Artist: DEMILICH
Album: NESPITHE (CD)

Year: 1993/ 2013
Media type: CD

Without a doubt Kuopio's DEMILICH offer up a unique sick brand of Sludge Death Metal overladen with extreme guttural 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 Terдsvirta 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 Hytцnen 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 spanish label Repulse (later Xtreem Music). The European version adds four songs from the demo 'The Four Instructive Tales Of... Decomposition' as well as a different cover artwork. The CD was later bootlegged by some label stating Necropolis/Century Media as label & distirbutor for this release, but the fact is that none of these labels recognize this release on their roosters and judging by the poor printing quality, there's no doubt this was a bootleg.  During 2005 DEMILICH reformed and 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.
