Music Style Demonic Battle Metal

Artist History Demonic Christ was formed in 1992 by Dana Duffey after the demise of the all female death/doom band Mythic.In the beginning Dana wrote all the music and lyrics for Demonic Christ using session musicians to record the first demo "Deceiving The Heavens" in 1993. (RIP Aragon Amori - you will be missed!)The tape was spread throughout the underground with the help of Osmose Productions in Europe and Wild Rags Records in the USA. Roughly 600 copies were sold. Due to the success of the demo,Demonic Christ was offered a CD deal in 1994 by Robert Deathrage of the Meatshits for his new label, Morbid Granny which was to be pressed by and exclusively distributed by Moribund Records.By this time there was a line up for the band. They entered the studio in November of 1994 and "Punishment For Ignorance" was released in May 1995. After the recording, the drummer was replacedwith a much more suitable musician and the band began to take shape for live shows. Demonic Christ played venues in New York, Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina and the surrounding area. In 1995 a2 song Promo Tape was released with he songs "Nocturnal Empire" and "Passing of the Storms", which was a vast improvement over the aforementioned CD. In January of 1996, Demonic Christdecided to expand their sound by adding a second guitarist. More shows were played and music was being written. The next release came out in June 1996 and was in the form of another 2 song promotape including "Blut Und Ehre" and "Witches Fall", both which appeared on well known compilation CD's. "Blut Und Ehre" appeared on Dwell Record's CD "Awakening: Females in Extreme Music" releasedin Spring 1997. "Witches Fall" appeared on the 1996 Milwaukee Metalfest Comp CD. Soon after this release, the drummer was kicked out. As Demonic Christ began writing new material it becameevident that writing styles and goals became incompatible making it impossible to continue with this line up. Dana then split away from the rest of the line up to keep the original vision ofDemonic Christ. Dana then got married and had a baby, putting music aside for a while. In the beginning of 1999 Dana got an offer from Dutch label, Cryonics Records to release a second CD.This release is a collection of songs from every release by Demonic Christ. It is entitled "Demonic Battle Metal" and was released in 2000. It is very rare being that the pressing was 250 handnumbered copies. It was also pressed onto picture LP by Belgian label Painkiller Records in 2001. This is an extremely limited press of 300. Currently Dana is writing new music for an forthcoming CD release.
