“Hell Is Full Of Fire” is the new single from South Carolina hell bringers, DEMISER. The apocalyptic new hymn comes by way of the band’s Slave To The Scythe full-length, set for release on August 23 via Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records.

The DEMISER collective features Demiser The Demiser (occult liturgic blasphemy), Gravepisser (six-stringed Satanic fukklord), Phallomancer (abysmal rhythm of death), Defiler (dismal baritone curator), and Infestor (purveyor of percussive bile). The nine-track Slave To The Scythe is a devastatingly intense slab of work; an aural harbinger of hellish intent that sees the band blend ’80s thrash, first-wave black metal, death metal, and a healthy dose of NWOBHM.

Latest album teaser, “Hell Is Full Of Fire,” is an epic tale of a demonic war, featuring the lines, “Call in the hordes, prepare for victory; The vermin Christ and his servants; Will soon plead as their blood spills; By the will of my steel.” The band further elaborates, “This was one that started with a riff Phallomancer brought to practice and we all jumped in and got it fleshed out. Lyrically, we were making up dumb song titles we thought Demiser The Demiser would write and somehow he dropped this gem out of his ass. We ran with it. We still regret it.”

Slave To The Scythe was recorded in the summer of 2023 with Chase McGuckin at Seaboard Recording Studio in West Columbia, South Carolina. “We record one at a time with scratch tracks and clicks and all. We recorded with minimal AC so it was hot as fucking shit.” The band sees Slave To The Scythe as the perfect followup to Through The Gate Eternal. “We feel like it’s a continuation of our first album and upholds the same ripping sound,” they say.

Slave To The Scythe will be available CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in “Carbureted Fire.” Find pre-orders at: blacklightmediarecords.com/demiser

For the uninitiated, DEMISER formed in 2017 with the mission of “getting big enough to get a free bar tab,” they say, with no trace of irony. The five men want to drink and play brutally heavy music. They describe the DEMISER sound as, “Fast-ripping black thrash with some dirty rock ‘n’ roll influence at times. As we’ve continued writing, we’ve come more into what DEMISER’s sound is rather than setting out to sound like a specific genre.”

The band’s influences include the likes of Venom, Bathory, Slayer, Motörhead, and Destroyer 666, plus movies like Terminator 2, Commando, and Predator (“pretty much anything Schwarzenegger really”). The overarching themes on Slave To The Scythe are essentially “hell, fire, and hellfire.” There are no ballads, no love songs – this is devilish music for devilish people that was largely written on the road.

Like a lumbering, ferocious beast awoken from a centuries-long slumber, the metal behemoth known as DEMISER emerged from the primordial ooze of the South Carolina metal scene in 2017. After several years working toward a sonic apocalypse and intent on causing untold havoc, DEMISER is releasing its sophomore album and Black Light Media/Metal Blade debut, Slave To The Scythe, on August 23rd.

The nine-song LP is a devastatingly intense slab of work; an aural harbinger of hellish intent that sees the band blend ’80s thrash, first-wave black metal, death metal, and a healthy dose of NWOBHM. Slave To The Scythe is the work of a band of men determined to destroy everything in their path. Musically, of course.

The DEMISER collective features Demiser the Demiser (occult liturgic blasphemy), Gravepisser (six-stringed Satanic fukklord), Phallomancer (abysmal rhythm of death), Defiler (dismal baritone curator), and Infestor (purveyor of percussive bile) and they are not here to fuck around. Press reports note that DEMISER is the perfect choice for when you’re, “in the mood for some dirty blackened thrash long on fun and short on pretense.”

Slave To The Scythe was recorded in the summer of 2023 with Chase McGuckin at Seaboard Recording Studio in West Columbia, South Carolina. “We record one at a time with scratch tracks and clicks and all. We recorded with minimal AC so it was hot as fucking shit.” The band sees Slave To The Scythe as the perfect followup to Through The Gate Eternal. “We feel like it’s a continuation of our first album and upholds the same ripping sound,” they say.

DEMISER will be releasing three singles from the new opus, beginning with the face-ripping “Infernal Bust” – a sort of Rosemary’s Baby for a gore-loving audience that includes the lyrics, “Rot your womb, spread the seed that Satan seeps; Flesh grows pale, fruit of man wilts.“

The band comments, “We wrote the music for this one in a single practice, it came together pretty quickly. Then Demiser the Demiser’s dumb ass decided to call it ‘Whores And Fire’ and we told him to shut the fuck up and call it something cooler. We still failed. The lyrics are about the downfall of man through a really evil cumshot.”

“I really wanted a swingy song to explore some triplet fills and had the most fun writing this one for sure,” elaborates Infestor. “When we play it live I improvise half the fills just to keep it fun and fresh.”

Decibel has raved about DEMISER, “All the aggression and speed of black-thrash with heavy metal melodies, DEMISER takes the best of both worlds.” Memorable, evil and impossible to deny, Slave To The Scythe represents the sound of a band on the rise, momentum firmly in their favor, waving the metal flag with pride and fury. Consider yourself warned.

Slave To The Scythe will be available CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in “Carbureted Fire.” Find pre-orders at: blacklightmediarecords.com/demiser

Blacklight Media Records / Metal Blade Records is proud to welcome DEMISER to its worldwide roster!

Formed in 2018 out of the primordial ooze of the South Carolina metal scene, Demiser are veritable heavy metal heroes. With influences drawing from first wave black metal and 80s thrash alongside a healthy dose of NWOBHM, Demiser have quickly established a sound that is wholly their own. It’s gun-toting, throat-cutting blackened thrash metal to storm the gates of heaven…and it’s about to get bigger than ever.

The band comments: “Demiser cannot wait to vomit untold blasphemies unto the world with two of metal’s best in Blacklight Media and Metal Blade Records! With their support, all will soon surrender to sin…”

Since their humble beginnings, Demiser have been hard at work building up their name in the scene since their touring debut across the east coast and midwest in 2019. The release of their internationally lauded debut, Through The Gate Eternal, on Boris Records in 2021 was just another step in building a devout fanbase. The band has built up a reputation for larger than life, over the top live shows that leave frenzied fans begging for more. Slowly seeds are being sown – the next great heavy metal band is bubbling up out of the twisted South Carolina backwoods!

Now, having teamed up with Blacklight Media / Metal Blade, Demiser plan to continue writing and releasing aural hellfire, crafted specifically to pour whiskey in your ear and malice in your heart. These rip-roaring blood guzzlers intend to carry forth the torch lit from the triumph of Through the Gate Eternal and continue their blackened deathstrike on the world with the backing of two metal powerhouses! Fans can expect their Blacklight Media / Metal Blade debut in 2022 – stay tuned!
