DEMILICH

Biography

Without a doubt Kuopio's DEMILICH offer up a unique sick brand of Sludge Death Metal overladen with extreme gutteral vocals. Antti Boman's singing is so outrageous that the band felt the need in the CD booklet to explain that no effects were used during recording.

The band was created during 1990, established by vocalist / guitarist Antti Boman, bass player Jussi Teräsvirta plus drummer Mikko Virnes. The cassette demos 'Regurgitation Of Blood' and 'The Four Instructive Tales... Of Decomposition' surfaced the following year, after which BARATHRUM guitarist Aki Hytönen was added to the roster. '...Somewhere Inside The Bowels Of Endlessness...' followed in 1992. At this juncture Ville Koistinen had assumed bass duties. Grinder Productions distributed a further 1992 demo dubbed 'The Echo'.

DEMILICH's commercial debut, 'Nespithe' in February 1993, was released by American label Necropolis and licensed by Repulse. The European version adds four songs from the demo 'The Four Instructive Tales Of... Decomposition'.

During 2005 the line-up expanded by introducing guitarist SDS, from BLACK DEATH RITUAL, and bassist Korpse, of DEATHCHAIN, DE LIRIUM'S ORDER, TROLLHEIM'S GROTT, WINTERWOLF and TWISTED SILENCE. DEMILICH announced US tour dates for June 2006 supported by BIOLICH.  DEMILICH bowed out with a swansong show in Kuopio, Finland on July 22nd, 2006.

Two compilations 'V34ish6ng 0f Emptiness' and  'Em9t2ness Of Van2s1ing' containing  archive demo tracks were planned to release in 2009.
