DEMONICAL Part Ways With Frontman Alexander Högbom And Recruit FIMBULTYR Vocalist Christofer Säterdal
November 6th, 2019

Avesta, Sweden-based death metal band Demonical have parted ways with frontman Alexander Högbom and recruited Fimbultyr vocalist Christofer Säterdal, revealing this development on November 6th, 2019.

Bassist Martin Schulman commented: “Demonical and vocalist Alexander Högbom have parted ways without involvement of neither deep drama nor bad blood. This has been in the making for quite some time – even if not publically revealed – as already five months ago – Alexander informed the rest of the band about his need to step back after Scandinavia Deathfest 2019 in order to focus on other things in life. We respect Alex’s decision, want to thank him for all the years in the band, and wish him the very best of luck for the future, whatever it might hold.

“Demonical would like to welcome Christofer Säterdal to the ranks as the bands new frontman. Christofer has proven his quality and dedication in various bands during the years with Swedish viking-metallers Fimbultyr being the most prominent one. The rehearsals and recordings done during the summer have made us confident that Chris is the right man for the position and the one who can carry on the torch. The path forward looks nothing but victorious!”

Säterdal will make his live debut with Demonical on November 14th in Stockholm, Sweden, before heading out on the band’s headlining Brazil Ablaze Tour, which starts on December 5th in Manaus.

The band’s as-yet-untitled sixth full-length studio album is tentatively slated for a 2020 release via Agonia Records.

Demonical’s line-up is as follows:

Christofer Säterdal (vocals, Fimbultyr)
Eki Kumpulainen (lead guitar, Skulldrain / Undivine)
Johan Haglund (rhythm guitar, Spasmodic)
Martin Schulman (bass, Centinex)
Ronnie Bergerstål (drums, Julie Laughs Nomore / World Below / ex-Centinex / ex-Grave)

Fifth studio record Chaos Manifesto was released in March 2018 via Agonia Records.
