Demigod slumber of sullen eyes
Melody is also worked into the mix by supplementing or accentuating the original riff with great finesse and control. The tempos range from slow to mid-paced, as heavy palm-muted strumming and slow Doom riffs are contrasted against low tremolo riffing and counter-point melodies. The comparisons with Morbid Angel end there, as sonically this album is a part of the melodic tendencies of the Scandinavian movement, not nearly as influenced by the Speed Metal of the 80s. Originating its roots in such albums as Morbid Angel’s “Blessed Are The Sick”, the style of progressive riff-development is adopted, with intricate melodic workings and playful technique being incorporated into songs that include more ideas than some whole albums. This is “Slumber Of Sullen Eyes”, the clashing of two polar forces chaos and beauty, as we find that they aren’t so unrelated after all.Īesthetically, the core of this, Demigod’s debut album, is straight-up Death Metal that pulverises from start to finish crushing any mere mortal that finds itself on the same path. Then, like an eagle made out of solid stone comes the storm of furious Death Metal tremolo swooping on its prey with the force of a hammer. Demigod's style of music has found its final shape and the line-up has finally set in to its place as well.Īll is at calm everything is in order, as the tranquil keys of “Apocryphal” manifest images of birds frolicking in the midst of sunrays beaming through the forest roof. In the beginning of 2005 the new material for the third album is ready. The album includes various songs easily spanning the ten years period after the “Slumber Of Sullen Eyes”. Second album "Shadow Mechanics" was released in July 2002. After some difficulties and setbacks Demigod signed a record deal with Spikefarm Records in 2001.

In early 1998 the members decided to awaken the slumbering Demigod again. Their musical variety got wider and lots of new great songs were written although the band kept a very low profile during that time. After a short silence the band started to rehearse again. Despite the good response from press and fans those tapes had, the band split up temporarily. As a result the band recorded two tight promo-tapes in 19. The music style experienced a slight change towards a more aggressive and thrashier direction. The band played many live shows in the early 90's.
