, Culture appeared at Chicago Hardcore Festival and Gainesvillefest in December. A planned two-month North American tour with Shutdown in spring 1998 was canceled after their van malfunctioned en route to the opening show. They later returned to Europe for a four-week tour between August and September 1998—including Ieperfest—but disbanded shortly afterward.
Culture reunited for several shows starting September 2012 through July 2016. In September 2012, Eulogy Recordings issued From the Vaults: Demos and Outtakes 1993–1998, compiling twelve tracks featuring Moyal’s vocals. The band recorded a new EP in March 2015 for UK-based Carry the Weight Records.
Shai Hulud (1995–1996)
During the late summer of 1995, Damien Moyal established the metallic hardcore group Shai Hulud alongside guitarists Matt Fox and Dave Silber, with Jason Lederman on drums.[1][2] Shortly afterward, Lederman was replaced by Steve Kleisath, and when Silber transitioned to bass, rhythm guitarist Oliver Chapoy came on board.[3] The band recorded six tracks with producer Jeremy Staska at Studio 13 in Deerfield Beach, Florida, and made their live debut on October 31, 1995.[1][4]
Their demo recording caught the attention of Rob Moran from Revelation Records's subsidiary Crisis Records, resulting in a contract signed in early 1996.[5] Nevertheless, disagreements between Moyal and Fox led to Moyal stepping down in spring 1996; he suggested fourteen-year-old Chad Gilbert as his successor.[1][6]
Moyal's original lyrics were featured on two songs from Shai Hulud's first EP, A Profound Hatred of Man (released February 18, 1997), as well as four tracks on their debut full-length album, Hearts Once Nourished with Hope and Compassion (issued November 4, 1997), both under Crisis Records.[7][8] In August 2001, Sub City Records and Asian Man Records included "Sauve Qui Peut," recorded during the 1995 sessions, on their compilation Plea for Peace/Take Action.[9]
The entire set of original recordings from 1995 was later compiled into A Comprehensive Retrospective: or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Release Bad and Useless Recordings. Initially slated for release through Fox's Ides of March label in 2000, it was ultimately issued by Revelation Records alongside Fox's At Dawn We Wage War imprint on January 25, 2005.[10][11] This release encompassed the demo tracks, four rehearsal recordings featuring Moyal’s vocals, and a voicemail message from Moyal to Fox.[10][4] Moreover, the original version of "Hardly" was included on an Australian Various Artists compilation released by Trial & Error Records in 2005.[12]
Subsequently, Moyal made a guest vocal appearance on Shai Hulud’s song "Medicine to the Dead," which appeared on their fourth studio album Reach Beyond the Sun, released through Metal Blade Records on February 15, 2013.[13][14]
Morning Again (1995–1996, 1999, 2002, 2014)
In December 1995, while still a member of Shai Hulud, Moyal became part of a new metallic hardcore group initiated by former Culture members guitarist John Wylie and drummer Louie Long. Despite earlier disagreements between Moyal and Wylie, they sought to make amends, which inspired the lyrics for Morning Again's debut track, "Turning Over". The initial lineup also featured guitarist Michael Wolz and bassist Eric Ervin, who collaboratively composed five songs before recording their first EP, The Cleanest War, at Studio 13 with producer Jeremy Staska in January 1996. Two months later, they laid down two additional tracks for a self-titled 7-inch vinyl issued by Intention Records on May 1, 1996. Shortly after, The Cleanest War was released on CD and 12-inch vinyl through Conquer the World Records on May 15. To support these releases, the band embarked on tours across the US East Coast, Midwest, and Canada. Not long after these events, Moyal was removed from the lineup due to ongoing disputes with Wylie.
Achieving international acclaim, Morning Again became the first American act to sign with Belgian label Good Life Recordings in late 1996. Good Life issued the compilation Hand of Hope in January 1997, gathering all tracks featuring Moyal's vocals. These recordings were later re-released on the CD compilation Hand of the Martyr, co-published by Eulogy Recordings and Alveran Records on April 30, 2002, coinciding with a reunion show. Additionally, Moyal's vocal contributions were repackaged on the 12-inch vinyl compilation I, released by Germany’s Demons Run Amok Entertainment on September 25, 2015.
Moyal has sporadically reunited with Morning Again for live performances. In December 1999, he appeared for two secret shows under the names Hand of Hope and Cleanest War in Florida. On June 15, 2002, the band performed again as Hand of Hope at Orlando Magicfest. His latest appearance with Morning Again took place at Ieperfest in Ypres, Belgium on August 9, 2014.
