Cemetary (band)

Cemetary was a Swedish gothic metal band founded by Mathias Lodmalm in 1989.[1] A few years later, they signed a contract with Black Mark Production and released their debut album An Evil Shade of Grey in 1992.[1] The band recorded one more album before moving from death metal into a gothic metal style with Black Vanity (1994),[1] Sundown (1996) and Last Confessions (1997). After a seven-year break, the band reunited in 2004 and released their final LP, Phantasma. In May 2005, Mathias Lodmalm posted a message at the band's website announcing that he was leaving the scene for good because of dissatisfaction with the people he did business with.
