Damien Moyal

Damien Moyal is a musician and graphic artist from Florida, mostly known within the hardcore genre, for his talking-like vocals in the influential bands Culture, Morning Again, and As Friends Rust. He has contributed to over 15 bands, though only a few have officially been released. Since 2002 he has parted ways with the hardcore genre, and has moved on to a solo project, Damien Done. Damien was once a vegan as well as straight-edge, but has since parted ways with his beliefs.^[1]

Musical History

Moyal's first band was US Decline. During his time in the band they never recorded but did play shows. He soon after moved on to short stints in Insist, Reach and Handoverfist. In 1994 he joined Culture, who had previously recorded a demo tape and were looking for a vocalist. The band landed a release contract with Conquer the World Records and immediately started to record material for what would become the ground breaking success Born of You. Not long after the release of the LP, conflicts between Moyal and John Wylie led to his leaving of the band. He then went on to front in the very first line-up of Shai Hulud, recording their original demo, landing the record deal with Revelation Records. However, before the band got to record any further material, he was asked to leave the band, as he could not get along with the rest of the members.

By late 1995, Wylie had also left Culture and was forming his new band, Morning Again (also with other ex-Culture members). Moyal was asked to join in hopes of reconciliation. This was the inspiration for the song "Turning Over" from their debut Hand of Hope. The band grew to become the first American band on Good Life Recordings, and become a huge attraction in Europe. During this time, he also joined up with Crestfallen's reincarnation as Bird of Ill Omen. Some of the members for The Bird were also involved in the jam "Fork in the Road", which Damien also came up with. After this he went with Wayside, who quickly changed its name to As Friends Rust (named after lyrics from a Bird of Ill Omen song).

Now being out of Morning Again as well, he returned to Culture, where he would remain until their breakup. Using his connections with Good Life, he focused the attention to Culture and gained popularity in Europe during the next two years. Upon the breakup of Culture, a short lived band by the name of Some Sort of Radio lasted four rehearsals. Rumors were that "they were too good to be true". Steve Looker from Morning Again wanted desperately to get As Friends Rust back together, and so a new line up was formed. This became Moyals sole band during the next two years until they went under a second hiatus.

Bridgeburne R was then formed, as a 1980's punk band until AFR got back together. Two more years and Damien quit before their final release on Equal Vision Records. Damien immediately started witting solo under his pseudonym Damien Done. For nearly four years he worked alone until he rehearsed with Kaleb Stewart under the moniker Goodnight At The End Of The Tunnel in 2005. His last band effort was with Best Wishes in 2006 before he moved to Michigan.

Damien Moyal is now part of a two-man DJ team named Old Man Underground which DJs at clubs every other week playing mostly 80s/90s rock, punk and metal.

Art History

Damien Moyal is also a graphic artist, having done artwork for many of his past band. Some of his released work include the artwork for The Fists of Time, Heteronome and Love Thongs, as well as logos for a multitude of bands he was in including Bird of Ill Omen's early logos and shirt designs, with a multitude of Culture shirt designs and unreleased artwork. Many of the unreleased material was to be included in a book to be press on Good Life Recordings in the late 90's, but by 2000 had fallen through, as Moyal was displeased with the chosen content (short stories, drawings and lyrics).

In December 2008 he will be launching his own clothing company Damn50, which will press limited t-shirts designed by himself.
