Background
Scott, Nate, and Chris love old thrash but nothing like that was coming out anymore so they decided to start a band of their own on Halloween night 2001. About six month’s later guitarist Ben, formally of Upheaval, was asked to join the band and that’s when the guys started to get serious about the project.
Fast forward to 2005, the bands self-released EP caught the attention Metal Blade Records and landed them the record deal they'd been seeking. In early 2006, the band released their Metal Blade debut "One."
Since the bands inception they have already played with the likes of Exodus, Malevolent Creation, Extol, King Diamond, The Black Dahlia Murder, Obituary, and played the main stage at the New England Hardcore and Metal Fest.

Slayer To Sue Demiricous?
Metal Maniacs magazine recently conducted an interview with SLAYER members Kerry King and Tom Araya. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:
Metal Maniacs: Kerry, you're notorious for keeping up with many of thew new extreme bands…
Kerry: "I like to know more about who we should be touring with and stuff like that. I'm very selective. There's a lot of good bands, but there's a lot of bands that sound just like everybody else. I like the ones that are unique. Without sticking my foot in my mouth, my favorite new band is DEMIRICOUS and they sound just like us. I love those guys. They're making up their own tunes, and yeah, they sound like us, but they're good songs. I saw them play and they're outta control! It was great."
Tom: "Kerry was praising them so I listened to tem and I was thinking, 'Can we sue somebody for plagiarism?' [Laughs] I even asked my manager that. I was like, 'Can we sue someone for sounding way too much like us?' They're way too… way too SLAYER. [Laughs] I even played it for someone and they said, 'If I didn't know any better and you were singing, this would be SLAYER.' I'm not too hip on that."
Metal Maniacs: But can that kind of worship be flattering in a way?
Tom: "To me, it's not. Flattery is when someone creates something but it's their own. When you fucking sound just like the band you love, that's not flattery… that's copyright infringement. [Laughs]
"Kerry really pays attention and is aware of the up-and-coming bands and he's on top of the [heavy] music scene. I like all music. Kerry's really into the metal. I'm not always on top of all that. I only hear what people send to me, you know? Sometimes I get discs and they just sit there. I don't even put 'em on unless someone says to me, 'You have to listen to this.' If it's really groundbreaking and new, and it's something you hear from various people, eventually you take the time and go, 'I need to listen to this; there's too much talk about it.' Unless it's something recommended by a number of people, I won't listen to it. I like music in general. I listen to all kinds of music, and that has a big influence, I think, in how I write lyrically and what I like musically."
Metal Maniacs: Do you think you'll ever play another record in its entirety live like the band did with "Reign in Blood"? "South of Heaven" perhaps?
Tom: "It's becoming a trendy thing now. I don't know. We have some really cool albums, but I don't think we'll ever do that again."
Kerry: "Probably not. And I just don't like enough songs off 'South of Heaven'."
Metal Maniacs: Really? That's interesting.
Kerry: "I hate 'Cleanse the Soul'. That's one of the black marks in our history, in my book. I just fucking think it's horrible. [Laughs] I hate the opening riff. It's what we call a 'happy riff.' It's just like 'la-lala-la-la-la.' I can't see myself playing it, but after that, where it gets heavier, I like that section. If we ever did a medley, I'd put part of that in there. Like 'Reign in Blood' is short — 10 songs in 30 minutes — it desn't take up much of your set. I would consider 'Seasons in the Abyss', but that's a little longer, so you're alienating anybody that may hate that record. 'Seasons' is 40 minutes long. You'd have to cut out two other songs [from the set] and people might be like, 'Damn, I wish they would've played that. But now that we did 'Reign', so many people are doing the same thing we did. I heard DIO did one ['Holy Diver']."
Metal Maniacs: ANTHRAX is doing "Among the Living" on a few dates this summer.
Kerry: "Yeah, I heard about ANTHRAX. METALLICA did 'Master of Puppets'. I'm like, 'C'mon, man, can't you guys get some original fucking ideas?' [Laughs]"

Demiricous Dominates A Metalcore Lineup At Jaxx
On Wednesday, April 26, I got out to see Still Remains' "Of Love And Lunacy" tour, featuring supporting acts Nodes of Ranvier, If Hope Dies, Demiricous and Another Born Without at Jaxx in Springfield, Virginia. The real reason I was going to this show was to see Demiricous, but I also like what I've heard of If Hope Dies and wanted to check out Still Remains and Nodes of Ranvier, who I've heard a lot about but never heard their music or seen them live. I had noted to my friend who I planned to meet at the venue that the show wouldn't be crowded due the show being on a Wednesday night and having no big name headliners. I had no idea how much of an understatement that would turn out to be. More...

Indianapolis-based death/thrash metal band DEMIRICOUS have posted the following message on their official web site:
"We just put up two new mp3's from our new CD. The tracks that we put up are 'Vagrant Idol' and 'To Serve Is To Destroy'. Please check them out and tell your friends about them! If you tell five people and they each tell five people who each tell five people, then a lot of people will hear about the new music!!!
"In mid-December we will be flying into NYC to do a video with producer Dale Restighini. We will be doing the video for the track 'Vagrant Idol'. We are super stoked to work with Dale. We have heard nothing but kick-ass things and he's been awesome to work with so far! There may be a casting call for the video so be on the look out! You may have a chance to be in the video with us!!!!
"For any of you that didnt know, our record is coming out January 24th on Metal Blade Records. We are hoping to be on tour starting early January but if push comes to shove, we won't be touring until early February. Speaking of touring, we have a show tomorrow (Saturday, December 3rd, 2005) at the Melody Inn in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Inn has limited capacity so make sure you get out there early to get a ticket. We also just confirmed on six weeks with STILL REMAINS in March/April. The tour will start on the East Coast and run through Canada and all over the U.S. ending close to early May. The tour should be pretty kick-ass so make sure you come out and party with us!!"
