Biography

Desmonia is a Heavy Metal/Power Metal band from Lund/Sweden, part of the greater Copenhagen region.


The band was formed in 2016 by Paul Holmfrid.


The band is influenced by Heavy Metal music from the 80's like Judas Priest, Michael Schenker and U.D.O/Accept. The musical influences from the 80's are mixed with a more modern metal sound inspired by bands like Arch Enemy, Rammstein, Five Finger Death Punch and Amon Amarth.


Desmonias songs are typically in a slow tempo with a melodic touch of traditional nordic music combined with bombastic chorus choirs, the sound is made up of a wall of heavy guitars and the rusty leadsong of Paul Holmfrid backed up by Paul Eriksson.


In the studio, Desmonia is a duo consisting of Paul Holmfrid and Paul Eriksson, for live appearances additional live musicians are added to the lineup.
