Cemetary is a Swedish heavy metal band founded by Mathias Lodmalm in 1989.

History

In the early 1990s, the band signed a contract with Black Mark Production and released their debut album An Evil Shade of Grey in 1992. The band recorded one more album before moving from death metal into a gothic metal style with Black Vanity (1994), Sundown (1996) and Last Confessions (1997). After a seven-year break, the band reunited in 2004 and released their final LP, Phantasma. In May 2005, Mathias Lodmalm posted a message at the band's website announcing that he was leaving the scene for good because of dissatisfaction with the people he did business with.

During his break from Cemetary, Lodmalm released albums similar in style under the moniker Sundown, and an album titled The Beast Divine under the moniker Cemetary 1213 by Century Media.

December 2022 Mathias announced on Cemetarys Facebook profile that a new album is on its way for 2023 and that a record deal has been signed. The first new song will be released in January 2023.
