DEMENTOR BIBLEGRAPHY

DEMENTOR started its existence as a three piece band in August 1988. The first line up was: Roman Lukac-guitar, Lubos Gazdik-bass and his brother Roman-drums. At the beginning they produced typical thrash/death metal influenced by early bands such as VENOM, Slayer, Possessed, Kreator, Celtic Frost , Death. They realised some rehearsal recordings till 1991. The band does not spread this stuff because of dissatisfaction with the result. DEMENTOR works hard to attain some bigger progress.

The break comes with the arrival of Rene Blahusiak who still keeps DEMENTOR  alive. At the same time the band feels the strong need to record finally some official material. In February 1992 comes out the first demo "THE EXTINCTION OF CHRISTIANITY" sung in Slovak language and consisting in 9 fast death metal songs. The direction of this demo is totally anti-christian. Just anti-christian themes are the strongest points appearing in DEMENTOR´s lyrics till today.

In 1993 the second demo entitled "MORBID INFECTION" takes turn consisting another six-some madly brutal songs. This demo was is finally written in English language. In 1993 two of these songs appeared on the best Czech and Slovak metal bands compilation "NECROMETAL I". DEMENTOR   plays many live shows and except of the local bands they play with French Crusher and Massacra what in post-communistic country as Slovakia was meant a great success. DEMENTOR   often meets personal changes and they are considered to be a typical representative of the inner fight.....but it is just Rene who always sticks the band together. Though members often change, DEMENTOR  records the debut album "THE CHURCH DIES" realised on MC format in 1994. This album was edited by young Slovak label IMMORTAL SOULS PRODUCTIONS. The same label is ready to realise DEMENTOR´s first CD "KILL THE THOUGHT ON CHRIST" in 1997. DEMENTOR offers there 8 ways to kill Jesus Christ plus one interesting cover song on the album. This material is the serious step to the world death metal scene. DEMENTOR supports spreading its name through concert activities in Slovakia, Czech republic and abroad as well. The band takes the participation on the stages in the Ukraine, Germany, Latvia and Russia.

At that time is formed the new line-up beside Rene. In July Rene-guitar+vocals, Roman Calpas-guitar, Milos "Holloshman" Hornak- drums and Miro "Kerut" Kucej-bass arrive to Pro Art Studio to record long awaited material entitled "THE ART OF BLASPHEMY". The result is very fast and brutal death metal. The recorded material is the fastest one in band´s career. Despite of good conditions offered by I.S.P. DEMENTOR decided to contact some more famous European labels for getting the contract. After some negotiations DEMENTOR   accepts the offer of Spanish label QABALAH PRODUCTIONS / sublabel of REPULSE RECORDS and signs the contract with them for editing their second CD "THE ART OF BLASPHEMY". DEMENTOR  believes that this is the best opportunity to show the people all around the world that Slovak bands are of good-quality.

Shortly after "THE ART OF BLASPHEMY" is out DEMENTOR   gets the offer of the contract for two albums from mighty French label OSMOSE PRODUCTION. DEMENTOR  accepts the offered conditions and that is the reason for urgent creating new material. The process of creating starts and runs very fluently. During this activity DEMENTOR  manages to graduate mini Russian/ Belarus tour at the end of April and beginning of May 2000. The band meets great responses there and in Minsk plays its best show they have ever played. DEMENTOR   faced 600 great death metal fans in the club Reactor.

June 8th is the date of DEMENTOR´s arrival to Pro Art Studio. There will be recorded its third CD "ENSLAVE THE WEAK". You will find there 9 new brutal death metal songs also full of blasphemous melodies on the album. This piece of raw brutality will be out on OSMOSE in October 2000. Do not hesitate to look for it and do not stop to support DEMENTOR !!!!!!