Fork in the Road and Bird of Ill Omen (1996–1997)
Only two months after departing from Morning Again, Moyal established the North Miami-based sludge metal/metalcore group initially named Fork in the Road, which was soon renamed Bird of Ill Omen. The ensemble included guitarists Joseph Simmons (who later joined Morning Again, Culture, and As Friends Rust) and José Martinez (later part of Poison the Well), bassist Thomas Rankine (who went on to play with As Friends Rust and Further Seems Forever), and drummer George Rios (formerly associated with Floor and Brethren). Earlier that year, Martinez, Rankine, and Rios had performed together in the emo band Crestfallen.
Between late 1996 and early 1997, Bird of Ill Omen developed material intended for a full-length album while sharing stages locally with bands such as Shai Hulud, Morning Again, Discount, Strongarm, Vision of Disorder, Earth Crisis, Zao, and Cavity. By late 1996, Moyal was balancing his involvement among Bird of Ill Omen, As Friends Rust, and Culture. The group experienced lineup changes when former Morning Again bassist Peter Bartsocas replaced Martinez in November 1996; additionally, second vocalist Rob Ogman joined at that time. In March 1997, Simmons was dismissed to rejoin Morning Again; Andrew Logan (ex-Crestfallen) took his place. Opposing Simmons’ removal—which occurred without his consent—Moyal subsequently exited the band.
At that stage, Bird of Ill Omen had composed six songs featuring Moyal’s lyrics for their debut album. New vocalist William Shane Post utilized Moyal’s original lyrics for three tracks on Self, Dare You Still Breathe?, which was released on CD by Eulogy Recordings in February 1998, on 12-inch vinyl through Think Tank Records in July 1998, and later on cassette via Contraband Goods in October 2021. The band also incorporated logos created by Moyal across most releases and merchandise.
As Friends Rust (1996–1997, 1997–2002, 2008–present)
In September 1996, Damien Moyal established the melodic hardcore group As Friends Rust in Davie, Florida, alongside guitarist Henry Olmino, bassist Jeronimo Gomez, and drummer Matthew Crum. The band's name was inspired by lyrics Moyal had written in 1995. They recorded six tracks in November 1996 with producer James Paul Wisner; three of these were included on a demo tape. By spring 1997, this initial lineup disbanded as members moved on to other projects such as Red Letter Day and The Rocking Horse Winner.
Moyal reassembled As Friends Rust in Gainesville, Florida, recruiting members from the band Culture. In March 1998, they recorded "Home Is Where the Heart Aches" with producer Rob McGregor, featuring backing vocals from Hot Water Music members. This track, combined with four earlier recordings, comprised their first EP, The Fists of Time, which Good Life Recordings released in July 1998. To support the EP, the band toured the United States alongside Discount and Dillinger Four.
Following lineup adjustments, As Friends Rust recorded "The First Song on the Tape You Make Her" for a split release with Discount in December 1998. The two bands then embarked on a joint European tour from December 1998 through January 1999. In spring 1999, As Friends Rust signed with Doghouse Records in the US and recorded six songs that were issued as a self-titled EP in September 1999; however, Good Life Recordings mistakenly promoted it under the title God Hour in Europe.
The band toured the US East Coast in June 1999 and then Europe during July and August of that year, performing at festivals including the Good Life Midsummer Hardcore Festival and Ieperfest. Plans for a combined tour with Hot Water Music fell apart due to disagreements, leading to separate tours. In October 1999, Japanese label Howling Bull Entertainment released a compilation titled Eleven Songs.
In 2000, As Friends Rust toured with Fast Times and Good Clean Fun and appeared at events such as Krazy Fest 3. Doghouse Records reissued The Fists of Time in June that year. To promote the reissue, they toured the US with Strike Anywhere. Good Life Recordings also invited them to perform at European festivals including Dour Festival and Metropolis Festival during the summer.
Their five-week European tour in August 2000 featured shared performances with Grade and Ensign as well as appearances at Ieperfest and TurboPunk Festival. However, internal conflicts resulted in three members quitting midway through the tour.
Moyal restructured As Friends Rust by bringing in new personnel like Christopher "Floyd" Beckham and Alexander Vernon. In March 2001, they released the Morningleaver / This Is Me Hating You seven-inch record. After further lineup changes, they recorded their first full-length album Won in July 2001 with producer Wisner. The album was released in October through Doghouse Records (US), Howling Bull Entertainment (Japan), and Defiance Records (Europe), featuring additional contributions from Matthew Crum and Chad Neptune.
To support Won, As Friends Rust conducted extensive tours across the US and Europe throughout late 2001 alongside bands such as Vangard, Keepsake, Further Seems Forever, and Strike Anywhere. Their London performance was filmed and later distributed on DVD by Punkervision.
