Demether is metal / gothic / sympho / nympho metal
band from Serbia. Demether story
... begins in June 2002 when Damjan Deuric (keyboards and vocal) and Darko
Viskovic (guitars and vocal) started working on a couple of songs in characteristically
gothic and acoustic manner (acoustic guitar, Hammond organ and deep male
vocal). Damjan's sister Dunja helped them by singing back vocals in undefined
voice. With a couple of gigs and a few recorded demo songs, it seemed that
everything will stay that way...
In the Winter of that (2002) year, Momir Tabacki
(guitar) and Vlada Mucalov (bass) joined the band and the work on the songs
that would mark the following routh of Demether started. The problem
of the drummer was solved just before the recording of the first single scheduled
for January 2003, when Attila Benk (drums) joined the band.
The songs on
the first single were publicly broadcasted for the first time on Radio 202
in
April 2003 when the band was officially presented to the public, while the
songs on the second single were presented in June 2003. Demether works
at speed and is getting ready! The first gig was held in Zrenjanin in July
2003. The performances at Refuse / Resist Fest in Kikinda and Hard 'n' Heavy
Festival in Belgrade followed. In November 2003 the bassist was changed, and
Nebojsa
Marinkov, the new bassist, joined the band.
On their repertoire, besides
their own songs, there were also a couple of cover songs. The promo CD was
also completed containing six songs: "Sound of a Horn", "Fairy Ring", "Diving",
"Last Night", "Silence" and "Ragnaröck". In 2004, though the lead guitarist
was in the army, Demether won a couple of important rewards as the best
demo band - Demo Masters Tournament in April 2004 and Zajecarska Gitarijada,
the greatest
rock fest in Serbia, in August 2004. After that, songs for their debut "Within
The Mirror" were finished and recorded at Berar and Alpha studios in
Novi Sad, during October and November 2004.
The album contains 12 songs, including
2 bonus tracks. The band signed a deal with "One Records". Boris
Cvetkovic, the new rhythm guitarist, and Branislav Kolarski, growl vocal, joined
the
band during the production of the album. Debut album "Within The Mirror" is
re-released in Mexico by Moon Records, during 2005 and it's reviewed on many
websites and magazines including the MetalHammer, Powermetal, ... The band
started recording of the second album in the summer of 2006, and the album,
called "Beautiful",
was finally released in August 2007.
