Extreme Metal band In Aphelion is slated to release their album Reaperdawn on August 9th, 2024. The project is the Black Metal brainchild of guitarist/vocalist Sebastian Ramstedt, best known as guitarist and songwriter with Necrophobic. The song “A Winter Moon’s Gleam” is out now, alongside a video.

Sebastian Ramstedt says about “A Winter Moon’s Gleam”:

The music is mainly sprung from rhythm guitarist Johan Bergebäck’s riffs, but the arrangement and lyrics bring it down to the pitch-black depths of loss and sorrow. It opens up the door in time where we sense the shadows of those long lost.

Based around a core line-up of Ramstedt (guitar/vocals), drummer Marco Prij (also Cryptosis), rhythm guitarist Johan Bergebäck (Necrophobic) and bassist Tobias Cristiansson (Necrophobic, ex-Grave…), In Aphelion take a DIY route to their work and have recently signed with Century Media Records.
