The old An Entity Demilich message board

When you refer to “I”, who are you talking about? And who are “we”?

Mill

Out of curiosity, what is the status on the other project that you had two one-minute mp3 samples of back on the old “whosoever” page?

Hey, it’s nice to see that this great band on the one other ways is still alive! I would like to send a great HAIL to the person who started this! Thanx!!!

Those shirts look pretty badass guys. Will you be able to ship to the USA? I’m interested in the second design.

Mist

I’m wondering as to what guitar and bass tunings you used on The Uncontrollable Regret of the Rotting Flesh and The Putrefying Road in the Nineteenth Extremity.

Hi, I’m Irving from Monterrey, I would like to know which kind of guitars did you used in Nespithe?

i hope i have a large tshirt reserved for me cuz you love me right? biodemi biodemi biodemi…..a great ending to a new beginning….<3

Hi and hello. I must say im alittle dissapointed that both shirts had backprint… I had preffered just the frontprint of the “first” shirt… but i guess they are already printed and my opinion changes nothing, ah shit im so damn insignificant.

Anyway, a bowl of nectarish whory secretion for some seriously great music. I think i’ll just remain in pieces in nothingness for now, good luck

Hello Antii and those in DEMILICH, we are admirers of horrid, bizarre, chaotic and obscure music with an artistic twist, Demilich is definitly a favourite of ours and has been a big influence through the years and in our own work, we would much appreciate it if you had a listen to our material and shared your thoughts about it, (noting that we would be more than happy to send a free copy of our official disc if you are interesred) which is something to the degree of Horror/Chaos-Noise/Soundscapes done with guitar and vocals

mp3′: available at audiostreet.net/Planumoribund
site: cacophonihility.com

If you ever do decide to play a show in the u.s (even though we are from canada) we would definitely show up regardless to the location (please do not play in texas for the rednecks! haha) we’ll continue to support Demilich however we can for its gripping otherwordly visions and excellent musicianship, thanks and we will be wanting a copy of the new cd/lp!, stay true

Demilich…the constant in my life. Always amazing, and always around! Man, cheers to you guy! Truly amazing music, great people! And I like your whole old-school attitude, keep it dark, cult but yet fun!

Im ALL over shirts and Vinyl! Hellyeah! Any chance Nespithe will ever be on Vinyl????

Cheers guys!

When do we get some Demilich tablature?!

In the unfortunate event that my powers of deduction linger, floundering in the realm of utter stupidity and my email to you trails off into a misdirected oblivion I have resorted to “les message publique” in order to voice my plea, as pathetic as it may be in it desperateness, as to When, Where and How must I go about obtaining a shirt…scourge me…dangle me over a gaping precipice…stew my guts…distribute my flesh to a harem of gorgons…guzzle my lymph and ichor from my skull…Dance a gay jig in my skin…all this simply to be adorned in your merch<

Do you have any plans for touring through Europe?

Hey just wanted to say the site looked great. And I want a t-shirt damnit! So when are they coming out again 😉 (j/k)

Congratulations for Nespithe.
Very nice album! 🙂

Is anyone currently carrying these tshirts for sale in the US? I saw someone posted a for sale thread on the Fullmoon message board? This person is selling the shirts for $15 postage paid in the US. I’m a little leary since I don’t have any idea who this person is. Are the shirts even available yet? They look killer, btw.

boys, i really dig your brootal death metal style!!!

Hello from Ukraine!
Best recards to the most original death-metal band

Hail fuckers!!

Keep continuing to support Demilich!! The day is getting closer to unleashing it’s rebirth!!

Ei j

In case you guys wanna see an original add from way back then for the Demilich shirt, check out www.DeatheVokatioN.com and go to News.


BTW, I got mine 3 days ago, it is AMAZING!
Cannot wait for batch Nr 2 with the other design!

Cheers all

Hi!
Greetings from Poland! I’ve heard demilich not so long ago and i am very impressed! You must be psychos to do so fuckin’ great music! See Ya!!!

I sent payment for a shirt a few days ago and I haven’t received any sort of confirmation yet…

Hello broS! alex from Inherited Suffering Records here! Can you trade 1 shirt maybe?
let me know please!

greetings. can’t you have a gig in Stockholm? it’d be really cool…

You kick ass man! hehe, the praising will stop there:P
I hope this hasnt already been asked because I can’t seem to find it through the questions…. How do you pull of those vocals? what type of techniques did you practice and how can I get lower and more ballsy death metal vocals, or is it a secret?:P
I know this may be too hard to explain so I understand anyways, Im out rock on!
\m/

Alright, you gonna do these two releases and quit… well, you say you wanted to close the band in a honorable way… and that’s ok. But, what if your last(?) album become big commercial success? What if people (old fans and new fans) demand more, I know you might be NOT interested anymore in extreme stuff but how many bands we know that play extreme, but let’s say listen to not extreme stuff, and yes they play death metal for money, fame and… fans:) You can continue to play what ever you want pop, techno, punk… who cares. Continue with Demilich for us, the fans that would die to hear more and more from their fave band.

hello again. what happened to the lyrics? they used to be at this site, am i just being stupid not finding them? ;P

Alright thanx for your honest answer. I must apologise becouse I didn’t realize you will continue your left hand path with another… euqaly to Demilich sounding bands… at least with the same extreme feeling. I think you will be the last band from that old forgotten death metal generation from Finland to release an album. Xysma, Disgrace, Funebre, Ripikoulu, Demigod (They do exist in some strange incarnation, not worthy at all) or Belial to name a few are dead for the masses. My hope was that you will be the last one that will manage to kick ass:) Ok, you can do that under the new monicker as well:) But you always will be connected to Demilich fame at least for myself:)

Hi,
it’s the moroccan fan again 🙂
I just want to ask , many considers Demilich as Progressive Death metal.
What do you think of that ? What do you classify yourself ? just death metal ?
Personally I would say Progressive melodic death metal… But anyway, those are only tags.
Hails.

Antti,

When will your tour Australia? 🙂 Just kidding! Hmm, I’ll have to pay you another visit soon. BTW – for those asking about the vocals, Antti sounds like that when he’s not behind a microphone and amp… (I don’t mean his normal voice, but the growl thingo!), although I only managed to catch a few bars, I can assure you of its authenticity, I think the rest of it got lost in a sub-zero snow blizzard!

Shine on,
-Matt

GodDAMN those are some beautiful designs. PLEASE let me know if you ever print up any others. And yes, I wish I was in Finland to hear you guys play.

Salutations!

I cant believe I discovered Nespithe after so long! Very eager to hear what you chaps will come up with next!

TOUR INDIA! \m/

Wow i’ve been wanting someone to explain how to do growls without permanently harming my throat and at the same time not having them end up as sounding like pathetic weak whispered segments! Thank you for sharing this gospel! 😉

I know very little of demilich history, and generally a band’s history matters 0% to me – but your music speaks volumes! My band(that is me and the other guitarist!) are very influenced by your style as it seems very open and experimental yet retaining that dark brutal feel at times!

Uh, review unintentional whatsoever! Oh yeah and praise is definately earned! \m/

I am from the the north west of britain and was handed an album by a friend. I must say it is the best death metal/prog death. i have heard lately. I am looking to organise at gig at my home town with The Misfits If your interseted.

well definitly i

We just played with Infinitum Obscure and Hirax in Tijuana, Mexico last weekend.
I wore my Demilich shirt with pride!

Again, all of you, go and get one! There are still some left! The quality is amazing! I actually got two! One to wear, one to “collect”!!

Cheers!

Hails, it’s me again, what happened with Ville Kostinien?

Antti

Cheers

Eilinen keikka kuulosti niin hyv

Hey, it’s me, Drew from Minnesota. I forgot what the hell your SLSK name is, as well as any other contact information I may have of yours. Shoot me an email, or message me on the soulseek on “Conformity”

Eh, I was just going to ask if you wanted to do a review for www.metalreview.com. Hopefully devoid of the same stupid boring questions you get constantly.

Hi Antti
i wrote you an email telling you to check out the song i wrote and dedicated inspired by you. The band is Excoriated and the song is Phased. find it on soundclick if you want, the email has a direct link. I want you to hear what you inspired!

Looking forward to the demo cd!!!!!!

Why the haircut?

Fuck yes, you guys really know how to make Death Metal. Easily one of the ten best death albums on my book (92′ album). Fucking amazing, still after 12 years I’m very impressed.

How exactly is the word “Demilich” supposed to be pronouced when spoken?

Will the song “The Faces Right Below the Skin of the Earth” be put on the website for download, or will one have to go to soulseek/DC to download it?

Hieman my

hey, when are the lyrics coming up ;s ;P

hello lovey dovey…i wanted to show you something ive been working on alate…
www.lovewithaheartasano.com
its called hills west and it is whats become of me….hugs <3

When will be on sale the new disks?

Hello Antti, where does the name “Demilich” come from? From some RPG (AD&D, etc.)? What does it actually mean?

for those looking for lyrics, most can be found at Encyclopaedia Metallum —–> go to http://www.metal-archives.com

Antti,

Do ou still keep in touch with DAVE WITTE?

I remember he was big on demilich back when he was in Human Remains.

Wow, I been expected a release of Demilich for so long… And I cannot wait for the new t-shirts. Cheers from Argentina \m/

You lazy sod; you didn’t do the army did you?! (In response to why you cut your hair). If I remember correctly your job consisted of morphing my digitized head into a drunken yobbo! In between ja, ja, ja and ja whilst my sandwhich was being made in downtown Kuopio – damn; I wish I can come and visit again soon. Jenni stopped returning my calls years ago! So sweet 🙁

Shine on,
-Matt

What a surprise!
I thought Demilich would remain dead and buried… I am really glad you deceided to resurface!

I am waiting for the new releases and wish you all the best!

Greetings from Germany!

Ulrich
www.ingurgitating-oblivion.de

Hey, you guys are awesome. I’m lovin’ the vocals, Antti. 😀 Anyways, I was actually wondering if you guys would be doing any shows here in the U.S., because i’d love to see you guys if you came to New York City or something.

