Cemetary is a heavy metal group originating from Sweden, created by Mathias Lodmalm in 1989.
History
During the early 1990s, Cemetary entered into a contract with Black Mark Production and launched their first album, An Evil Shade of Grey, in 1992. After releasing another death metal record, the band shifted their musical direction towards gothic metal, producing Black Vanity (1994), Sundown (1996), and Last Confessions (1997). The group took a seven-year break before reuniting in 2004 to issue Phantasma. In May 2005, Lodmalm declared his exit from the music industry, citing frustrations with business dealings.
While on hiatus, Lodmalm created albums with a similar sound under the name Sundown and also released The Beast Divine as Cemetary 1213 through Century Media.
In December 2022, Lodmalm revealed via Cemetary's Facebook page that a new album is planned for release in 2023, confirming a record contract and announcing the debut of the first new track in January 2023.
