Demilich - Nespithe
Tracklist
01. When The Sun Drank The Weight Of Water02. The Sixteenth Six-Tooth Son Of Fourteen Four-Regional Dimensions (Still Unnamed)
03. Inherited Bowel Levitation - Reduced Without Any Effort
04. The Echo (Replacement)
05. The Putrefying Road In The Nineteenth Extremity (...Somewhere Inside The Bowels Of Endlessness...)
06. (Within) The Chamber Of Whispering Eyes
07. And You'll Remain... (In Pieces In Nothingness)
08. Erecshyrinol
09. The Planet That Once Used To Absorb Flesh In Order To Achieve Divinity And Immortality (Suffocated To The Flesh That It Desired...)
10. The Cry
11. Raped Embalmed Beauty Sleep
Additional info
A mention in the booklet reads:"Absolutely no effects were used on the vocals in any way"
Nespithe means "The Spine", and Erecshyrinol means "No Lyrics Here." They can be decrypted by grouping the letters in three, starting at the end of the word, and reversing the order of those groups.
Reissued by Repulse Records (RPS 014) with "The Four Instructive Tales Of Decomposition" demo as bonus tracks. Unlike the rumor that was going around, Repulse had the band's permission. Demilich only decided to let people download this album because they've never received any payment from the Necropolis reissue. This album was also reissued by Pavement Records. It was reissued again in 2002 by Century Media Records as a digipak with "The Four Instructive Tales Of Decomposition" demo as bonus tracks.
Also released on tape by Sick Records (Poland). This release was licensed by Repulse.
Also released on 12" vinyl and CD by Spanish label Xtreem Music in 2009. It contains no insert and has typos on the back side of the cover. This version was mastered by label owner Dave Rotten at Xtreem Music Masterings in January 2009 (It has the same bonus tracks as the Repulse edition).

It seems so simple. All you have to do in order to acquire a legendary status in the underground Death metal world is this - be unique. It is, apparently, one of the most difficult things of all for many a band these days. Back to '93. Death metal was still young so it was easier to stand out, I'll give you that, but there were still a couple of bands that did something in those days that nobody was ever able to copy. Not then, not now. One of those bands is the bizarre Demilich. 1993 sees the release of their sole full-length Nesphite (or "The Spine") and to this day it remains an incredible and breath-taking album. Read more ›› |

I'm ashamed it took me this many years to find this album, outstanding, way ahead of it's time. I do recommend 20th Adversary of Emptiness which has all the tracks on this album but they sound remastered. Most, but not all, of the remasters I like better.

Posts: 1571 Written by Alakazam on 19.07.2021 at 00:39 Some songs remind me of Atheist a lot (minus the vocals obviously), so I'd say yeah. The burpy growling chased me away so many times I couldn't get into this for sooo loong.

Nespithe aka "The Spine" (or "The Penis") kills. There's just no other death metal album like it, even the demo songs and some of the newer ones from anniversary re-release are awesome.

I love early death metal but this one has never really done it for me. Those burpy vocals are just weird and ruin it for me every time I try to listen.

Terrible vocals. Thankfully they’re few and far between. Love the obviously jazz inspired riffing. Been a long time since I’ve listened to this.

Anyone who doesn't like these glorious ghastly vocals must prefer the boring dime-a-dozen Cookie Monster vocals of every other death metal band ever. One of my favorite death metal albums ever, even if it's not the best one I've ever listened to. The disgusting, outlandish Lovecraftian sort of atmosphere is one yet to be matched by anything that came after.

The vocals still aren't great, but everything else is so good that I don't care.

Posts: 3450 Written by Guib on 23.02.2025 at 04:16 Written by Roman Doez on 24.02.2025 at 04:32 Yeah, you guys are totally right. My 4-years-younger self never gave this a real chance due to the burpy vocals. But, now, I've seen the light! This is some exceptional death metal with great interweaving riffs and solos. There's groove, atmosphere, and complex prog stuff—a very neat mix. I'm even starting to like the unusual vocals. Thanks again for the recommendation. Redemption arc accomplished!
