Demether

Demether是来自塞尔维亚共和国的交响歌特金属乐团。2002年6月，Damjan Deuric(键盘手兼主唱)和Darko Viskovic（吉他手兼主唱）写了几首具有歌特基本元素的不插电曲目（包括木吉它、哈蒙德管风琴以及深沉的男声），其中Damjan的妹妹Dunja更是在录音中展现了她那缥缈柔美的和声。 但是在几场小型表演以及几首demo录制后，乐队的进展似乎一下子停住了。。。在02年的冬天，Momir Tabacki（吉他手）和Vlada Mucalov（贝司手）加入乐队并开始创作，并开始以DEMETHER正式命名。 然而问题接踵而至，乐队一直没有找到满意的鼓手，直到2003年的1月，乐队开始录制第一首单曲前，Attila Benk (鼓手)才加入了乐队，解决了乐队人员不足的问题。。。 乐队的第一首单曲，于2003年4月份在radio 202广播中放出，并且做为乐队回报歌迷的的一个小礼物。同年6月份，乐队第二首单曲推出。 乐队的工作进度非常快，在七月份就在Zrenjanin举行了一次小型表演，随后又接受了两个音乐节演出的邀请，分别是在Kikinda举办的名为“Refuse/Resist Fest”的音乐节以及在Belgrade（南斯拉夫首都）举办的“Hard'n'Heavy Festival”重型音乐节。 2003年11月，贝司手Vlada Mucalov离开了乐队，Nebojsa Marinkov（DEMETHER的新贝司手）加入乐队。并推出一张6首歌的demo-“Sound of a Horn”，分别是：Sound of a Horn、Fairy Ring、Diving、Last Night、Silence 、Ragnarck。 在2004年，乐队获得了两个重要的奖项：首先是在4月举行的最佳单曲争夺战(Demo Masters Tournament)中得到了最佳单曲乐队的殊荣，然后又在8月份被邀请参加在Serbia举行的the greatest rock音乐节。 之后，乐队得到让他们出首张专辑的机会，正式签约Moon Records（墨西哥的一个唱片公司），在10月和11月两个月的时间里，乐队在Berar and Alpha studios录制了他们第一张正式专辑“WITHIN THE MIRROR”。这张专辑包括了12首曲目，其中有两首附送曲目。这是一张乐队标志性的唱片。 在制作这张专辑的同时，节奏吉他手Boris Cvetkovic和有着死亡唱腔的Branislav Kolarski也同时加入了乐队。 这张名为“WITHIN THE MIRROR”的唱片被Moon Records于2004年末在墨西哥正式发行。2005年这张唱片被很多网站和杂志推荐和介绍，包括MetalHammer、Powermetal等。 时隔两年，在2006年夏天，乐队开始录制第二张唱片“Beautiful”，并于2007年8月正式发行。 ... begins in June 2002 when Damjan Deuric (keyboards and vocal) and Darko Viskovic (guitars and vocal) started working on a couple of songs in characteristically gothic and acoustic manner (acoustic guitar, Hammond organ and deep male vocal). Damjan's sister Dunja helped them by singing back vocal in undefined voice. With a couple of gigs and a few recorded demo songs, it seemed that everything will stay that way... In the winter of that year, Momir Tabacki (guitar) and Vlada Mucalov (bass) joined the band and the work on the songs that would mark the following routh of DEMETHER started. The problem of the drummer was solved just before the recording of the first single scheduled for January 2003 when Attila Benk (drums) joined the band. The songs on the first single were publicly broadcasted for the first time on Radio 202 in April 2003 when the band was officially presented to the public, while the songs on the second single were presented in June 2003. DEMETHER works at speed and is getting ready! The first gig was held in Zrenjanin in July. The performances at Refuse/Resist Fest in Kikinda and Hard'n'Heavy Festival in Belgrade followed. In November 2003 the bassist was changed, and Nebojsa Marinkov, the new bassist, joined the band. On their repertoire, besides their own songs, there are also a couple of cover songs. The promo CD was also completed containing six songs: Sound of a Horn, Fairy Ring, Diving, Last Night, Silence and Ragnaröck. In 2004, though the lead guitarist was in the army, DEMETHER won a couple of important rewards as the best demo band - Demo Masters Tournament in April and Zajecarska Gitarijada, the greatest rock fest in Serbia, in August. After that, songs for their debut WITHIN THE MIRROR were finished and recorded at Berar and Alpha studios in Novi Sad, during October and November. The album contains 12 songs, including 2 bonus tracks. The band signed a deal with ONE RECORDS. Boris Cvetkovic, the new rhythm guitarist, and Branislav Kolarski, growl vocal, joined the band during the production of the album. Debut album "Within The Mirror" is re-released in Mexico by Moon Records, during 2005 and it's reviewed on many websites and magazines including the MetalHammer, Powermetal, ... The band stared recordings of the second album in the summer of 2006, and the album was finally released iu August 2007.
