Ville Koistinen
The second bassist of Demilich. One fourth of the legendary Nespithe line-up. Almost joined in the band when re-uniting, but then didn’t. Maybe a wise choice.
Active: 1992-1993

SDS
The black & death metal kiddo who was the driving force for the second coming of Demilich. Known for hating live shows and traveling, which lead to him giving up on this beautiful and very profitable career.
Active: 2005-2006
Function: Third guitar
Corpse
The other catalyst for the second coming of Demilich. Decided to leave after… well, that’s a long story, we’ll tell it some day. We still miss his humor and jokes, but, fortunately, we get to see him frequently due to sharing the same rehearsal place. And bands. And work. And bed.
Active: 2005-2010
Function: Bass