Greetings,

What sort of guitar/amp do you typically use? And thanks for creating the masterpiece “Nespithe”

-Julien

Demilich r00lz!!!!!!!!!!

I make custom Spiked Straps. Moser has expressed an interest in selling these straps
on their site. They are the perfect compliment to all their models. The straps are
very high Quality and will last forever. They won’t fade stretch or absorb liquid
or odors.
I custom design and hand build these straps myself. I’ll send some pics. I can either
build one identical to the pics, or I can custom design one just for you. There
are lots of different styles of spikes to choose from.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Rock on!!!

David

Greetings, Demilich! You guys put out some of the best old school Death Metal ever! Nice to see you resurfaced. And with that I wish you good luck.

I also want to take the opportunity to give the address to my band website and distribution website.
My band: www.geocities.com/stenchofnecropsy
Distro: www.geocities.com/cultdistribution

It would be nice to get at least a dubbed copy of your other stuff (apart from the CD, of course) but I don’t know whether I will ever get those in my hands. The mp3’s at least gave me the opportunity to listen to them, but I personally dislike mp3’s as they are compressed files. But that’s just my opinion, of course.

Good luck with your future project/s!

How much the t- shirt cost??
and……How much the transport cost if i live in poland??

hailz, will there be an age limit at the gig in Turku the 30th of September? ;s

Where can I find the lyrics to these most glorious, sonorous epics?

If only other old bands would put up websites like this. I might finally hear more of the music I love. Being born in 1989 in England is not a good idea if you want to have any chance of getting really awesome, ‘underground’ cds.

Can’t wait for the new project, I hope you steer clear of mainstream-anisation and retardation (I’m sure you will though, as only a truly kingly band has the will to be complete and then stab itself through the heart).

hail antii boman

infernal greetings

Here is Sancler a fucking Demilichs worshipper

hi antti,

do you remember I sent you an interview, me and a friend asked you 22 questions, for a french webzine.

see ya

Now that the first batch of shirts is sold out, is the 2nd run with the new “old” design still going to happen?

In aniticipation,


G

I am a HUGE fan of your musical masterpieces! You truly are my favorite band. The complexity and rhythmic intensity of your music is almost psychadelic where I get lost in my own consciousness only to find myself in a different but mellow state of mind. I lift weights everyday and while I do that I listen your music! I am actually able to meditate listening to you!
Anyways, I wanted to know if you planned on touring the US, specifically Los Angeles, CA. PLEASE COME? That would be the greatest! I really want to hear you live. I can’t imagine… Keep Death Metal Alive!!!!
Thank you. I look forward to hear from you.

Come to the U.S. and devastate our ears!!!

DEATH METAL \m/


You guys have some seriously heavy shit, that just makes my dad want to kill me. I cant wait intill your up coming album. I was born in 1990 and I am a pretty big fan of death metal. I have a band and I was wondering if you could give me any advice when playing gigs and sticking to your roots?


Nick Hebert/Canada

Moi! T

Ive been trying to get copies of your demos for a while now, do you know of a good source?, thanks

Alright, I am confused. This site runs as if you guys haven’t split up, I went through a couple of message board posts and you said that you’re heading to the US for a tour or something.

But… but… what about Australia?

Hic!

Fosters won’t do mate, they’re the shittest Aussie beer. No Aussie in Australia drinks Fosters. Any person who does drink Fosters in Australia is automatically assumed a foreigner, haha.

Try Coopers (www.coopers.com.au) or Hahn, among others.

Aside from that, I do have some mild connections with some organisers in my city of Adelaide (aptly known as South Australia’s capital, the wine capital of Australia and get load of this… “The City of Churches”). Australia has an annual Ozzfest(*wheeze*)-like event called “Metal for the Brain”, I think you ought to check up on that. I am sure you can Google it up as I am struggling to write this message without any typos (yeah once again, hic! BEER!).

Love your stuff, and all the best with your future endeavours. You came and you went away. You were like the other Cynic, except very underrated. Will keep you posted once my band releases a demo, haha (…more self-promotion, oh goodie).

When are more shirts going to be printed? I would like a shirt.

Demilich fuckin’ owns!!!

I just wanna let you guys know I’m gonna download all of your work and make sure people of Serbia know about Demilich and just how fuckin’ great it is!

(seriously)

I was just wondering where I can pick up a an official copy of your “Nespithe” album? My local music store doesn’t seem to have any copies of it. So I was wondering if you can direct me to any sites that might have copies of the album. Or if you have any copies of “Nespithe” that are new and still in the plastic wrapping (I won’t accept used/second-hand copies).

what guitar equipment did demilich use during the nespithe album?

My offer to print the longsleeve shirts is still valid, I hope you didnt forget about it! My last email was sent several weeks ago, I hope things are better now… my full support to one of the best and most original Death Metal bands of all time!

Request: How about a nice, big high resolution picture of the Demilich’s written logo for the image section? Pretty please…

Just read on the messages that you guys are gonna bury Demilich and star with a new band and i have a few questions:
Will the line-up change?
Will you still playing death metal?

I think that’s it, i would also like to know when the new band start, i live far away from Finland (Brazil) so it would be nice if you guys keep me upadted.
Thanks for the atention.

Demilich + Maryland = The Pinnacle of my existence on earth

Hi DEMILICH,

hey when do you finally reprint your Shirts? Do you make some new for the upcoming shows with DEMIGOD – if yes please inform me and also about the design!!!
Great that you still have the guts to kick some ass with times SUOMI FINLAND PERKELE DEATH METAL…

Horn’s up and feel free to check our zine:

If I were a millionare I would send money over to Antti for some shirt and a tour, but I am just a poor college kid….. sorry everyone…..

You already know that you’re going to sell out of the shirts anyway, so why not start collecting the payments now to speed up the inevitable? We’re already used to how slow you tend to operate anyway so not many people would care if you hang on to the cash for an extended period of time before we reveive the shirts anyway…

Greets,

First off, I apologize for not reading through every page to find out whether or not my question was already posted…as far as the shirts are concerned, will there be longsleeves made eventually? I realize what you are saying when you talk of a “cash” shortage.

-P.

Hope to see you guys down in Maryland with Engorged, Machetazo, Frightmare and Municipal Waste! MDF is shaping up to be a dream of a concert.

Hail, since we consider you to be a very likeable and reasonable people, we cordially ask you to join the #metal room at irc.esper.net.

Thanks.

Hello!
We are Brazilian Death Metal band called Imperial Devastation! I would like to know more about you, how is the scene there in Filand?
How are the tour?

Thanks!

William & Imperial Devastation

I found your website on a whim, cause someone mentioned your name on a message board, and it was 4:00 and the drunks outside on the ground level still haven’t shut up!

Yeah, this is some awsome stuff you have!
I know you said someplace on the website that fans can’t dictate what you do, but all I have to say is keep going!

Hi guys!!! Really glad to hear from you again!!!!!! Please tell me, is your new LP out yet? Thanks!! Take care , ERIC

Hey guys I saw your recent news it sts

shows CAL. I hope. please give us more info if

nice site!! would you like to exchange links?? my url is http://www.goremetal.net !

I was really surprised when I found Demilich on Maryland death fest page! Your Nespithe album have been the one of my most favorite album over 10 years! Teally great bizarre and ultra heavy death metal only Demilich can play!!!

I’ll go to Maryland Death Fest with my friends’ band Butcher ABC. So I’m very looking forward to seeing your show!

Dear Mr. Moose:

Please be so kind at to send a barrage of words to moi. I got my artist dude in wait to start dishing out concepts for shirts, hello…this thing on? helllllooooooooooooooo…

Demilich rules, I heard rumours you will be here in Houston with Averse Sefira no less??? Am I dreaming? Let me know, man. That would be the show of the year! Thanks for Nespithe, it’s brilliant.

Thank you for the sick music kalakukot!

Hi!

Have you done something for the new band already or is Demilich consuming all of your time right now?

2 more questions – were you playing live often in 1990 – 1993 and what foreign countries did you visit in your tours.

que chingona esta la musica de demilich felicidades

Is it possible to download your stuff over bittorrent? I don’t see any seeders.

Now I see seeders , but downloading ain’t starting. 2 hours have passed and it still didn’t start. I checked my connection and software , so problem is probably with your upload.

You sign off as “agb”, the g stands for…?

YOU BEST HURLLED the COMMAND In the WORLD!!!

demilich.narod.ru/reviews/Demilich-1993.htm

Demilich is a treasure of the death metal underground, and a band that should be hailed by all who like complex and artistic heavy music.

http://www.anus.com/metal/demilich.html

That’s our small tribute. To really make it like Demilich, it should have been written in a hybrid between Chinese and Urdu with Norwegian proper nouns.

Wow. Weird seeing Demilich back playing again. I got into the band through tape trading circles in the early 90’s. That demo ‘The Four Instructive Tales…’ totally blew me away (still does) with it’s heavyness & brutality. Great stuff.

To the person who wants Obscure Infinity stuff. I have an original demo i can tape you & photocopy the cover if you want. Email me & let me know!

Hope to pick up some Demilich stuff soon. All the best.

The quality of the bands back then puts most current bands to shame. Crypt Of Kerberos deserved alot more attention, as did most.

Has anyone seen the rubbishnes of vinyl nowdays,
terrible. Just got Lucifers Children (electric wizard) of Rise Above, the vinyl is scratched when i recieved it and is crap quality with no depth to the sound,

marraskuu……….i wish we were playing a show together tonight… and drinking some…<3

Does your singer use a voicebox to g that low? Just wondering.

Im hoping to go see you at the “Maryland Death Fest on May 2006”. I’m originally from Los Angeles…would be nice to see you here in l.a

You guys got such an awesome tone, is that a Marshall JCM 800 I see you playing in those pics? And do you use any distortion or effect pedals?

would anyone who has Demigod Slumber of sullen eyes be able to provide me with a copy..

You guys are the most amazing death metal band I’ve ever heard.

You should REALLY stay together and show the world how it’s done!

