DEMILICH - Nespithe CD

The Bonus Tracks are from "The four Instructive Tales... of Decompoisition - Demo '91"

This album sounds unlike every other death metal record ever made. It sometimes feels like it arrived from another planet. It is easy to forget the context from which this oddity arose. As with most death metal debut albums from the early nineties, "Nespithe" is rooted in the band's demo history. Five of the songs here came from the "...Somewhere Inside the Bowels of Endlessness..." demo, three additional songs came from "The Echo", and one was reworked from "The Four Instructive Tales...". There are only two songs exclusive to this album, opener "When the Sun Drank the Weight of Water" and "The Planet That Once Used to Absorb Flesh...". These two are the most impressive, evolved songs of the band’s career. They hint that Demilich had yet to reach the summit of their progressive powers.
