Demilich: Nespithe
Listening to “Nespithe” evokes in one’s mind the experience of being kidnapped by a gaggle of grotesquely deformed hillfolk, shoved into the windowless back of a van, force fed hallucinogens, and released into a pitch black labyrinth to grope aimlessly along dampened walls while being tormented by otherworldly visions conjured in an addled brain. We all know what that feels like, am I right folks?
“Nespithe” is a maze of twisting, winding, curling riffs punctuated by crisp skin bashing and held aloft by a fat and buoyant pulse of basswork. The frequent time changes are at first disorienting, but eventually they draw the worthy disciple into a trance, thus buttering the subject up to be indoctrinated by the bizarre gurgling and croaking of one of the most unique vocalists to ever spew forth bile.
Demilich, that wretched fowl, emerged only once from the bowels of obscurity to lay this putrid egg. After the hatching of monstrous “Nespithe,” the ghastly mother-bird absconded back into some Finnish void. Most took no notice of this brief event in the annals of metal, but those worthy few who have slipped into the thrall of “Nespithe” can at least take comfort in the ascent of Gigan, Portal, Ulcerate, and other distant cousins of Demilich who continue to plumb the depths of avant-death.
