Also guitarist for After Death, Sabbath Judas Sabbath Florida Chapter and play in Thrash Attack

Demian is a lead guitarist who resides in Tampa, Florida, the Death Metal Capital of the world. For the last 20 years, he has played in numerous Death Metal bands in the Tampa Bay metal scene, including: Nocturnus AD, Astaroth, Brutality, Contorted, After Death, Argus, Perdition Temple, Sabbath Judas Sabbath, Dark Disciple and Destined to Ruin.

Demian recorded the Lost State of Dreams demo and played many shows with Astaroth during the early 1990’s. Some shows include the Tampa Bay Metal Awards in 1993 and Disincarnate’s debut show at the Ritz Theater in Tampa. In 1994, Demian parted ways with Astaroth and joined forces with Brutality shortly following the release of their second album, When the Sky Turns Black for a short period of time.

In 2002, Demian received a call from Brutality and was asked to participate in their reunion. Demian agreed and they demoed new material to send to Still Dead Records in Poland, who had signed the band. At the same time, Brutality spin off band, Contorted, had lost their second guitarist. Demian was asked to join at the end of February, 2003.

From 2003 to 2007, Demian had recorded, produced, engineered and played on Contorted’s Aftermath demo in 2003 and Edge of Darkness full length CD in 2004. Demian played many shows with Contorted, opening up for acts such as Deicide, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity, and After Death. They also were filmed in a movie, The Essence of Irwin back in November of 2003.

In 2006, Contorted went on hiatus due to their drummer leaving the band and Demian decided to help Mike Browning out in After Death. Mike and Demian had a very strong chemistry and recorded the demo, Secret Lords of the Star Chamber Below in September of 2006. This demo was After Death’s strongest and most mature material that propelled the band to a whole new level. After Death has played with bands such as Fear Factory, Deicide, Kataklysm, Nile, Dj. Starscream (Slipknot), Massacre and has headlined many shows.

In 2006, Tampa Metal Legends of the 80’s, Argus were in a position without their second Guitarist. Demian was asked to fill in and join Argus.

May of 2007, Demian gets Endorsed by Moser Custom Shop Guitars. June of 2007, he leaves Contorted and in July of 2007, After Death released their first full length CD, Retronomicon on Iron Pegasus Records.

January of 2008, Brutality decided to give another try for a reunion and recruited Demian once again. MetalMind productions re-released all three of their albums. Brutality is currently on hiatus again.

In October of 2008, Demian and his band After Death leave for Europe to headline an extremely successful tour put on by Germany’s Kraftwerk Evention. This was a reunion tour of Death Metal giants, Nocturnus. After Death (Nocturnus) played most of the songs from the familiar, The Key album along with After Death originals from the Retronomicon CD and two Morbid Angel songs that Mike Browning (the original drummer vocalist of Morbid Angel and Nocturnus) performed on the Abominations of Desolation album. The tour was named, Nocturnus, The Lost Key Returns 2008 tour. They performed in Denmark, Germany, the UK, Prague, Austria, and Italy. Fan filmed videos can be found on youtube.