In February 2002, they recorded six tracks for Equal Vision Records; however, ongoing internal tensions led Moyal to lay down vocals separately before departing to focus on his education. These recordings were released as A Young Trophy Band in the Parlance of Our Times in May 2002 by Equal Vision (US) and Defiance (Europe). The group continued briefly with new vocalist Adam D'Zurilla before changing their name to Salem in September 2002.
In March 2008, Moyal announced a reunion of As Friends Rust featuring the lineup from 1998 to 2000 for several European performances. They played six shows across Europe including Ieperfest and also performed a US show in Gainesville. By 2011, they began working on new material but ultimately were dissatisfied with the demos produced.
In June 2014, As Friends Rust toured Japan with support from local hardcore acts Endzweck, Noy, and Nervous Light of Sunday. That year Japanese label Cosmic Note issued a best-of compilation titled Greatest Hits?, selecting tracks from their recordings between 1996 and 2002 curated by Moyal. The compilation was later released on cassette by Indonesian label D'Kolektif and on vinyl by Dutch label Shield Recordings in April 2015.
The band performed three shows in 2015—including appearances at Saint Vitus (Brooklyn), Groezrock (Belgium), and The Fest (Gainesville). German label Demons Run Amok Entertainment released The Porch Days: 1998 to 2000 on vinyl featuring studio recordings plus previously unreleased live tracks from that period. They returned for another trio of shows in 2019 at Brooklyn’s The Kingsland and Hamburg’s Booze Cruise Festival.
In July 2020, As Friends Rust unveiled two new tracks—their first fresh material in nearly twenty years—on the seven-inch Up from the Muck via Unity Worldwide Records. By September 2021, Moyal confirmed that work had begun on a new full-length album.
Bridgeburner R (1999–2000)
During the summer of 1999, Moyal established the hardcore punk group Bridgeburne R, enlisting As Friends Rust's bassist and backing vocalist Kaleb Stewart, drummer Bill Clower from Radon, and former Speak 714 guitarist Eryc Simmerer. In September 1999, they recorded eight songs at Goldentone Studios, featuring tracks such as "T.V. Gone Awry" and "Myth of Terrorism." These recordings were issued a year later by the Belgian label Genet Records as the band's only album, titled What Do You Know About Bridgeburne R? 1986-1992 The Singles Collection.
To promote this release, the band crafted a fictitious history portraying themselves as a defunct Texas-based hardcore punk outfit active between 1986 and 1994. The album's liner notes suggested it compiled rare tracks from long out-of-print late 1980s and early 1990s releases, including split records with Born Against and Nausea. Additionally, the press materials claimed Bridgeburne R had headlined tours alongside prominent groups such as Black Flag, Bad Religion, Negative Approach, Biohazard, and Nuclear Assault during the period from 1985 to 1994.
To support the album, Bridgeburne R embarked on a three-week European tour from September to October 2000 with American hardcore band Fall Silent. Shortly before the tour commenced, Stewart departed from the group and was succeeded by Mykel Tre Beaton on bass.
Rubbers and Damien Done (2002–present)
Following his departure from As Friends Rust in February 2002, Moyal initiated solo projects under the name Rubbers, which was later rebranded as Damien Done. The band quickly secured a contract with Belgian label Good Life Recordings, featuring Moyal on vocals and acoustic guitar, accompanied by drummer/keyboardist Matthew Crum, electric guitarist Juan Montoya, and guitarist/bassist James Paul Wisner, who also produced their six-track debut EP Love Thongs in September 2003. Although planned for an April 2004 release as a CD/DVD package, the EP remained unreleased for more than ten years.
While awaiting this release, Moyal expanded the lineup to include drummers Jon Marberger and Jason Lederman, bassist Dan Bonebrake, and guitarist Ariel Arro. Collaborating with Arro, Damien Done contributed a cover of Integrity's "Eighteen" to Escapist Records' tribute compilation in 2007.
Eventually renamed Stay Black, Love Thongs was released on 12-inch vinyl by German label Demons Run Amok Entertainment in July 2016. This was accompanied by a 7-inch vinyl containing new tracks "He Really Tried" and "And Now the Rain," recorded with drummer Timothy Kirkpatrick and bassist Mike Hasty.
In December 2016, Moyal reassembled Damien Done with drummer Benjamin Moore, guitarist Andrew Dempz, and bassist Laura Jane Leonard. The band signed with California-based Mind Over Matter Records in 2017, issuing a 7-inch single featuring "Curious Thing" alongside a Killing Joke cover. Their first full-length album, Charm Offensive, was released in March 2018 on vinyl through Mind Over Matter Records and Belgium’s Hypertension Records. The album launch was supported by a nine-date European tour that included an appearance at Ieperfest.
