Demonium is five piece Death Metal band hailing from the South Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. The sound of the band is best described as extremely heavy with plenty of groove and the occasional fast outburst and odd timing teeth ripping riff.

Formed in 2002 by drummer James Sheean. Demonium went through several line-up changes between 2002 - 2005 before getting the steady line up of today. The bands original sound was best described as old school thrash/death metal as heard on the Death Defying Demo, which was released in 2004. Just over a month later the band was hit hard with the sudden death of the vocalist at the time by the name of Nick Walker.

The band would take a break and find a new vocalist and continue on for another year playing their current songs at the time until half the band decided to leave in early 2005.

After Demonium gained a steady line-up around the time of '05/'06. The band went on a writing rampage and didn't gig for over 2 years. By mid 2007 Demonium were back in the gigging scene fronted by vocalist The Teeth Subjector adding more diversity, theatrics and different ideas to the band. Groove, odd timings, samples and a much tighter modern sound were just some of the new things that were brought to the band with the new line-up.

Recently Demonium have just released a new sampler disc by the name of Horrid Engorgement. A few tracks can be heard on the Demonium MySpace Page.
The band will be playing plenty of shows this year so hope to see you at them.
