MetalBite Review by Tom on 12/20/2007

Demolisher impressed me with the quality of their musicianship from the very first time I’ve listened to their “Enter the Suffering” EP. They are a very young band (formed only 2 years ago), but their take on Death Metal will most definitely carry those boys very far.

“Enter the Suffering” contains only 3 songs, but there is so much going on, that every time I’ve listened to it, I was finding something new. I know it sounds like something you’ve read hundreds of times before, but, believe me, this is the truth. I’ve listened to that CD maybe 30 times so far, and I just keep coming back. Why? Well, let me put it this way: Plenty of crushing mid-paced moments that are so very inviting for some serious headbanging. Brutal guitar work with some groove and hooks going from slow to galloping riffs, plowing double bass kicks and some gut-wrenching growls and screams that gave me goose bumps. Very tight from beginning to the end, with solid song structures and ass kicking energy.

Most of you will probably ask: how can you put so much into only 3 songs? Well, it seems like Demolisher had no problem with such. I’m simply loving it and you probably will too. Check those guys out. Meanwhile, I’m gonna press Play again.

Metallurgy from Helsinki since 2005; Demolisher bio:

Enough compromises, enough bad talking. The Demolisher squad is armed and on the move. The basic instinct of this group is simple: to spread some rotten metal every member can be proud of.

As a prelude, the whole thing started in 2005, as Demolisher entered Hellhole studios to record "Deformation", a three-song compilation of thrashy death metal. The debut established the essence of Demolisher's sound – brutal and raw. But it was all about to evolve.

Demolisher encountered some turbulent changes during the year 2006. The band entered studios again to revise a new assault. This time four songs were recorded, but only one of them was released – with heavy re-arrangements. The single track "Red Flies" was a welcome recruit in Demolisher's production – the song got accepting reviews from the listeners.

The summer of 2006 predicted changes. The session members were finally replaced with dedicated musicians, and Demolisher was re-born with a completely fresh line-up. As this was the first steady and complete crew during the short history of Demolisher, the band started to rehearse like hell itself. The group found a common tone immediately, and composed a lot of new material. To nail the new base down, a live rehearsal recording was done at the end of 2006 by Jani Peltola. The urge was real, and soon Demolisher played their first gig at On The Rocks –club. The year 2007 is going to be like none other.

Today Demolisher is zealous and thirsty. Main course for the music is now set – the song arsenal represents different styles of death metal, like mixing the raw and blasting Florida style with hardcore smashing.

The third time is devastating. "Enter The Suffering" is a fresh breeding of the band - the new EP was recorded at D-studio in February 2007. The essence of this bloody red record is our impression of modern death metal sound. When mashing together the parts for "Enter The Suffering", the band was not compiling three different songs into one record. The base idea was to create an entity. In the future, Demolisher has a vigorous urge to build a full-lenght album, as single tracks are nothing compared to a complete set of vile death metal. So the new EP is only a slight prelude for the uncontrollable demolition we have to offer. Until then, enjoy the suffering!
