Review by luajaz for Demilich - Nespithe (1993)

This is not only an amazingly crafted album which uses completely out-there ideas to create something unique, interesting and heavy, but is also a world of it's own. Through bizarre riffs, gurgling, monstrous vocals and a dense production, the band really succeeds in transporting me into the immersion it provides, a sort of insane and labyrinthine descent into a dark, strange and alien place. Much has been said about the technical and nonsensical sounding but nevertheless groovy riffs and the inhumane vocals and the great songwriting, but what I really want to highlight is the drumming, because it's honestly mesmerizing. Every choice of beat seems perfect to the controlled chaos that is happening over it and there's some incredible moments where the drummer just shifts the groove completely over the same riff, changing the perspective and turning the part into something new. Very interesting stuff, I'll definitively come back to this one often.
