"It's amazing to be part of a family who has stayed true to metal from day one. It's beyond a dream to be given the opportunity to work with such a living, legendary, reputable label. We feel Metal Blade is the only label that can match how raw we want to come across as true metal musicians. Hopefully what we're about to create with Metal Blade crüe will be something millions of people can enjoy and go down in history as one of the rawest, most badass records." – Nate of Demiricous.

"We are so excited to welcome Demiricous to the Metal Blade family. We have been searching for a new, young real Heavy Metal band from the USA for quite some time. Demiricous fits that bill perfectly. "Brian Slagel owner/CEO Metal Blade Records Inc.

Indianapolis, Indiana hosts Demiricous, the band that offers up an unrelenting mixture of pure American metal and thrash. These guys love old thrash but nothing like that was coming out anymore so and on Halloween night 2001 Demiricous was born. Recruiting Ben, formally of Upheaval was a turning point for the band and that’s when the guys started to get serious about the project. Fast forward to 2005, the bands self-released EP caught the attention Metal Blade Records and landed them the coveted record deal they had been working so hard to obtain.

"I am very excited to be working side by side with the Metal Blade family. They are very passionate about what they do and very aggressive in their approach to breaking new talent. The next few months will be very exciting as we gear up for Demiricous’ debut release on the label that brought the world Slayer." Mark LaFay Demiricous Manager.

Demiricous have great touring experiences under their belt; with successful runs on Exodus, Malevolent Creation, Extol, King Diamond, The Black Dahlia Murder and Obituary tours; also, the main stage at the infamous New England Hardcore and Metal Fest 2005 where they won over the audience with their brand of no frills metal.

On the bands EP and early demos it was evident that Demiricous was sonically different. As the band grew and came into their own it motivated them to keep it going- leaning towards a more straight forward metal sound. Or as the band puts it, “No fuckin hair dos, ex-girlfriends, or lame shit… just good fuckin times and raging metal.” There is almost a raw punk rock vibe to the new material on the bands debut Metal Blade Records release One. It’s more about doing what you want or die trying then about caring what the new fashion is or if your hair looks just right. “Style-wise and riff-wise we call our brand of music “Street Metal" because our songs have ALL to do with tough rippin’ ass riffs and pummeling drums and having nothing to do with whatever is cool."

In June 2005, One was recorded and mixed at Planet-Z studios with Zeuss (Hatebreed, The Red Chord, Shadows Fall). “We are just trying to write a solid thrash album and we hope to add something different to today’s metal scene. I don’t know what direction we are going in but not a whole lot of bands are going this direction. We are just playing the music that we want to hear. Plain and simple…,” states the band. Demiricous has respect for thier elders, so to speak, and with ONE truly pay homage to old school thrash; at the same time you will definitely walk away with a feeling that you have not heard anything this raw and honest in a long time. Guitarist Scott Wilson comments, “I'm an old school motherfucker and I miss the rage… and the hooks, and the solos,” and One without doubt delivers all the rage, hooks, and solos metal heads have been waiting for. One hits stores on January 24, 2006 and expect to see the band touring the US heavily before and after the release date.
