Album Review: Demiser — “Through the Gate Eternal”
You know what you’re getting into when you see that brutal wood-cut cover art, a dripper scythe standing in for an “i” in the band’s name. If that didn’t seal the deal for raucous blackened thrash that South Carolina’s Demiser churn out on their debut Through the Gate Eternal then maybe this description from the band’s press kit will help: whiskey and speed fueled, demon-worshipping metal from hell. This is the sound of a band taking European and American thrash and crushing it into the dirt of black metal with the ash-stained heel of Motörhead. In other words, right up my alley.

First off, RIP to L-G Petrov. Death metal will never be the same without this legendary soul. This is not the way any of us wanted to start a new week, but here we are. Again. Unfortunately. New metal: Taking the lead is SC’s blackened thrash maniacs Demiser with a debut full length that’s sure to be the breakout hit of 2021, Eyehategod is back after a long silence and yep, you guessed it, they’re still the undisputed kings of sludge metal, The Crown offer up one of my favorite albums since Deathrace King, and Domestikwom lay out a physical release of their outstanding EP full of experimental metal and noise. Get some.

Demiser, a blackened thrash band from South Carolina, may need a slight introduction now but when their debut full length Through the Gate Eternal drops, introductions will be a thing of the past. The band revels in its classic take on heavy metal but excels in its fresh ideas on how to push their brand of blackened thrash further than ever thought possible. I recently chatted with vocalist Demiser the Demiser about the upcoming album and how it came to be, their absolute need to get out of the house and tour on this thing, how Covid switched up their plans, their band mascot and how that came to be, how their bad ass album artwork came to fruition and the insane merch that will be available to those with a quick trigger finger, how working with Damian Herring came to be, and much more. Based on this conversation, it’s easy to see how true and real the band stays to the heart of metal in general and with the contents of the upcoming album, it’s easy to see that the band will no doubt be the breakout of 2021. Trust us on this piece of info and get in on the ground floor.

Today was a good mail day. It’s the simple things on a Friday.
- South Carolina black-thrashers Demiser have announced a new full-length. Their debut, titled Through The Gate Eternal, will be available on March 12 through Boris Records. They’re streaming a new single over at Cvlt Nation called “Deathstrike”, if you’re interested.
- Looks like Soulfly have jumped back into the studio to record the follow up to Ritual, which dropped back in 2018. This would mark their 12th album, and it looks like we may have it before the end of the year via Nuclear Blast.
- Rebel Wizard released a live video of “Real happiness in killing enjoyment” performed at the Wizard’s Crypt. That marks the first in a series of video performed in the same location. That was fun, we’ll keep an eye on this going forward.
- Soen, definitely a popular project in our Nine Circles ring, released a new video today for “Illusion”. That’s the third single from their fifth studio album, Imperial, which drops next week through Silver Lining Music. Just another highly anticipated release early in the year.
“Ein Bier… bitte.”