Ben

hello anti, i was wondering what you do these days, seeing as death metal doesn’t really make any money.

also, i thought you might be interested to know that the pathetic neo-nazi “infester” (whose comments you deleted, i believe) must go on amazon.com to make his worthless opinions known to the public. of course it’s not the same as piercing his clitoris while screaming anti-[insert minority group] slogans, but it’s a good place to start, no?

I think Boman has died, ill take over the vocal duties. Im better than him anyway.

Demilich mention: “They take the convoluted grind of their oft-name-dropped namesakes DEMILICH (themselves a band worth discovering, for all you young whippersnappers who think metal began in 1998) and expand it into uncharted, limitless terrain.”

from: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/showreview.aspx?reviewID=498

whoa, how about a demilich tribute band composed entirely of people named james? i call lead guitar.

Ill take drums

Any gigs in Kuopio? Ever? Never saw you guys playing in the early 90

Hey Antti,

I was wondering what happened with the idea of doing the DEMILICH demos on CD!! I hope you’ve not skipped that idea yet, hehe!! Let me know how is it going…

I’ve just released two CULT re-issues: REVENANT & MORPHEUS DESCENDS and next to come is the DEMIGOD album + demo next month!! I’ll also do the DEMILICH demos!!

Later,

Dave Rotten

thanks for the offer boman, ill keep it in mind.
ive got one of those one man band kits for you, take the band in a whole new direction.

hello.

i have made a demilich myspace group at:

http://groups.myspace.com/demilich

also…i have posted some demilich tablature on my webpage at:

www.doesntexist.cjb.net/

can you alert the people?

Bastards!! I dont know what to think. I loved Nespithe. I have posted on several forums that, Nespithe, is one of the top 4 most influencial death metal albums of all times.

Now I have spent a several collective hours of time, searching the internet trying to find out what happened to you guys. (I was very interested in what Mikko had going on, he fucking kicks ass, absolutely incredible drummer).

anyways I came across a website that had some of your posts saying Demilich might get together, you were going to print some t-shirts (which I want btw), and then Demilich will never be reformed.

And now here you are!!???? WTF??? I realize this is not “Demilich”, but you and Mikko are back together. I am stoked that you are writing again, but pissed because I have been left me hanging for so long.

Thanks for reading my post, I look forward to your new manifest

-Jason

Hello, I am the CEO of the Coca-Cola corporation, and recently stumbled upon a few mp3s on your website, I listened and at first was shocked, then content as I realized the immeasurable amount of carbonated drinks one would have to drink in order to achieve Demilich’s level of burpage. Mr. Antti Boman, would you be interested in a business propsal? Much like Opeth has an official brand of jeans, I was hoping that Demilich could have an official soft drink. That soft drink in question is Sprite. You see, Sprite causes intense pressure, due to carbonation and this nifty sugar substitute called high fructose corn syrup, in the stomach and intestines of those who drink it, thus allowing children all over countries like England, Israel, and the United States to mimic your vocals while at Tae Kwon Dow (sp?) and Sunday School.

If you accept this proposal, please tell me of a place where I can drop off five hundred U.S. dollars and a Sprite in a brown paper bag every week in exchange for you to promote the Sprite soft drink at your next show.

The terms are this: One Antti Boman has to drink five sprites onstage his next show, and replace a word or two in a song with Sprite.

I look forward to your response. This is not just for the Coca-Cola Corporation, but children everywhere!

Sincerely,
E. Neville Idsell
CEO of the Coca-Cola Corporation

any chance the new shirts will be printed with the next few years? i’ll buy one for me, and one for my grandmother for her birthday.

if you play in new york, you bet your ass i’ll be there. perhaps you could play at my school? they might have to carry out a few emo kids in bodybags…

Did Arcane get back to you…

Seems like you forget your friends, Mr. Boman…

its too cold there for siestas, i have heard of the (unsavory) saunas, but i wouldnt trust to siesta in one, unless i was very drunk.

Hi Antti & Co!

Did you record the stuff in december or?
Is it to late to send you the pictures from Eskilstuna? (I’m really sorry but I have forgot!)

I’m also wondering if you want to come over to Sweden for 2 gigs with Crypt Of Kerberos and my oldschool deathband Interment? Email me so we can make this happen, the swedes must see Demilich before you leave earth again!! 😉

Alright, take care & kippiis!!

DEMILICH YOU MOTHERFUCKERS FUCKIN RULE!!!!


I got “Nespithe” back in ’94 and that is SUPERIOR Deathmetal. I wish you guys would come back full time! Your debut album is a fucking classick, I cant believe you guys are playing this Maryland fest! I thought Demilich was gone for good. Come to Texas!! If Demilich plays dallas Texas the whole fuckin club will be packed man we love Demilich down here!!!!!

RAPED EMBALMED BEAUTY SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First I’d like to say that I really enjoy your music. Very unique, and fun to listen to.

I was just wondering how you (Antti) pull off those vocals? They’re very… Interesting, and any attempt I’ve made to emulate them fails miserably. I understand if you decide I’m unowrthy to know, though.

Second, if/when shirts are available, how much would they cost? I didn’t see a price anyplace…

Since you guys are splitting and reforming under a new name, what will the name be?

getting popular now boman, you will have a video out next

One thing about Demilich that makes them such a unique band is the atonal dissonant guitar riffs. When I first heard Nespithe, the riffage is what struck a huge chord with me and has kept me hooked on the album after all these years. The production is very brutal and raw yet still clear and audible. When will the new Demilich CD be released? I am very anxious to hear that new song and any other demo material the band has. If Demiich reforms under a new name, I wish you guys all the best and will check out anything you guys release.

i think “still unnamed” is a great band title…no really…honest

Hi, it’s the Dude from Morocco again.
It’s so easy to say that vocals aren’t processed. Well, we can’t check ! ( No insinuation here )

Whatever, you need 20 months for a video ? Like, I could not even find it in p2p programs.

Good mastication. bye. I really would like you al lto continue, but, you know, you will loose several kvlt points. Think about that fact. They will not bring you extra-money, but kvlt points will increase your overall kvltness, obviously.

B(oman)ye. (I made a joke)

No lyrics here.

oh that’s good then. Just a question, because I managed to get similar vox somehow, do you inhale air ?

– 25 and no shirts

Hailz.

I was very bummed that I missed MDF this year, where you guys jsut happen to be playing.

Nespithe is undeniably extreme [in the greatest way].

If you happen to play out in San Francisco, California then hit me up.

It’d be some sick shit.

[[The old shirt design is sweet. Any chance of acquiring one?]

Hey Antti,

Will you be playing any gigs in Sweden or Finland anytime before or after your tour to the states, or at least before July when I go back to Australia. I missed the gig back in September because of exams, and I simply must see you guys live before I go home, or as Johan said, before Demilich leaves earth. I haven’t been on here for a while and if I had known, I would have gone to Eskilstuna.

Good luck with recording

Andrew

I overlooked that you have a gig in Lappeenranta which I would love to go to, only I have a friggin Archaology exam in Uppsala that day, maybe the good people at Blue1 have a cheap flight for me that day; that way I might just make it in time!

one of my acquaintances was unfortunately denied his entitlement to pre-ordering a shirt…

in a nutshell…

DIBS!

I wouldn’t want to disgrace ur band by custom-making a retarded Impaled Northern Moonforest-looking rendition out of neccesity :p

Have you decided whether or not you’ll employ the (in)famous vocal technique from Nespithe in post-Demilich recordings? Or, better yet, do you intend to do any vocals at all in future recordings after you guys finally hoist the name Demilich into the woodchipper?

we got the dates for the tour..im assuming youve been updated by someone?
let me know…
-t

I thought the band has died. A few days ago a dude sent me the banner for Maryland Death Metal Fest and saw Demilich in the cast. I was like ” what’s going on?”. You guys told me the band was about to come to an end, and that you would not release anything and were doing the last gigs. Now i see you guys are about to record some more material and are still hitting the stages. What i want to know is: are you guys really going to disband? That would be great if you guys didn’t do so. Another question: the new records will be available for download?
That’s it, sorry for bothering you guys with a message this big. Thanks.

“32 and no life.”

politics maybe? you could manage to commission the building of a mass human-only extermination device. that would surely please you. and me.

could you possibly manage a gig in germany(south-western, in heidelberg, specifically at the schwimmbad club ;))?

ah, also this: is the “v34ish6ng 0f emptiness” cd out yet? and if so, where can i get it?

life ends when you pass 30. The machine can take those whos hair is falling out, and growing more in strange places.
That would unfortunateley mean Boman and Demilich would be in line for termination, save us young virile types having to pay for thier cod liver oil capsules, bibs, etc.
Dont commission Bowman to bulid the machine, you would end up with a gas oven wih the door open. Most he can manage with helping the other band members with their blood transfusions..thats what happens when you drink 3 bottles of single malt whiskey a day.

Nah, he could manage a great one, it would just take 10 years to get it 😉

End up with a hammer an a plastic sheet.

Please, you must come to the midwest! I’m sure you wont come to Minnesota, but I’m willing to drive to Chicago.

It seems to me that Demilich discriminates against trolls. There are no trolls in the band. I have not seen a single image of a troll among the Finns pictured enjoying and/or within the Demilich product. A quick search of the annual report reveals the presence of no trolls. Furthermore, this website is clearly not designed with troll access in mind. Are these accusations of discrimination true?

http://www.adl.org/

Good luck on the tour dates in the states. It is also kinda sad to hear that your breaking up again.

But what I was really wondering if, you every heard about the sounds of hell. It was a story I just heard about that there was a dig in Finland. They said that when trying to check for plate techtonics that they heard voices instead.

Hawaii’s a total underground venue to play!! You should come out here on vaction.

Hey unkll you will be here in a mounth i’ll try not to let lizz kill you.

i promise to not offend with an odor at Maryland, and then i shall *perhaps* aquire what i desire. …that spot away from the others where i can fully enjoy DEMILICH as only i possibly can!

Me again, here to bother you about T-shirt designs, once more.

I know you said there would be no chance of attaining an original design of the front/back print shirts.

However, I didn’t know if you’d be interested in releasing the design itself for personal distro printing.

The man over at Punkstuff.com [Hangar 19] may be inclined to print up a batch for his customers if I inquire.

Get back to me.

