Demoniciduth is a Swiss extreme metal band formed in 1998.

Background

Demoniciduth formed in October 1998 in Switzerland.[4][5] The band has had several member changes, minus bassist and vocalist Taanak. The band formed with Taanak and his brother Annihilith.[6] Annihilith departed from the band and hired on several members, Ashtaroth-Karnaïm (vocals), Nahalal (guitars) and Kisloth (drums).[6] The band was originally named Satanicide, but changed names due to an already existing band named Satanicide from the United States.[6] The band then renamed themselves, Demonicide.[6] And for third and final time, the band switched to their current name, Demoniciduth.[6] The band is bold in their faith with Christian lyrics.[7] The band even included an advisory sticker, stating:

Satanist Advisory: Christian Lyrics[7]

There were several lineup changes during this time, which subsequently forced the band to go on hiatus in March 2002.[6] The band played at Elements of Rock in 2004.[8] The band reunited around 2010, and released an EP in 2011 with the style similar to bands such as Mortification.[6][7] In 2016, the band announced they had signed to Vision of God Records and will be releasing their second full-length, entitled, Enemy of Satan.[9]

Name

The band addressed the popular question of what the name means. Here is what was said:

Many people always ask us about the meaning of the name Demoniciduth. The band name was inspired by Mark 16:17-18 and basically means "Demon killer" perfect for a #christian #metal #band![10]
