DEMISER will be touring in support of their Slave To The Scythe full-length, released in August via Black Light Media/Metal Blade Records.
The DEMISER collective features Demiser The Demiser (occult liturgic blasphemy), Gravepisser (six-stringed Satanic fukklord), Phallomancer (abysmal rhythm of death), Defiler (dismal baritone curator), and Infestor (purveyor of percussive bile). The nine-track Slave To The Scythe is a devastatingly intense slab of work; an aural harbinger of hellish intent that sees the band blend ‘80s thrash, first-wave black metal, death metal, and a healthy dose of NWOBHM.
Slave To The Scythe is available on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in “Carbureted Fire.”

DEMISER formed in 2017 with the mission of “getting big enough to get a free bar tab,” they say, with no trace of irony. The five men want to drink and play brutally heavy music. They describe the DEMISER sound as, “fast-ripping black thrash with some dirty rock ‘n’ roll influence at times. As we’ve continued writing, we’ve come more into what DEMISER’s sound is rather than setting out to sound like a specific genre”.
The band’s influences include the likes of Venom, Bathory, Slayer, Motörhead, and Destrӧyer 666, plus movies like Terminator 2, Commando, and Predator (“pretty much anything Schwarzenegger really”). The overarching themes on Slave To The Scythe are essentially “hell, fire, and hellfire”. There are no ballads, no love songs – this is devilish music for devilish people that was largely written on the road.
“Slave To The Scythe is an album soaked in gasoline, covered in brimstone, and reeking of swamp ass.” – Nine Circles
“Working in their favor is the tongue-in-cheek attitude that made Through The Gate Eternal so endearing. Slave To The Scythe, if anything, leans further into the fuck-all mindset of blistering guitars, hellish themes and pedal-to-the-metal delivery.” – Teeth Of The Divine
“…the work of a band of men determined to destroy everything in their path, and represents the sound of a band on the rise, momentum firmly in their favor, waving the metal flag with pride and fury.” – All Father Metal
“…their music may have evolved, their message of hell and mayhem stays firm.” – Heavy Music HQ
“The groove is unrelenting. The blasphemy is thick. The rock ‘n’ roll is pure boisterous revelry. These three pillars are abundant on each track.” – Metal Digest