Peace.

hi again,

i’ve just found out that i’ll probably defile Baltimore with my presence at your gig, and if i don’t get a shirt, i’ll throw random bloody body parts at you.

can you make the names of the 400 shirt applicants public, so i can hunt them down, one by one, until there’s only a hundred left?

can i pay more for one? how about an auction?

i’d offer other commodities, but i’ve already sold a kidney for a copy of nespithe.

haha well played.

Hey Antti,

Dont know if you even check your email so, I’d figure I’d check in here. Pat and JP from Hellwitch are going to the Austin show and very likely I’ll be there too with them. Hope work doesnt interfere. In any case, get back to me if there is a chance.
Bring some suntan lotion, Texas sun doesnt tend to caress Fin hide too lightly.

Hey Antti,

Dont know if you even check your email so, I’d

By the way, Davao City in the Philippines has a bad reputation in the traders circle. Dont spend any money in postage.

Hey,

Dont know whether this has been asked already, but any clue as to when PayPal paid shirts will be shipped out?

All of the paid shirts have been shipped as of today (May 17th)

D

I know its too late but I wanted to ask why the US tour did not include at least one show in the south-east. Was it because their was not enough demand or what. Since the closet show is in Batimore which is way to far to travel even though I would easily give organs and limbs to see Demilich.

Normally I wouldn’t pester you about this, but I just wanna make sure I don’t miss out on that sweet shirt I ordered.

When I ordered my shirt, I had to order via my father’s email because I don’t have a credit card… I just wanted to double check, I’ll still get my shirt, right? I was hoping you weren’t screening e-mail adresses due to the “Do not send this link around.” rule.

Also, when will my father be billed for the shirt/when will they be mailed? I looked around, but didn’t see any dates.

Thanks a lot!

Ur, that was a message I sent to Antti about a week ago… But apparently it was too late. I was never billed for my t-shirt, even though they’ve been sent out now.

Does this mean that I’m just down on my luck, that I’ll have to fight for a leftover t-shirt (Which is impossible since I’ll be out of town most likely), or will I get a chance to get the unpayed for t-shirt?

Hmm… mulle ei tullu kyll

My father checked his paypal again, and it says that no one ever billed him for the shirt. (I entered my father’s email instead of my own this time)

I wish you guys would do a bit more touring before splitting up….


I’m missing MD Deathfest and…its really frustrating if you split up after I can’t go to my only chance ever so see you play 🙁

saludos a los chicos de Demilich excelente death metal from Suomi.

Antti and Demilich,

Infinite thanks are in order for your euphoric [and quite surreal] destruction of my eardrums at MDF IV. I’m honored to have had a chance to witness such spectacles.

Also, thank you for taking the time out to speak with me and listen to my nonsequitous ramblings and stories of how Demilich has affected my life and the way I percieve this music.

I’m looking forward to hearing these new recordings you spoke of, and wish you guys the best of luck with all future endeavors.

I never could find your merchandise table. I asked around, and no one seemed to know where it was. Are there going to be shirts still available here in the next few weeks? And if so, would it be possible to also include with payment the booklet for Nespithe for a few signatures?

In any case, thank you, and good luck.

Hey there

First, a long time i was thinking that your Band split up. A few weeks ago i found this site. So, good to know that this was not the truth about quiting with the band, hehe. Hope the new record comes soon.

But now i write you because i have a little Problem with your new Merch. Fact is, me and a friend (called J

Demilich is still on tour in the US and wont be back to Finland for at least another 2.5 weeks. You’ll have to wait until then probably or a little bit more

Here are some photos of Demilich live in Austin, Texas. http://abysmallegions.multiply.com/

You were excellent at the LA show. If only the set had been longer…

This was easily the “most funnest” 3 weeks ever! I’m so gonna miss you guys!!
but not ’till after I sleep 😉

Hey, hey ANT-ee, ANT-ee!

(just thought you’d miss that since you got home).

The Demilich shows in Texas reminded me of why I believe in underground metal and have for many years. Our physical bodies are mere containers; experience of the spirit is art, philosophy, war and apparently Finnish technical death metal.

A few more photos (Austin/Houston):

Thanks to Antti and the rest of the band for the great times. It was worth the journey 1000 times over; I hope you felt the same way.

Hey guys, you guys were awesome here in LA. I loved every single minute of it. You guys’ set reminded me why I listen to metal and you guys’ music every day.

I still haven’t gotten that cheap camera developed though, but I’ll post those pics soon!

Also, cheers for recognizing me in my shirt Dani 😛

Do you have any future plans on coming to Canada? It kind of makes me jealous that certain parts of North America (such as the US) get all the best reunion shows and us Canadians are seldomly included. I know you probably think you don’t have much of a fanbase here. But trust me, you guys have made a name for yourselves here. Well, in Toronto anyways. Cheers from the Great White North.

Yeah im from saskatchewan, Canada and I am a fan as well.

how big is this Henry’s Pub place, considering you can’t buy tickets? (i tried visiting their website but it was all in finnish heh) me and a few friends are thinking about coming all the way from Stockholm and it would be a shame if we can’t get in because the place is full when we arrive, lol ;S

ARGH! My shirt has still not arrived!

Damned postal service!

Hey,

is there any news regarding the “v34ish6ng 0f emptiness” CD or the “em9t2ness of van2s1ing” LP ?
Especially about a possible release date ?

Best Regards,
Peter

Sweet! I am obviously hoping, that but doesnt help the frustration! Thanks anyway!

I tried to get into Finland for the last show and they told me I couldn’t come into the country because I’m a fag. So I asked them to help Demilich do a show in England, where anti-fag discrimination is a thing of the distant past… so far gone it can’t even sneak you up and prod you in the behind.

On se ik

nice to fuckin write back something at all you fake ass bitch..good break up. who wants to listen to you anyway?

Thanks to Antti and all others for the amazing gig at Henry`s, it will be one of those things I`ll someday tell my grandkids rokking back and forth in my chair. Seriously it was well worth the short but intense trip, my only regret is that I missed out on eating kalakukko at the legendary Kuopion tori. Well maybe I`ll manage it on my next visit wich will happen someday for sure. Cant`t wait to hear what your mind produces in the future, take care man.

THERE ARE STILL A FEW DEMILICH SHIRTS LEFT!!!!

I still have a few shirts left to sell.
Anyone interested in getting a shirt should email me at morbidthoughtsrecords@gmail.com

Paypal or IBAN is accepted.
Shirts are 17.00usd in the states, and 21.00usd in Europe and other places to cover shipping.

Of the shirts printed in MAY, there is:
1 Small, and 3 Medium shirts left. The image is on the merch page here.

Of the shirts made for the US Tour, there is:
10 Small, 10 Large, 3 XL
The design on the front is the combination of the logo and monster, with the spine on the back. (no image on the merch page, but email me if you want a pic)

There are also a few left of a *special promo shirt given out by the band, that is one sided only, with the logo and monster in the front.
Of these, I have : 2 Medium, 3 Large, 4 XL

Because of the very small amount of shirts left, these will be sold to the people who PAID FIRST . I can’t wait for weeks to get a Money Order that never comes.
Also, unless you ask for / pay extra for a faster shipping method, ALL the shirts will be shipped economy, The post office says allow about 6 weeks(most were quicker) to Europe and other continents. Everyone who posted earlier about late shirts, has them now. Patience! 🙂

Last chance to get these. NO more will be printed.

I got a Demilich shirt some years ago . Here are the pics . When was it printed and is it the first Demilich shirt ever ???

Where do fish go on holiday?

I was wondering if your Nespithe album is still officially in print? If so, can it be found easily or are only select distros/stores carrying it? Or is it out of print and only bootlegs of the album are being printed?

got my tee today..looks killer n thanx
cheers

Hey,

My friend in India, in the same city just recieved his tee which he’d ordered in August, and I’ve yet to recieve mine!!!! I ordered in May! Please let me know what to do, it’s very irritating waiting for so long for a t-shirt!

Thanks

Mr Boman is still recovering In Hospital after the arduous tour of the states.
I heard they are still searching for a liver, I dont hold out much hope of Finnish healthcare finding a suitable replacement.

HAHAHAH!!!!!!!!, MESSIAH PARATROOPS WERE ALWAYS BETTER THEN DEMILICH!! – FACT!!!!!!!

Can I buy NESPITHE somewhere ?? Does somebody know? I want this freakin CD if theres any possibilty!

Is there more t-shirts coming aroud? Or nothing more?

$52 only?

Thats right, you cheap bastards.

Messiah Paratroops, they were very underrated, in my expert opinion.
The only great band to come out of Kuopio…ever.

Hi!
So, what’s up with the new project(s)? Any news, line-ups, rehearsals, demos? Anything?
(yes, I lack patience:))
Thanks.

Have studio recordings been finished for the upcoming lp-cd release?
If so, when will xtreem music be pulling their thumbs out of their arses and pressing it.

DEMILICH You guys are fucking Gods. I have always loved the Nespithe CD and I think to this day it is the greatest Scandanavian Deathmetal album ever. I would like to buy your Best of CD with the bonus unreleased material but I cannot find it anywhere. I hope you guys press some more CDs!

DEMILICH FOREVER GODS

Ah,
today my replacement shirt arrived – the initial one got stolen by some postal bastard.
Different design and a bit tight but I am glad enough. 😉

Have fun rehearsing!

People who give you no time, are not worth giving time to.

Dear! deather

I SAW YOU PLAY AT THE MDDF YOU ALL KICKED FUCKING ASS

In the future I see, you wake up in the morning, pour yourself a shot of whisky, check your emails, compile your FreeBSD base system, and go outside into the wilderness around you to kill something to eat for breakfast.

Where the hell is my Robbie cd??, bastard.
Still, you deserve credit for fixing things.
Did you listen to my xysma item before it got to me?, seemed like it had been handled by some unhygienic person.

Kiitos.

Antti, you used to post (seldomly) on the Raging Metal board (http://www.raging-metal.com) Wish you still would. Sounds cliched, but you have many fans there. Wish you all the best with your future pursuits. I’m listening to The Echo as we speak.

