DEMISOR need no introduction, especially when you’re talking about the South East Asia’s extreme underground music scene. They have been existed since the late 80’s. This is totally killer Grindcore from Singapore the Lion City. The band that is fuckin’ heavy, violent and got plenty of catchiness. They’re here to grind till they get old. They grind for life!!! – Interview by Harshziqr [11.08.2018]
It’s amazing that Demisor still active after more than 30 years. How do you see the band existence within this 3 decades?
Hello! Well throughout our existence, we see it as a form of pure brotherhood of musicians whom are all dedicated in progressing more grind ideas unto the next level.
Do you think that the band evolve a lot musically, or still playing the same old grind shit since the beginning?
Like I said earlier, we all do progress and evolving as the times goes by. To play same old grind is absolutely great but that doesn’t make us feel satisfied. We need more ideas in all aspects of grind in the grindcore arena. Life is all about learning and Demisor is still learning new things and will continue to learn as far as we can go.
Share with us your thoughts on some of the band’s most essential releases?
The first reh/demo is the catalyst to what we are now. No doubt it sounds noisy or sexual to most of the listeners. Somehow it rather drive us unto the next level for the second reh/demo which is much audible and songwriting are far better. Next is also our first 7" ep split with CSSO. It also leapfrog our whole crust/grind ideas to the masses. Also worth mentioning our split tape with Necrotic Chaos. It delivers well and made us being accepted by the metal Hordes in the Malaysian scene.
How long do you expect Demisor to stay active? Any great plans for the near future?
Well we all don’t have an expiry date on when Demisor will cease it’s grind works. As far as we’re concerned, so long as our ideas are flowing. Demisor noisecamp will still be around. We’re currently in the works for our new album. Massive grind and guitar works is being injected to it... So be prepared for the next grindcore audio dismemberment!
How much do your lyrics affect the listener and life?
Well, I do have people telling me on how they like our songs but lyrically? No feedbacks on that actually... Hahaha... But it does makes me happy knowing someone whom had found an outrage channel when listening to our songs. Knowing him to be an introvert and deeply depressed. It helps him to let it all out by listening to our grindworks. He thanked me for that and such small appreciation boosts us to achieve even more and work harder to produce more materials.
Have you ever played outside of Singapore, I mean touring worldwide, etc?
Yes we did. Mostly South East Asia region and the furthest we did went to is Czech Republic for the Obscene Extreme in 2012.
What’s your viewpoint on current grindcore scene, especially in your country?
Well I’m not a grindcore analyst expert kinda guy as to know what is happening in the current scene but all I can say is that there are indeed alot of bands now compared to the past. Their grindworks are also superb and their sound is amazingly awesome. Hmmm... In Singapore, when it comes to grindcore, the only name that will be in everybody’s mind is definitely Wormrot. No doubt they are now Singapore’s very own grindcore champions but honestly there are few good bands here that are still alive and kickin’. Fallen World, Volition, Desecration, Con-formed just to name a few. Check em out aite!
Thanks for your time. Last words?
A very warm thank you and the readers for the interest in Demisor. Spread the music not the hate. Cheers from Demisor’s Noisecamp!