On February 14, 2020, Damien Done unveiled the digital EP Baby, Don't Hearse Me, followed by another digital EP titled To Night in May; physical versions were subsequently distributed by Contraband Goods and co-released by Mind Over Matter and Speedowax Records throughout 2020–2021. November 2020 saw the arrival of the three-track Demos from the Year 2020, previewing their forthcoming album Total Power. In February 2021, they released a cover version of Iggy Pop and David Bowie's "Nightclubbing."
The single "Pray for Me" debuted on January 31, 2023, ahead of the anticipated May 19, 2023 release of Total Power through Mind Over Matter Records.
On Bodies (2011–2017)
In 2011, Moyal reunited with former Culture member Richard Thurston to establish the hardcore outfit On Bodies, a collaboration initially conceived in 2009. The duo recorded nine tracks with Thurston performing all instrumental parts, leading to an immediate signing with John Wylie's label Eulogy Recordings.[15] For the EP launch performances in February 2012, drummer Julio Marin along with guitarists Richard Walbert and Chad Kishick joined the lineup.[16] Their first EP, Planet Hospice, was issued on CD by Eulogy Recordings and on vinyl through American Enemy Records.[17]
The complete band later recorded five songs for their sophomore EP, The Long Con, which was initially released on vinyl in May 2013 by the German label Coffee Breath and Heartache,[18] followed by a March 2015 release from the American label Irish VooDoo.[19][20] Irish VooDoo also handled the vinyl release of their third EP, Unremarkably Mortal, in August 2015; this record was once again recorded as a duo with Thurston playing all instruments.[21]
In March 2015, On Bodies toured Japan to support the compilation Unremarkably Mortal + The Long Con, distributed on CD by Cosmic Note.[19][22] At that time, the band featured Moyal on vocals, Thurston and Zachary Colina on guitars, Josh King on bass, and former Culture drummer Joshua Williams. Later in 2015, Williams was succeeded by Boone Haley and King was replaced by Megan Schroer. The German label Demons Run Amok Entertainment released the compilation on vinyl in September 2015.[16][22]
Ekstasis (2022–present)
April 2022 saw Moyal join forces with Canadian multi-instrumentalist David Williams to create the death metal band Ekstasis. They produced a four-track demo featuring "Magmatic Decimation," "Paralyzing Impermanence," "Holes," and a cover of Morgoth's "Eternal Sanctity." This collection was issued as their debut EP Paralyzing Impermanence on cassette and digital formats through American label Unspeakable Axe Records on October 28, 2022. Prior to this release, Swedish drummer Fred Estby became part of the group.
Other bands and guest contributions
Moyal's lesser-known metal endeavor Some Sort of Radio (1998–1999) included guitarists Joseph Simmons and Robert Proctor, bassist Gordon Tarpley, and drummer Bradley Bulifant. Named after an unreleased As Friends Rust track, this project never entered the studio nor performed live.
Beyond As Friends Rust and Bridgeburne R., Moyal extensively collaborated with Kaleb Stewart. In 2002, he co-produced Stewart's band Grey Goose's unreleased Love EP and provided vocals. In 2005, they formed the acoustic duo Goodnight at the End of the Tunnel, releasing the single "Lately It's the Cross," produced by Moyal. That same year, Moyal also produced and contributed to Stewart's acoustic venture Bread Riot.
Following his departure from As Friends Rust in 2002, Moyal lent guest vocals to Gainesville pop punk group Loyal Frisby's track "Deceitful Happiness and Made Up Pain," recorded at Goldentone Studios and released on a split CD.
In 2003, guitarist Juan Montoya contributed to Damien Done's Love Thongs EP; subsequently, Montoya invited Moyal to provide guest vocals on Pandabite's "Painkiller," recorded that year and included on their sole EP Doom Box.
Before relocating to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2006, Moyal briefly played in Miami’s metallic hardcore band Best Wishes alongside guitarists Richard Walbert and Ariel Arro, bassist Chad Kishick, and drummer Brian Ray.
Throughout 2008, under the moniker DJ Done alongside Nik Fortman (Dead Nik), Moyal hosted Old Man Underground—a series of classic punk and metal club nights held in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Moyal has also contributed guest vocals for Belgian metalcore outfit Deconsecrate’s "Planetary Holocaust" on their 2015 album Nothing Is Scared (Good Life Recordings), French metalcore band Lazare’s "Mass Murder of Clear Minds" from 2016’s From Hate... With Love (Terrain Vague), American musician Nathaniel Shannon & The Vanishing Twin’s "Mater Suspiriorum" featured on the 2020 concept EP The Three Mothers (Aqualamb Records), as well as American electro-pop artist La Femme Pendu’s "La Somnambule" from her 2021 album Vampyr.