I didnt realise you found men from Turku so attractive, Janitor mabye if you were drunk enough.

Well, I have a single your associates sent me (for some unknown reason) by Matti ja Teppo from Turku,
I can send you that if you start to miss my xysma cd.
Damn suitable for you me thinks..good thing about it is that you have an excellent record to add to your collection, plus a backup for those lonely nights.
Just let me know when you want it.

Technically, when a band signs a contract with a label, everything they record is copyrighted by the label and thus they’re the rightful owners of it. So how have you managed to avoid getting sued by Necropolis all these years? Also, how many reissues of “Nespithe” are there?

Do you consider the Century Media reissue of “Nespithe” to be official or a bootleg?

Hello! Thanks for your music, it’s really unique and for laying it out finally in .flac format. Though i have one little thing to ask you about: could you please lay out somewhere md5 checksums of .flac files? I ask because internet i have is very unstable and generally shitty and i am way too paranoid about downloading unarchived files 😉 Thanks

You say “If you’re able to get the LP, of course.” How will that be sold? Exclusively on this site? And will the cd be in stores or an online only type thing? I just don’t want to be caught off guard, gotta have these

I will start this message with an apology: I know you may have answered this previously and that it’s very dull to keep diggin’ in a boring past with rip-off record labels, but I really NEED to get these questions answered as I can only find contradictory information surfing different metal sites…

1. Did No Fashion Records ever release any copies of the record as stated on BNR Metal Pages and if so, is they considered to be first-pressing? BTW…what went wrong with the whole No Fashion-thing?

2. Is the Necropolis issue a stand-alone issue, or did they work together with Pavement which brings me to…

3. Is the Pavement/Necropolis an American license…

Hope you can spill some light over these mind-buckling queries…

/Regards

How long has the email list been up for the lp?, I (think) it was about 3 years ago when I put my name down.

You will be rich mr Boman, rich beyond your wildest dreams!! emos will be fighting over this release for decades to come!!
Ebay awaits the sale of the records, may the dumbest person with the biggest wallet win.

Is there a chinese or Indian restaurant in Kuopio?
I Just want a decent Curry or Singapore fried lice.

What have you been up to lately? Musically and otherwise. Everything good?

I will stick with the Matjes then.
(Just to make it clear, I am only interested in Oriental food, not the ‘other’ mr Boman was referring to)

Soooooo, are the Regurgitation of Blood and Rarities sections of the download page going to get some additions anytime soon? Gotta have IT ALL

Hey there, I have an mp3 version of a tape of Demilich called Rehearsals 1991-09-12, I noticed it’s not up on the site, if you guys would like me to send it to you to make it available on the site let me know. Cheers.

Got any live videos?

…and i have the “regurgitation of blood” in mp3-format, so write something here if you want to add it in the downloads, i’ll try to send it somehow.

oooh i would enjoy hearing that. ANTTI WHERE ARE YOU

Anyone have an XL Demilich shirt they’re willing to part with? Or Antti, got any extras lying around?

Hi
I love your music and your “tr00 undergroundness” (seriously !!)

just wanted to ask you

1. why didn’t you make/release more music after Nespithe? (don’t know much about the “vanishing” album)
2. What do you do for a living? (assumng there isn’t much financial gain from the band)
3. Do you/did you listen to jazz ?

Greetings Antti, I’m a huge fan. I’ve always loved your band but sadly I never got to see you guys live. I’m glad I found this place theres lots of cool stuff to keep all the old and new fans happy. Anyway just thought I’d let you know your music is still appreciated and even today still sounds as fresh and heavy as it did back then.

One more thing I’m curious about the new release. I’m just wondering if you put in your email address to the merch section are you automatically guaranteed a vinyl copy of the new demo collection??? Ill probably forget by the time it comes out so it would be nice to know if I can definitely get one, cheers dude, take it easy. Thanks.

that seems like a good system antti. I keep forgetting whether or not i put my email on the list, so it’s probably on there a few times. Now when do you think this pre-order will be up, and when will a release date be set? Is there any progress going on with it or do you just know that its going to happen eventually/sooner than later?

How’s one supposed to go about solving the lyric-cryptograms in the booklet to Nespithe?


…Or are they just random blocks of letters?

Demilich Rules!

Nah, se on paska.

I just wanna say thank for helping me get into Technical Death Metal.

2. I wanna know if there is any other band that sounds like demilich……….
any clue?

Skald said “”””””””hi again

1. Ever thought about Satanic/fascist lyrics (like Impaled Nazarene or Beherit?)

2. I wanna know if there is any other band that sounds like demilich……….
any clue?”””””””””””””””

Why would they use fascist lyrics? The grind styled vocals rules.

any update on the new releases?

On another of his benders, we wont hear from him for weeks

I listened to demilich while shooting my school up, finnish bro.

Hey man,
I’ve been listening to Demilich for years and have been enjoying it somewhat as much as Reek and Symphonies of Carcass and what’s the best it’s still insane and fresh every time I listen to it. Not to mention the feeling of demonic states of insanity caused by vices… so fucking real!
Well, I have some free time and willpower to catch your playing style down the demented scale myself as I am one of those which have the picture in my head of what the player is actually playing but I have this shitty tuning problem.
Please, specify the number of frets and strings dimension you use to get to ADGCEA tune and still have the clear sound. I’m using Ibanez RG270 that has the standard dimension fretboard(24frets), 1st string of 0.13 diameter. I guess that your guitars have extended neck size/fatter fretboard so that’s why you’re able to get clear ADGCEA tune.
Another technical thing I wanted to ask you is how you tune the bridge and neck.
Thanx for flac files, man, it really does sound alot better! Mine whole neighoburhood sends you a huge pile of “FUCK OFF&DIE” for that LOL 🙂

What have you created in me?!

Thanks for the unbelievable music!

PS: I’m no longer a WoWfag, don’t worry.

So first of all, update? Antti, where are you?

Second of all, to either Antti or the readers of this message thing…when discussing the album Nespithe, do you actually pronounce the word Nespithe or just refer to it as The Spine? And if you do call it Nespithe, how do you pronounce it? Nes-pie-th, Nes-pith. Which is correct, if any?

Thank you

I just call it Nespithe, I mean that’s whats on the cover of the album.
And I just pronounce it Nes-pith-e, but I doubt there are any rules to pronouncing made up words. Except if Antti has a rule, which I doubt he has.

May the light of Jesus shine apon the sinning heathens of the northlands this new year. Hail Jesus.

who are your favorite death metal bands and death metal vocalists? I’ve always thought of Demilich as one of the most unique death metal bands out there along with the TOTALLY unique vocal style, so I just had to ask the question…

…oh yeah, and hail Satan.

Hey! I’m a huge fan of the band(my favorite DM group ever actually) and you’re a huge influence on my own music. Saw you when you came to Houston actually, excellent show! I’ll never forget it.

I was wondering if you could check out my band, we just started recording for our first demo. I have the first song up now.

http://www.myspace.com/atrophyhouston

Thanks for your time!

So here we are, in the 2nd month of the 2008th year. Any update on the long awaited releases?

Hey Antti,

What’s the meaning behind the lobster monster on the different Nespithe coverarts and the shirts? Is it an artist’s impression of a demilich?

Are you really only 33 years old, 17/18 when Nespithe was released? What inspired you to write the music you wrote? How did you feel about the death metal scene at the time and the black metal scene in Norway?

So many questions… ah, the mysteries of life!

Why didn’t you choose Timmo Tolkki as your producer for Nespithe. We all know what an excellent job he did on Disgrace ‘Grey Misery’ and Funebre ‘Children Of The Scorn’.
Were you born in a savusauna?, just wondering with the voice and all.

Hey Antti,

Read in a response of yours a couple of months back that you didn’t like black metal as a scene or musical style. How do you feel about either today, particularly the latter?

Cheers.

Hey Antti,

Will you ever write an autobiography or a book about the Demilich story and topics like what got you into the music, how the band got together, what the scene back then was like and weird stories? If not a book, a page on the site or a journal entry about it? Did you ever tour outside of Finland with Demilich before the first split-up?

All the best!

Recently downloaded the album.

Fucking awesome.

You guys ever gonna try and get it reprinted?

AFTER WAY TOO MANY DIMENSIONS MY MAN

Hey Antti, in my neverending search for amazing finnish metal, i came across an ep by the band Depravity called Silence of the Centuries. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on this if you’ve heard it. It came out in 1993 i think

Hello! Nespithe is incredible, man. Really a masterpiece, probably my favorite album. Can you tell me what inspired the lyrics? Maybe just where the lyrics to “when the sun drank…” came from, and where the title of
“the sixteenth six-toothed son of…” came from? what does it mean?

thanks, and keep playing!

when are you going to die or release a new project? are you depressed? do you drink beer often?

You guys are outstanding. “Necroticism” era Carcass w/ I don’t know what. Truly phenomenal.

Hey Cyuonut, you should be more active on the audioscrobbler/last.fm cult-site.

Will you be staggering around the Kuopio wine festival this year?. If you cant make it I’ll grab you a Anna Abreu autograph to masturbate over at your leisure.

Hey Antti,

You ever feel nostalgic for the old days, man? What made you want to leave the metal scene (assuming you did), do you think you’ve “outgrown” metal? What bands did you like back when you played in Demilich? What was the songwriting process like, first lyrics/concept then riffs, or the other way around? How did you come up with your riffs, and were you deliberately going for that sound? Was the fact that most of your songs didn’t use verse/chorus/verse song structures intentional as well or did it just come out like that?

Killer stuff man, all the best to you.

Hey Antti. How much of the vocals where unprocessed in Nespithe? I read somewhere that there were some effects done on them in The Echo demo. Regardless, there’s not a better voice in death metal than yours.

Antti, in your esteemed opinion, does headbanging cause brain damage?

Hey,
I know it’s more expensive and doesn’t sell as well and some companies don’t even do it, but I’m just wondering if you were planning to make XXL shirts to go with the Demo compliation release?
Cheers
Joe

Still killing. Why not to print a little larger set of shirts when it is its time? ok, I never have made 1000 or even 100 post packages myself but I’m R e a l l Y enthusiastica to have just one rather in smaller size. 😛

Demilich allways fuck the mainstream musick in the ass!

