biografía : Demontage

Demontage spawned in early 2001, over a night of beer, THC and blasphemous occult summonings. The purpose of the Great Channeling, conducted by compatriots Spatilomantis and Abominatrix, was to call forth a malign, devillish entity to inhabit a shell of mortality and wreak havoc upon the Earth. The resultant recording of this Horrible Night, "Retroexorcism", became the first declaration of Demontage and brought to mind ancient hymns of black metal forefathers Bathory, Hellhammer and Darkthrone.

Both the perpetrators of this scourge upon all things sensible and good were then to be found shaped as wolves in the obscure fog of the feral cult of Gaurhoth. This cult wished to use strident, warlike melodies and venomous exhalations revealing the passion of J. R. R. Tolkien's creations in the manner of the newer Nordic black metal bands. Alas, this group of aspiring journeymen spilled much internal blood and the cult of Gaurhoth was unceremoniously laid to rest and buried. Hence, the two practitioners were left merely human until they returned to the cellar where the blasphemous invocations of the Antichrist had taken place the night the nubile young creature was imbued with the supreme will of Satanas! Once unleashed, however, the forces that brought this company together and savagely brought forth their creative fire could not be contained nor quenched. More and more warlike emissaries of Hades were dragged forth from the pit to feed on the world and spit forth their sardonic vitriol onto the human race.

After Temujen the Basstard joined the fold on four string gastroyer, the trio was complete and could finally bring the musical fruition that had been dreamed of for so long. These early efforts became the "Madness Disease" demo recording. This is the most stripped down and basic recording without any overdubs, polishing or refinement. Some gigs were played and reasonably received, although as yet the journeymen of Demontage were inexperienced and this lack of knowledge made it difficult to attain the level that was hoped for. New songs called for more variation in tempo and feel, more epic riffs, as well as more all-out thrashing rage.

In mid-2005, just after Demontage's abortive attempt to record a full-length album, Temujen decided that he was no longer able to give his will to the Dwellers of the Gulf during the requisite taxing ritual summonings, and so the brothers of Demontage bade him farewell. After some listless months Fortune smiled her toothless and rotting visage upon Demontage, and Pervertis joined the ranks. Pervertis was a musician with a great deal of experience and an uncanny ability to understand exactly what was needed to expand upon already existant material. Pervertis and the rest of the band harnessed this newfound skill to imbue the emerging hymns of "Sacrilege and Miscreancy" with a fresh approach and new melodic ideas.

In the spring of 2006, then, Demontage finally felt ready to record "Sacrilege 'n' Miscreancy". This meant five filth-begotten metal symphonies for the most part as yet unheard except by those who witnessed the live assaults of Demontage, plus a re-sculpting of "Carrion Race", the thrashiest song on the "Madness Disease" demo. The album was released by Unsung Heroes in August.
