2) Demise is a Black/Death metal band from the city of Elblag - Poland.

DEMISE was formed in early 1995, by L.Rambo (drums) and Sin (guitar). After a few months, Ozz (guitar & vocals) and Kons (bass) joined. With this line up, they started working on their music and style. In August of 96', DEMISE recorded the first demo, "Outcome of....." Professional sound, aggresive melodic songs and a lot of emotions, in black/deathmetal style. "Outcome of...", had great reviews in the underground scene, in Europe. DEMISE published this material by Immortal Records (also: Lividity, Corpse Vomit, Damnable...) at the beginning of 97'. Later, the band played several shows in Poland, from small gigs to large festivals.
Their first album-"Like a Thorn", was released in September of 97', by Metal Mind Productions (biggest Polish label), and shows DEMISE worth and talent. Many magazines called it the album of the year.
DEMISE has performed with the following bands: Vader, Dark Funeral, Gardenian, Hate, Christ Agony, Decapitated, Lux Occulta, Yattering and more.
At this time, L. Rambo, joined the band Moon, and did, "Satan's Wept" album on Pagan/Impact Records. After this time, it was a first line-up change for Demise. B-Low became the new bass player in DEMISE. In December of 99', the band recorded a second album-"God Insect" issued by Koch International/Demonic. After playing numerous shows, and doing interviews, the band started having problems with the manager and label. They were not able to do good promotion and distribution of "God Insect" . At this time L Rambo, started to play with another band, " Damnation". Thus, playing two Europeon tours with Krsiun, Hell-born and Spawn. On Sept. 11, 2001- DEMISE, recorded a two-song promo CD
and said "Good-bye" to the manager.
Now, Demise is looking for a new honest label all around the world.
In June 02', L. Rambo and Ozz came to the United States to find a "new future" for DEMISE. Before their departure they took part in a project called, "ENTER CHAOS" (With a well known Polish musician and female death metalvocalist-Martex). They did the album,"Dreamworker", on Metal Mind Productions and they played with DEMISE, at the biggest concert with Polish metal legends-"Acid Drinkers" (8000 spectators). In the United Stated, Ozz and L.Rambo met Sandi (Metal Mom) Newton.

6) Demise was a death metal band from New Zealand, formed in 1991. They released one demo and one EP. The date of their split-up is unknown.

7) Demise was a sludge metal/death metal band from New Orleans, Louisiana.

Begun in 1998 in the hellish confines of New Orleans, Louisiana, Demise immediately sought to write original music. After a six-month search for members who combined musicianship with a dismal artistic vision, the band concentrated on creating a unique musical landscape to enunciate their dark vision. Each member's singular influences began to blend the extreme styles of death metal with overtly melodic vocals and precision harmonies to create a unique style that paid homage to its New Orleans' roots while adding scathing elements of abuse and torment. The style begins with a guitar tandem whose schizophrenic riffs set the basis, while the manic rhythm section adds the blast-beat and low end elements. Vocal styles range from the ultra-low to a beautifully melodic approach, underlying the sinister lyrics focused around the underbelly of human existence. Focused on the negativity of life, drug abuse, murder, mental torment. Demise encapsulates a fictional essence with a stark reality. The band sets themselves apart by painting the actuality of the world rather than a picture simply for purposes of being unequivocally evil. These facets were never more apparent than on the band's first demo, The Thirteenth Table. Recorded at Festival Studios in Kenner, Louisiana (Acid Bath, Goatwhore, Soilent Green) by Scott Campbell, this first recording combined older material with a newer musical direction evident of the band's future. After this release, Demise returned to its hurried schedule of writing music and playing shows, pushing the demo while continuing to debut new material. In late 2001, Demise signed to Incision Records, who repressed the demo with new artwork. The demo serves as a teaser until the band enters Balance Studios with Dave Fortman (Soilent Green, Superjoint Ritual, EYEHATEGOD, Crowbar) in May to lay down their first full-length album, Obscure Mold of a World, for Incision Records. Sure to lambast listeners with its intense technicality and broad musical
range, the new album derives elements of everything from death and black metal to down-home sludge, showcasing Demise's dedication to musical progression and destroying all limits. Odd time signatures enhanced by down-tuned aggression and a penchant for melody evoke startling images that only elaborate the multi-faciteded vocal approach, which can be as equally melodic and mournful as it is brutal and chaotic. As a listener, should you thrilled to hear such ability or frightened that the best is yet to come???

Torture Garden
Demise Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In thy garden of torture and pain..
I wait in silence
For thee my God
Only for you
I reveal my sorrow
For us, there is no tomorrow..

The earth in ashes

And through my tears
I see nothig...

For it is
To you I descend my arms
Open from you
I can depend on eternal suffering
World without end
Everlasting pain
To me you have gave

The earth in ashes
And through my tears
I see nothing...

In thy garden of torture and pain
I wait, no longer in silence
For you, I am what you are
Unholy one too
For you Are I

The dark moon rises night after night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Demise's song Torture Garden speak of a place where pain and suffering are a constant; a garden where the singer waits in silence for their God. The language used in the song is very poetic and there is a sense of desperation and hopelessness throughout the lyrics. The imagery of a barren and desolate earth in ashes, and the tears shed by the singer serve to emphasize the hopelessness and despair that they are feeling.

The line "For us, there is no tomorrow" hints at the fate of humanity, or perhaps the singer themselves, being doomed to a lifetime of suffering and pain. The repeated lines "The earth in ashes, and through my tears, I see nothing" reinforces this idea further. The singer seems to continue to look to their God for solace, even though it is clear that their God is the cause of their suffering.

The final stanza shifts the perspective slightly, with the singer asserting that they are no longer waiting in silence for their God. Instead, they declare that they are one with their God - the unholy one - and that their suffering is eternal. The line "For you are I" is particularly interesting, as it suggests a merging of identities between the singer and their God. This could be interpreted as the singer losing their individual identity and becoming consumed by their pain and suffering.