True music, never heard before!

Demilich – fucking good band..
i was readed about you in polish 7Gates magazine..
hmm one year ago?..nevermind , yeasterday i found this page , then downloaded Nespithe album..great work , incredible vocals – something like Russian long-trailer truck fucked by my lawnmower!
Anyway , One of my best at this time!

hello….and so sorry that Demilich is dead…another (un)holy musical bible…sorry for my bad english…just a question or two…have you recorded some dvd ( i haven’t see you on stage) and what members do yet in music….you have an unique style, a matrice for this genre and more…thanks…thanks…for all

Are the rumors true? Are all those cryptic, non-english messages written here really just you talking to yourself? Oh how the mighty have fallen…

There isn’t much else to do in Kuopio on a friday night.. apart from talk to oneself and get drunk.

What is your opinion of Estonia? I heard that you guys practically speak the same language and the cultures are really similar. I’ve always considered Estonians to have more of a relation to Russians than Finns.

i just ordered demilich-nespithe cd. its the reissue from century media
but its got a big fat typo on the spine. says “nesphite”
what is up with that?

funny how the error is on “THE SPINE” HA.HA

Nespithen sis

nice, thx for the free music…up there with Obituary and death….good stuff…

Truly amazing this is Demilich.

I am amazed why only one album. You are more creative than this.

First there is the guttural sub-bass monster vocal which is unique. I was searching the whole net and ripping the mp3s, but there is no vocals like this. It’s the modern way of the very ancient mongolian throath-singing.

Mad drum patterns, and circulating guitar riffs, chromatic fuckedupness, some alcohol driven repetative mindfuck there, which is unique, which is never heard before.

Depicting the lyrics: dimensional teleport which consume your body, until your mouth is the only part of your remnants. Ehh, truly amazing ideas! 42th dimensional stuff, what a great mindwork there.

And YOU guys don’t want to continue this fine shit!!!!! What a pity! It’s unfair in some point, because YOU ARE great (mindfucked) musicians.

Just plug in your guitars to the halfstack marshall, and let it a ride again! Place there some fucking tapedeck and press the record button on it. Then later upload it to the net, or find a fucking record label! You guys can make it, easily.

I’m wondering, why always the best talents on earth give up teh whole thing!

But the typos make Nespithe that much more obscure….

Your voice makes me hard.

I’d be awesome if you could post the lyrics for “And the Slimy Flying Creatures Reproduce in Your Brains” or maybe even that whole album 🙂

It’s the winter now, any news?

Hiya! Nespithe is just amazing, but what does “Demilich” mean exactly?

Greetz from Germany!

Merry Shitmas to Demilich!

I keep my hands crossed until I get that shirt in my hands!

dear annti,
just wanted to let you know that my girlfriend keeps insisting that we have anal sex to nespithe.
i keep declining and opting for softer music like the beatles or lady gaga.
she says im a panzie. its not that i don’t like your music, its just that i don’t want to feel like im fucking you when im in my old lady’s hole. you know..with your deep voice and all…

Yeah, it would be like cthulhu guzzling your cock. Not a nice thought.

Use protection Boman, I dont want you getting AIDS and delaying the release date any further.

For the 397 LPs, since there are over 1000 emails added, will the first 397 people be chosen or will 397 randoms be chosen?

I’m visiting Finland soon from the states. Where do I go to see Mr. Bowman? Are there just leaflets handed out on the street for guys like him, like in Vegas?

What is it that you burp out in the song “And the Slimy Flying Creatures Reproduce in Your Brains” after the solo? (2:28 – 2:40)

is there any possibility of getting embroidered patches made? that would be awesome.

Antti, on the inside cover of Nespithe, are you wearing a Human Remains shirt. If so, do you still have it/want to give it to me in exchange for my soul and/or money?

Bonjour. I just found out about you guys and I love you guys’s work on Nespithe (especially the vocals, definatly stands out from the other tech death bands out there).

Anyway, not to be mean, but what the heck is a Demilich? and a Nespithe? What made you pick those names?

maybe a FAQ section should be added to this site…

Hey Antii,
Greetings from India! Nespithe is amazing, cheers!

Hello Antti, I’m curious about the new vinyl version of Nespithe, have you got any idea of the pressing info? I’ve tried looking everywhere and all I can find is the same couple of lines that are on the XTREEM site. Have you got any more helpful info on it?

CHEERS MATE!!!!

Give us some new tabs to play with, please…

according to xtreem’s website, they are damn near sold out of all of the Nespithe LPs. WOW

Hi Antti. At first I’d like to congratulate you for (de)composing the sickest demos and full-length ever. The main matter that leads me to write into this board is the curiosity of what’s the man doing nowadays. Are you currently involved with any musical project? Would you like to? On the other hand, I think your lyrics were always something really morbidly appealing. Have you ever thought of writing a book with some of your bizarre stories? I’m pretty sure a lot of fans would gladly purchase it (at least I would).

Last but not least, sorry for my not-so-good English.

hey all you maniax, anyone else feel like the LP version of nespithe is slightly faster? or am I drunk?

yes!

You should pick up martial arts.

Hey Antti,

Do you have a day job or night job? I assume death metal doesn’t make much money and I’m curious if you have a job of some sort.

Hey Antti,

How did you choose the album picture for Nespithe?

Why did you name the album Nespithe? I know it means the spine, but is it symbolic for something or did you think it was a cool album title? Why not name it Hmacstothe or (dare I say it?) Risnorckchuthe?

It must be extremely hard working in the record store with all the groupies and fans trying to bask in your musical presence. I don’t know how you do it.

To do with my previous post, I apologise for Risnorckchuthe. I made a slight error with it. What I meant was isorrcknchuthe.

C++ and groupies?

Hey I was wondering does the bassist (since you had 3 and I can`t figure out which one it was) on nespinthe use a 5 or a 6 string bass? and will you be releasing any bass tabs?

Hey Antti,

What were the main musical influences you had in Demilich?

I apologise, I have done it wrong again. It is isorrcknchuthe. I am certain I have gotten it right this time.

Antti im trying to learn The Echo on bass! do i just follow your part or does the bass do somthing else? also why is it that you don’t want to realese any more tab? is it a personal thing (one that does not need to be reavealed) or is it that you dont have them ready?

Do you have a favourite song from Nespithe?

Hey Antti,

Can you summarise a normal day in the life of Antti?

xtreem music is now selling a new cd re-release of Nespithe. Here’s the description

Ultimate re-issue of the ultra-mega-legendary album from ’93 by these finnish masters of ultra-guttural, technical and heavy Death Metal. Remastered for the very first time ever, comes with full coloured 12-pages booklet with improved layout design, exclusive interview and liner notes. Also includes their “Four Instructive Tales… of Decomposition” Demo ’91 as bonus. An essential timeless classic!!

AWESOME

“We only had one gig outside Finland, and it was our last. It was in Eskilstuna, Sweden, and it was great.”

Did I see an evil Demilich-clone band in Houston, then!? :O

Favourite Pestilence album? What did you think of Spheres?

Balls

Hey Antti,

what made you choose to play guitar and form a band?

Hey Antti. Do you like the band Khanate? I think Demilich and Khanate are two of the most unique bands out there.

http://metal-archives.com/review.php?id=1037

Looks like your work has death-metal heads everywhere raving (the 7 reviews average 96%). Nice job with Nespithe; it is definitely one hell of an album.

I might have seen it answered somewhere else in the message list, but I’ve no clue where it is anymore, and it’s not an FAQ, so I’ll ask the question again: what exactly inspires your lyrics?

Is the new Nespithe-reissue remixed?

Hey Antti! I think you should upload some songs to the Demilich page on Last.fm! That way everyone can hear your great music, and you can make it downloadable if you want (probably the case).

http://www.last.fm/music/Demilich

Ah, nice, nice. I suppose only that can adequately explain “When the Sun Drank the Wight of Water”. (Now I got that riff stuck in my head!)

What album art would you have preferred for Nespithe? I vaguely remember reading something about the actual one not being what you had in mind–effectively creepy though it is. (Beige corpses! WAAAAGH!)

PS: The intro riff in “The Putrefying Road […]” is freakin’ sweet. Is there any chance you’ll make more tabs?

PPS: “I think, therefore I listen to death metal.” Translate to Finnish, please!

…the WEIGHT of Water.”

Gotta love typos. But of course, if I leave it uncorrected, people will think I can’t spell…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5CgB4dB0NU

Old Confessor video from 1988.

If any new shirts come out will they be U.S. sizes

How and when will Demilich stimulate the world economy? Is the global supply of personal lubricants [ironically] large enough for this task? I’ll do whatever it takes to help. Be gentle.

Can`t wait for compilation.Oh mate..:)What`s up?

Hey Antti,

I was wondering what your opinion was on Cosmic Atrophy http://www.myspace.com/atrophyhouston.

They are the only band that I consider similar to Demilich without any sort of stretch of the imagination.

Hello Man i am a Big Fan of Demilich i jst lisn all songs an demo’s also it’s gud rips an cool music so like it so plz update abt Demilich k
thanx

Hello… quick question…

I am confused to hell with all these (Nespithe) pressings I see on the internet… what are the official ones? …and is the first one solely released by Necropolis or in alliance with Pavement?

Thanks and I sent my email for the next batch of shirts = )

Hey Antti,

I play both guitar and bass, so I was wondering if you recall what gear (guitars, basses, strings, etc.) you guys used back when you recorded Nespithe. I love the guitar tone on the album, and the heavy, crushing bass is killer.

Thanks for the great music.

dood do some tabs please! i beggeth of thou. pleaseith doith some tabby wabbies! would it help if i told you that you are GOD?

I love Demilich. I like the most brutal stuff i.e. Despondency, Repudilation, Putridity, Ingested etc. but Demilich has a timeless quality, way ahead of their time. Great job guys, you probably didn’t notice, but you guys had a huge impact on the brutal death metal scene. One of the first. Cheers.

Where da “Regurgitation of Blood” files at? I haven’t found anything pertaining to it in the FAQs.

