DemonicResurrection-2018

Indian DEMONIC RESURRECTION has announced a line-up change which sees the departure of their lead guitarist Nishith Hegde, who has been promptly replaced by Vignesh V.

Nishith had this to say about it, “No matter how much we want things to be the same, life is all about change. Sometimes it’s for the better and sometimes it’s not. I have had a glorious 5 years with Demonic Resurrection and it will always remain very close to me, the journey I was a part of. But priorities change and you have to do what you have to do. I wish my friends in DR all the very best for all their future endeavours and hope they reach greater heights. As for me, my journey with them ends here!”

Sahil comments, “It’s been a pleasure having Nishith be a part of this band and we’re definitely going to miss having him around. His contribution has been invaluable and you can hear his musical genius on the recordings of Dashavatar. They are part of the history of DR now.

Line-up changes seem to be the only constant in DR but it’s something I’ve come to terms with, it’s always hard but everyone has to follow their own path and DR is a stepping stone in that journey. We will carry on as always and for now Vignesh V. (Albatross) is going to be filling in as lead guitarist on all upcoming India tours. We are looking and auditioning lead guitar players but we still haven’t found a full time replacement for Ashwin (who quit last year) so technically we’re still looking for a full time bass player as well. Vignesh has filled in for Nishith last year for a couple of shows so we’re quite comfortable with this line-up for now. Onward and upward.”

DEMONIC RESURRECTION released another official video of a song from their last album ‘Dashavatar’, below.

The band will be touring UK shortly where they have confirmed festival appearances.

DEMONIC RESURRECTION: Reveal Official Video For ‘Narasimha – The Man-Lion’

Arguably India’s biggest band, DEMONIC RESURRECTION have released an ambitious official video directed by Guilherme Henriques Silva (Portugal) who has worked with bands like WORMED, HIDEOUS DIVINITY, BELPHEGOR, etc. In the band’s own words, “The video shows the epic battle between Hiranyakashipu, the asura and Vishnu. Working with director Guilherme is always a pleasure and he did a great job bringing the vision to life.” Check it out below:

‘Narasimha – The Man-Lion’  is taken from the band’s fifth full length album, “Dashavatar” and it’s a unique take on the avatars of Lord Vishnu according to Indian mythology. Each song is dedicated to a different avatar and the artwork and lyrics are indicative of the same. “Dashavatar” follows the band’s trademark epic black/death metal style that the band have cemented over the decades. The fans won’t be disappointed and at the same time this is an ambitious leap forward. Tasteful solos accentuate the soaring riffs, all impeccably structured to bring to life stories from ancient Hindu mythology. Suitably atmospheric and tempered to perfection, this album holds its own in an era of ever-increasing individuality.

“Dashavatar” Track list: 
1. Matsya – The Fish
2. Kurma – The Tortoise
3. Varaha – The Boar
4. Vamana – The Dwarf
5. Narasimha – The Man-Lion
6. Parashurama – The Axe Wielder
7. Rama – The Prince
8. Krishna – The Cowherd
9. Buddha – The Teacher
10. Kalki – The Destroyer Of Filth

DEMONIC RESURRECTION Reveal New Album Details

demonicresurrection-stage

Indian Metal veterans DEMONIC RESURRECTION have announced the release of their 5th full length album. The album is titled ‘Dashavatar’ which translates to ‘the ten avatars of Vishnu’, who is the ‘the god of preservation’ in Hindu mythology. The album is scheduled to release on March 15th 2017 and it will be independently released by the band, who were signed to Candlelight Records for their last two albums.

The band’s vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Demonstealer comments, “Our previous album ‘The Demon King’ was born from the idea of writing about ‘Ravan’ who is a demon king from Hindu mythology and while we wrote our own story from scratch it did kind of set the tone of where we want to go from there. My fiance was the one who told me the rather gruesome tale of Narasimha the ‘man-lion’ avatar of Vishnu which really made me look at mythology rather differently and it made for a great idea to write a song about each of the avatars of Vishnu, since they were very interesting stories. It was pretty obvious then that the album had to be called Dashavatar.”

Artwork has been made by Indian artist Reuben Bhattacharya (Visual Amnesia) who explains it in more detail –

“Ten ancient gods in one and the band’s most death metal sounding album, it had epic written all over it. So when Sahil got in touch with me with the brilliant idea of Dashavatar, i just had to give life to this vision. Since the idea itself of India’s premier metal band doing something from Indian mythology itself is a polarizing one, I had a dual responsibility to create a Vishnu that hadn’t been seen before and one that was demonical and true to the band’s legacy as well. The amount of reference material to go through with this was ridiculous but i find studying and absorbing ancient lore and myths fascinating. Painting a completely new version of Vishnu was a worthy challenge i set myself and chased relentlessly. Of course it was not easy re-imagining a godly image so deep rooted in our culture; with so many layers both in meaning and sensitivity and how it relates to the stories of the 10 avatars on their respective tracks on the album. This the alien hyper god of the multiverse preserving the might of all that is good in his bolt of lightning, as the avatars fight of the sneering serpents of evil, all avatars united as one combined mega force in a central battle at the lair of all creation. Remember this image is not as a religious god, this is a metal god  \m/”
