Formed in 2004, Shadow Of Demise set out to play an extreme style of metal sticking to the mainstays of traditional thrash and death metal but adding a modern feel to the music. Founding members; vocalist Stephen Graves and guitarist Dan Belmont began writing crushing riffs and equally twisted lyrics and soon found like-minded musicians to record a three song demo late in 2004 entitled Fracture. In 2005 the band acquired drummer Luigi Argento and lead guitarist Ronnie Merrin. After making a crushing live debut at Brooklyn Music Terminal in late August of that year, the band began writing material for their first full length album. In March 2006, as they laid down the tracks for their debut album, Shadow Of Demise immediately began playing all over New York City, solidifying their reputation as an explosive, sought-after metal act in the local scene. Over the summer, one more addition was made to the lineup in bassist John Schnaas. The band's new album entitled Premature Burial is available now.