From chile they are a tremendous band, from 94 to that I listen … aarrhhh monstrous and disgusting … guys amazing … without words

Hey Antti,

Where have you been? I’ve noticed you haven’t been answering the messages.

Hi Antti,
I just want to say I loved Demilich’s music ever since my brother bought your “For Instructive Tales” demo way back in ’91 from you. Also you thanked him by putting his name in the Nespithe thanks list.

Greetings Antti, hope this finds you well.

My question is…Well, I’m wondering what peoples reactions were and how the album was generally received when you released Nespithe in 1993. I imagine it went over a lot of peoples heads back then but I’m guessing as time went on more people began to recognise the album for what it is. Correct? (being only a toddler in Australia at the time of release I missed my chance at supporting you guys :(…)

I’m still yet to hear anything that matches up with that monster of an album. THANKYOU for writing those excellent riffs. Its always something to draw inspiration from.

Looking forward to some fresh merch and anything Demilich related in the future.

Peace.

I just read the lyrics for the first time while listening to the music. It made it so much better. I’d read the lyrics before, and I thought they were great, but I’d never paired them with the music. Thank you Antti, I just jizzed a little.

Yeah just that shirts from Europe always seen smaller then U.S. ones. Like a Xl fells like a L

Hello I just wanted to say that is the most guttural vocals I have ever heard and I loved the album “Nespithe”. Great job!!!!!

Hey Antti,

What made you decide to sign to Necropolis Records over other records labels such as Earache and Relapse?

Hey Antti,

Have you listened to Cynic? Have you read any Franz Kafka and/or H.P Lovecraft?

Hello, how are you doing?

I just have two questions if you would like to answer them. First, what of the lyrics to the last three songs on the Four Instructive Tales? Also, what sort of technique did you use to get your particular growling sound?

Thanks for that masterpiece Nespithe, nothing else I can add, stay metal my friend and cheers from Puerto Rico \m/

I’ve always wondered, how do your vocals sound different on every record? Think about it.

“The Four Instructive Tales…of Decomposition”: A powerful, sonorous burp. Pitch-shifted on some occasions, but no biggie. No way anybody could go lower than what you already do naturally.

“…Somewhere Inside the Bowels of Endlessness”: A rather dry, staccato burp.

“The Echo”: A much deeper burp, with lots of rumble to it. (Most notably in the first verse of the title track.)

“Nespithe”: A sort of alien-frog-like feel is added. (Most apparently in the first verse of “When the Sun Drank the Weight of Water”. (Ha, no typo!))

Is it just the production, or…?

Greetings from Lviv, Ukraine-)
Just want to thank you for your great masterpiece. Nespithe is satanically divine)
Really hope for new LP.

Sounds logical.

Yet another vocal-related question: how did you LEARN to death-growl? I’ve been trying to teach myself for a while now, but mostly I’ve just been sort of talking from the lowest point of my Adam’s apple. Dunno if that’s good or not (most likely not), but…

Perhaps via vocal coach would be a better idea. But how did you do it?

I’m gonna kill you one day

hi,
your music is proof that god does exist.

I saw pestilence live earlier this year. I guess as you are a huge Pestilence fan you would try to go seem them live and listen to their new disc. I saw you read that you didnt listen to it in an older message but i assume you would have by now. I wonder what your thoughts are about Pestilence being back and everything.

Also saw that winterwolf has a release out now, must check it out just because you are in it.

of course the mandatory:
I would love to hear new stuff, see some tabs and new merch.

bands may come and bands may go but demilich is forever

I’m gonna kill you one day
>>Sounds logical.

Made my day, that did.

Hey Antti,

Do you listen to much Black Metal? Which bands? What band/album is your favourite?

Hey Antti,

What did you do after Demilich disbanded? Such as for work, music, et cetera.

Say, wherever are the lyrics to “TFIT…oD”?

What’s up Antti?

Ozzy or Dio?

first off i wanted to say your music is like nothing i have ever heard it insanly amazing and i was just wondering if you were going to post any more albums and if any merchandise was on the way thanks

What band have inspired you over the years? And What do you think of the metal scene that has come around this day and age?

How do you pronounce Demilich and what exactly does it mean? I just recently started listening to your old band but it’s easily one of my favorite death metal records of all time! Cheers from Mississippi (U.S.).

Nevermind, sorry. Read a little more and answered my own question. But anyways, great music Antti. You’re going to be a big influence on my guitar playing. Thanks!

What record label did the original pressing of Nespithe. I want an original physical copy for my CD collection. I’ve seen a lot of Pavement Records versions but is that a reissue or do they distribute for Necropolis Records??? I’m confused. Thanks in advance!

One last question Antti! How do you do your vocals? Are they pitch-shifted or in any way altered in the studio? And are they inhales or exhales? Ha, done bothering you now, thanks for the information!

Are you mostly into metal or do you listen to other genres of music and if so what bands do you listen to and have inspired you? And what do you think of Pantera? Thanks.

I listen to a lot of metal and wanted to know if you had any suggestions on other bands that you would suggest either older or newer bands thanks antti.

Had you ever listened to King Crimson before recording Nespithe? I feel some similarity to mood and build of their compositions.

Hey Antti, what is your opinion on Demilich tabs? Do you care if people find them by ear or do you like Demilich songs to stay a secret?

I can’t wait for a new batch of shirts I need one

Well antti just do one or two tabs a month and if people wanna “learn by ear” they don’t have to look at them. ALL HAIL DEMILICH

Hey Antti,

What do you think of Blind Guardian? It’s been asked before but what bands/artists do you listen to these days?

And what’s it like making the transition from death metal guy to software/IT specialist? Have you seen the movie Musta j

Is it ok for me to use “When the Sun Drank the Weight of Water” in a school project?

Me again with yet more questions! I’m quite the inquisitive soul, it seems.

About the title of “The Planet that Once Used to…”, how is a planet suffocated TO flesh? I’ve never seen that verb and that preposition used in conjuction with each other — do enlighten me.

Also, wherever did you get your knack for writing the riffs in Nespithe? They’re ALMOST random-sounding, but they’re all coherent at the same time. Oxymoronic/paradoxical, almost. (I can never tell between the two.)

PS: I can do a very slightly convincing vocal cover of “The Echo (Replacement)”. Just throwing that out there.

PPS: I posted a note on Facebook called “Ironic brutal death metal”; I think you might enjoy it.

I’m sure it didn’t inspire Demilich since you were apparently living in a cave while writing for the band, but have you ever read William S. Burroughs’ “Naked Lunch”? The dark humor seems way too far up your alley.

I also remember some years back on a message board you mentioned that you had been listening to African percussion, or at least had become interested in it. Did you end up with any favorites, or anything worth recommending to Demilich fans.

p.s. if you could also post tabs of your vocals…:)

Re: your vocals – based on what you demonstrated in Helsinki, I’d describe the technique as you pulling your trachea (windpipe) open in a way that makes it rattle with a specific resonance when you exhale, then you shape the words with your mouth. It’s not vocal chords half as much as it is throat and diaphragm. I think we need to get you into a CT machine so we can see what’s going on. Either way, I’m convinced this is just your freaky biology and it cannot be taught. 😉

Greetings, Demilich!
I don’t really have any real questions or anything, I just want to thank you for making amazing music.
All the best to you guys!

Just wanted to say, I greatly appreciate your music!
I also love that you put your songs up for download, true artists give their creations not for the sole means of profit.

i had the best dream last night! after your last show you guys made a new cd the cover looked like a red Necronomicon face the new songs were fucking inhumanly insane (which i’m trying to remember/ tab out) it was great……then i woke up and cried cause it aint gunna happen

I had a dream last night where all my teeth fell out.

I had a dream last night where I had great sex with many fantastic women including your mother. And I still had my teeth.

fhtagn fhtagn!

Man, trust me, she is quite a tough one. Still I had a sauna and a Karhu or two before I made my manly escape towards a Neste near Kuopio where I had a shower,kahvi and a (few) pint(s) of Lapin Kulta to recover. I sill feel used.

If we both drink beer and answer messages at 4 am..this might just work out 😉

Hey Antti, it seems that you are prejudiced towards women and children? It would be insightful for me to learn what inspiration is behind the morbid artwork, as well as grotesque lyrics. Thanks man, respect for your contributions to the scene, however the music is too heavy for me and has inspired some evil and thought provoking imagery.

Are you a fan of Morbid Angel? If so what is your favorite album by them?

When you were in school did you like it? And In high shool what were some classes you took?

Hello again, can you please get the forthcoming show in Finland taped and release it as a dvd or something?

I am just wondering, what colour underpants you wear, and whether they are ‘y’ fronts. Pardon my intrusion into your crotch dressing, but I am interested in your tonal qualities.

Hello Antti, I just wanted to ask whether you attended confirmation school. And did you ever get to touch or fondle the priests chalice?

What tunings did you guys use for the songs in Nespithe? I just want to know cause that would make it easier to figure out by ear (I am pretty good at learning by ear if I do say so myself).

How old are you?

Where did you go to college?

What has inspired your lyrics?

Do you listen to any 80’s punk rock such as Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Black Flag, D.R.I., Verbal Abuse, etc.?

What do you think of guns n roses?
Are you a fan of Slayer?

Oh, d’oh. You can already tell I live in America from my having asked that.

Happy belated Chuck Schuldiner day, by the way.

I read somewhere that there will be a future pressing of ‘v34ish6ng 0f emptiness’ on CD and ’em9t2ness of van2s1ing’ on LP. Any news on that? Release date?

Hi. I was just listening to (Within) The Chamber of Whispering Eyes, and I was wondering if you knew that Whispering Eye is a very old term for a vagina.

Hail from Hungary! In my opinion, your music is certainly one of the greatest moments of metal. I was wondering if you have any t-shirts left in store, because I would love to purchase one if that is possible.. I would also be interested in an authentic Nespithe CD, but I don’t even dare to think there is any left that I could buy from you or anywhere…
Greetings,

Sorry I just recently heard of Demilich and I must say I am going to pick up anything I can find or order, but (and I hope this isn’t a stupid question) how did you guys cease to be? The music is wonderful and has great potential… did you all diverge and take up different bands? If so what are they?

