Demilich

Finland's Demilich formed in the early '90s and consisted of vocalist/guitarist Antti Boman, guitarist Aki Hytonen, bassist Ville Koistenen, and drummer Mikko Virnes. On their lone album, 1993's Nespithe, the quartet came up with a highly unconventional sound marrying intricate death metal riffs with impossibly low-end, gurgled vocals -- then topped it off with inscrutably overblown song titles such as "Erecshyrinol," "And You'll Remain...(In Pieces of Nothingness)" and "The Sixteenth Six-Tooth Son of Fourteen Four Regional Dimensions"!!! Hardly ideal for the pop charts, these were at the very least unquestionably original.
