Void Moon was formed in early 2009 by bassist Peter Svensson and vocalist/guitarist Jonas Gustavsson along with notorious drummer Thomas Hedlund. The work on the first demo began in the end of 2009 and the recording was finished and mixed during the spring 2010. In October 2010 four of these tracks were released as the “Through the Gateway” 7” EP on the German label Metalbound Records. Following the release Erika Wallberg joined the band as lead guitarist. In April 2011, a second demo was released, entitled "The Mourning Son". The band made its debut gig in Malmö on the 14th of April and played in Gothenburg the week after supporting Pagan Rites. In November 2011 Void Moon played at the renowned Malta Doom Metal Fest. Their debut album, "On the Blackest of Nights" will be released worldwide in November 2012 by Cruz del Sur.
Void Moon draws inspiration and strength from the old gods of Black Sabbath and Candlemass empowered by torchbearers like Solitude Aeturnus and contemporary bands like Hammers of Misfortune and Grand Magus. The songs are written in the early doom vein and the lyrical themes surround philosophy, occultism, horror stories and death.