P.S. I read here that you tuned to A… is that on a six string? and if so what guage strings did you have to use in order for everything to sound decent?

Who did your art for “Four Tales” and also your shirt designs ?? It is killer by the way! A bit like the art of the old ‘zines (Slayer, etc etc) – Lainen/Moyen (and all the other awesome artists of the “era”)

Would be great to see more art like this – any way to get in contact with the artist anymore ?

Anyhow, from “The land down under” (Australia haha!) “G’day” ! and hope all is well in your sphere!

What do you mean when you say you hate the scene? Is the Death Metal genre becoming less enjoyable to be a part of due to contemporary bands and new (and sometimes terrible) bands? I thought this was disconcerting since I am really interested in starting a band and trying to play Death Metal……

hey imma trying to tab the bass part of The Echo and I need help on that part 2:15 into the song. you know the part w/ the massive string skiping. could you please help me w/ that part please?

thank you good sir. you are a godsend

I remember reading that if aliens ever discover 1 piece of music from humanity, Nespithe would be the only option/ Cant agree more with that. Timeless music that resonates with the very universe. Greetings from South Africa.

Hi, just have a few questions about the merch section. Just recently took a look at all the shirts and I was wondering how to order them.

Have you heard of Nauseant? They’re from Stockholm, and they seem to draw a heavy influence from your music.

All of the shirt orders that were placed before the “incident” are still good to go?

WTF I just came from my work and now I can’t order any shirt, that was fast! If I see any of you lucky guys selling any of those on ebay i’ll hunt you down. Cheers Antti!

Vuodesta ’06 roikkunu listoilla ja sitten my

What is this yet another final gig! I hope by gig you mean one final US tour. Because, we all know that everyone would love that. No one doesn’t like Demilich. Also, i support the idea of white shirts. Black logo with demon on the front with that grisly scene on the back…with red highlights on the gore like the old old version. Mm…yeah

To everyone who missed preordering the new shirts, i just saw that there is a Demilich shirt with the spine backprint from the 2006 tour up on ebay. Search demilich and you’ll see it!

Ahh read the email much too late!
Great to see so many fans are still following you guys, cheers from Australia.

gawd damn! i got the email the other day and just thought i’d leave it for a few days as I didn’t have any money on my card. I go to order one now and see that you guys have had crazy demand for the tshirts and had to reserve a bunch for the last show. jeez, just goes to show how appreciated you guys are. Wish you guys would have come to australia
=(

Agreed with the man below. I hope you realize how appreciated you are as a band. Do you know if the shirt orders will ship before or after the gig in a few days?

How was the Standard Whore gig that went on in June? I haven’t read anything about it

I love you guys! I have wanted a shirt for years but the ebay prices are to high. Any chance I will be able to get shirts/sweatshirts sometime soon? Cheers!

Hello, I am curious, what was the set for the last show? Thanks!

Sorry to be a bother about this, but when are the second batch of shirts coming in? It says they were supposed to have been ready by Tues. 24 but I haven’t received any notification yet.

lotta spam up in here

Are you an Incantation fan, by any chance?

Hails! Can you write tabs for “When the Sun Drank the Weight of Water”? Wanted to use that lick at 2:21 as a tribute to Demilich at the end of one of my songs

How does it feel having made one of the (if not the) best death metal albums of all endless eternity?

are the t-shirt/hoodie sales still set to happen or did i miss it?

also; what was your inspiration for making such a monumental album, that has legitamely passed the test of time?

Also, what are some of your favorite death metal bands? more just wondering wat an artist like urself enjoys to listen to

Hey there! Will Xtreem Records be pressing any more copies of ‘Nespithe’ on vinyl and/or cd?

Thanks!

Hails!

Are the t-shirts available now?

i’ve seen some shirts on ebay, same as pictures, absolute jew-ass prices

Thanks in advance!

I just read the comment where you said that you guys were thinking about starting a new band, any ideas in terms of direction or anything of the sort? It would be excellent to hear some new material from you fine folks.
Regards!

So, you mean, there will be the same red-black shirts like the ones on E-Bay soon because I nearly bought one, although I bought one of the black-white version from you back then? The red Design looks fantastic, never knew this version of the shirt exists

How long till the compilation album is released?

Kuulin kylillä huhua että joku noheva/teikäläiset olisi nauhottanut Henkan/Oulun/molemmat keikat. Pystytkö vahvistamaan vai kusetettiinko taas hyväuskosta? Pistä ihmeessä jakoon tai myyntiin kauniissa paketissa, jos teikäläisellä on sormet ollu pelissä.

How do you pronounce Demilich? Is it a ch sound or k sound at the end? My friend and I were arguing on who was saying it right.

All Hails Antii + Demilich, All Hails very much to the band ,i have crawled out of my retched hive to leave words….Many thanks, you still have an eternal true following in the south winds of New Zealand, your growls were heard loud and clear here
for many years by a few but never the less clear,we are still here, i would have very much liked to come to your last show,not to be…. i still have your demos and 1st album that will always be enough for me. whatever anybody may say about Demilich, there will never be another.Many memorable years listening have i had and hopefully many more to come.Never to be forgotten.The most fuckn inhumen vocals i have ever heard in my life.Good times……

Hi there,


I waS wondering if there’s something known about the shirts that would be printed in january? I would really like to buy one!
Thanks also for keeping the name Demilich alive!!



Hugo

the compilation cd is really to be released?

Tervehdys. Varmaan joku joskus kysyny teidän soittotaustaanne, mutta kysympä itsekin. Elikkäs tyyliin, ootteko ollu opetukseessa, vai itseopiskelleita soittajia ja ootteko kuinka kauan soitellu ja onko minkälaista kaikkea tullu reenailtua? P.S Minkä paksuset kielet kitaroissa ja onko ihan tavallisen pituinen kaula, vai jotkut erikoisvehkeet?

Hey!
I’ll save you all the ass-kissing i could write here and go straight to the point. When the shirts come out, can you ship internationally? I’m not sure if i will be able to get hold of them in Poland, so i’d love to know beforehand.
Cheers,
Jan

PS. Can’t resist. I love Demilich and to me, it’s music is one of the biggest musical inspirations. This and Gorguts’ Obscura.

Sorry if it was already asked, but what do you think about the Nesphite reissue from Xtreem? I’m talking about the remastering, does it sound good according to you? Thanks in advance.

I’m sure others have asked too but whats wrong with the merchandise,i would really like a t-shirt so I want to know please inform about

Glad the shirts are here so people can stop getting hysterical and bombarding Antti with messages regarding when they are to be available again.

Just ordered one of those brutes! Looking forward to it arriving.

Many thanks Antti!!

Oh god, I didn’t check my e-mail and missed out on getting a shirt that will actually fit me…Will more medium sized shirts be printed at some point?

Hello. I’ve already emailed you, please disregard it. I would like to interview one of you (preferably Antti),for a school project of mine. Thanks

What are the principle bands that influenced Demilich?

So I’ve figured out the guitars Antii and Aki use are the Charvel 375 and Ibanez 560. I’m pretty sure the amp is a Marshall JCM800 2203 (most likely). What about distortion pedals? Is it a Boss HM-2?

I had a couple of questions. First what tuning do you use for Demilich, and what do you think of the death metal scene today? I feel it’s lost a lot and I just wanted to know an artists opinion.

Hei Antti, ootko kuunnellut polytone-radioasemilta kuuluvia ääniviestejä ja ottanu niistä vaikutteita musiikkiin. On muuten outoa kamaa ja tulee tavallaan jotkut Demilich-riffit mieleen? Tai oletko ylipäätään ottanut vaikutteita oudoimmista lähteistä, kun perus metallimusiikki?

Please do make more prints of DLICHTS003, the logo shirt!

Are the Nespithe tracks on this website taken from the reissue/remaster, or the original pressing? And what’s the difference between the sound of the original and the reissue?

Hey, my question is: on the back of the CD case for Nespithe, track number 7 is “And You’ll Remain…(In Pieces of Nothingness),” but everywhere else I check (and even on this website in the dowload section) it shows it as “(In Pieces In Nothingness).” Was it a misprint? Yeah, I know it’s something insiginficant but I’m pretty sure I have OCD and it’s always bothered me. One more thing…how did you guys come up with those strange, otherworldy riffs?? \m/

I wish I had heard about you guys sooner :'(
Then, maybe instead of some gay wannabe core band playing at Warped Derp, I would be going to see you guys somewhere out beyond the fifth dimension.
Now, I guess, it’s a good thing you didn’t go for a concept album, for I’m not sure if big ol’ Elder One would take to that too kindly.
But seriously, you guys were a truly immense band with some insanely great music, and it pains me that I can never see you guys perform; however, your decision is entirely respectable and understandable…how do you follow up something as magnificently brutal as Nespithe? Nevertheless, I wish to all of you chaps, wherever you may be, good tidings and happy fortunes.

Hello Folks…!!!!
I from Czech Republic…and I wish new album a reunion…!!! Make,make 🙂

Hello,

what do you think about the return of Demigod? I remember reading you liked their debut and you’re both from the same small country so maybe you even know each other.

Hopefully they challenge you to get off your ass and record/release some new material 🙂

will you have anymore of “the sixteenth tooth” shirts available in MEDIUM or Large anytime soon? thanks

I would like to thank you for taking the time to release an album even though you stated that you grew to detest the scene before you released the album. I am waiting for you to sell another batch of t-shirts as I would like to purchase a large sized Demilich t-shirt.

You guys are awesome.
Your music is fantastic, an absolute and undeniable classic.
Your website is also brilliant.
A big thank you for both making the music in the first place, and making it available to everyone who is interested!

Abysmal (FL) demos LP is out. The LP is now available. It can be purchased through Iron Bonehead (Germany) http://ironbonehead.de/shop/ and the band directly at abysmal.legions@gmail.com

Death… The ancient way!

So, Antti, what’s up? Long time don’t hear.

great riffs on your album, and i though morbid angel had awesome guitar work. how did you come up with it all?

and play some shows in the u.s.
now.
