About David Parland
David Vincent Parland (26 September 1970 – 19 March 2013), also known by his stage name Blackmoon, was a Swedish metal guitarist noted for his work the bands Dark Funeral, Necrophobic and Infernal, all of which he co-founded. == Biography == Parland was a member of Necrophobic since its inception in 1989, but quit in 1995 to concentrate on Dark Funeral, which he co-founded in 1993. Before leaving Necrophobic, he had written most of the material for their next album. Darkside, with Parland's contributions intact, was released by Necrophobic in 1997, although Parland did not participate in the recording. Parland ran independent record label Hellspawn Records (also Hellspawn Studio) from 1994 to 2002 in Johanneshov, Stockholm, releasing albums from bands such as Abruptum and his own Dark Funeral, with distribution by House of Kicks, VME, and Sound Pollution. After leaving Dark Funeral in 1996, Parland founded the bands War and Infernal. While keeping a low profile and not being actively involved in any bands since the second line-up of Infernal broke up in 2003, Parland announced in January 2009 that he was working on new material with drummer Tomas Asklund (Gorgoroth, Dissection, ex-Dark Funeral). Demos and a full-length album were to be recorded during 2009. An EP from the band was released on 1 May 2010, entitled The Infernal Return. In an interview from October 2012, David Parland explained that Infernal went inactive after the EP because of bad financial circumstances, and Parland getting arrested and being sent to a psychiatric district for "detoxification purposes".
