Nespithe (Blk)

All Demilich demo material plus recordings from 2006 in a snappy double LP package. Compiled together with the band, this is the ultimate Demilich demo compilation. In the late days of the early life of death metal in the early nineties, the death metal "community" had strayed from an appreciation of the majestic possibilities of sound, and were making a mundane product instead. They wanted the most "brutal" sound so the largest crowd could hear it, consider themselves "extreme," and go back to work with a hangover. This made the music escape it's tiny audience, but killed off exploration as well. In addition, it was defensive and under-confident, feeling it's chops lagged behind the rock, blues and jazz genres. Stagnation struck even as the genre accelerated.
