Americans will get the chance to witness one of the greatest and most innovative death metal bands performing live this year when Finland’s Demilich hits the U.S.A. for a brief run through the eastern states. Refusing to record a followup to their 1993 masterpiece Nespithe, Demilich are one of the few bands to stay true to their purpose in an age where most of their peers are chasing the dollar in the age of the retro-death rehash. Don’t let the incoming flock of hipster newbies ruin this one for you- live Demilich is likely the best treat you’ll find in a concert venue this year.
