Demist is a symphonic/power metal band from Belgrade,
Serbia. The band was first founded in 2008 by the two
permanent members, the keyboard player Marko Lukic and
vocal Dragica Maletic. Later on, the band has gone through
several changes of members, that lead to the present,
final line-up, including Ilija Markovic (bass), Aleksandar
Travica (guitar), and Dimitrije Vasic (drums). The band
is currently working on new material and promotion of
the two videos, for the songs Faith Remains, which came
out December 2013 to great reception and Someone's Mirror,
which came out this June. 6 more songs have been finished
and are to be recorded soon, after which 2 more songs
will be finished to complete the album.
The band members have been passionate about metal music
for years; since 2008, the band has had many shows and
gained loyal local followers - the trend to be continued
with the new line-up as well, having many shows booked
and being invited to many international demo festivals
during 2015.
The musical influences are many, some of which are:
Nightwish, Evanescence, Kamelot, Tristania, In Flames,
Disturbed, Moonspell, Sins of Thy Beloved. The mixture
of sounds results in a new twist on the well-known female-vocals-with-grunts
formula; it has a new strength to it, an added driving
force that separates the band's sound from others. Demist
songs range from the sweet, flowing melodies (as in
Faith Remains and in the ballad Let it Rain) to the
harder, heavier and darker songs (such as: Someone's
Mirror, Welcome to the Underworld and Nemesis). However,
the band remains consistent in its recognizable style,
constantly surprising the listener and drawing him deeper
into the sound of Demist.
All members of Demist are dedicated to this passion
and are ready to invest their time and means to succeed,
since their main goal is to reach international listeners
and give something fresh to the metal scene.
