DEMURE began in the summer of 2000 near Dallas, Texas. Influenced by Punk, Crust, Death/Black Metal and Grindcore – DEMURE combined these elements to create a sound & style unique to any genre. After 6 months of jamming, the line-up of Xaphan, Matte, Roach, Dune and Mass began playing shows in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, opening for local Punk, Hardcore and Metal acts. In May of 2001 DEMURE recorded their first 6 song demo at their home and have since distributed several hundred on CDR or cassette tape. Soon after the recording, DEMURE began to play every other weekend at clubs such as Graffiti's Rock Room, Dream World, Rubber Gloves, The Tattoo Bar, Galaxy Club, Mad Ivan's, Mac Stack, Canyon Club, Sanctuary, The Hemphill, Division One, and various house parties in the D/FW area. Having opened for such bands as Prophecy and Averse Sefira, DEMURE always manage to impress the crowds, creating quite a fan base for themselves in Texas. During this string of shows DEMURE recorded a second “live” demo in the summer of 2002, including live versions of songs from the first demo as well as newer songs previously unrecorded. The “live” demo has also reached fans, zines, and venues numbering in the hundreds. This release would see DEMURE playing even more local shows, traveling to play in Oklahoma, Louisiana, and even spawned a small tour of California opening for the bands World of Lies and Psypheria. Just before that tour, DEMURE re-recorded some old songs and some new material for a third demo, some songs of which can be found online. After the shows in California, DEMURE went thru a major line up change. Losing Matte on drums and Roach on guitar, Enki joined on Drums and DEMURE went on as a four piece. Several months passed as Enki carried them thru 2003's stage shows and another “live” demo recorded in early 2004. Now with Exhumer joining on second guitar and many shows still ahead in 2004, DEMURE continue proving themselves to be an excellent example of the Underground Extreme Metal Music scene. Still searching for a label to call home, DEMURE plan to tour again outside of Texas and will continue writing material for an album in the future.
