INDIAN SYMPHONIC DEATH METALLERS RETURN WITH A BRAND NEW ALBUM ON CANDLELIGHT RECORDS

Right from its inception in March 2000 Demonic Resurrection has been raising eyebrows.

Starting out as bunch of 17-year-olds looking to give India a taste of extreme metal, then a nearly untouched genre, the band, spearheaded by Sahil The Demonstealer Makhija, released their first album Demonstealer within nine months of formation.

It was an amateurish first attempt but a bold step in a scene dominated by tribute and cover bands that got Demonic Resurrection noticed. The band hit the studio in August 2009 to record their third full-length album and what was to be the final chapter in the Darkness trilogy: The Return to Darkness. Roping in renowned artist Michael Xaay Lorac (Nile, Karl Sanders, Behemoth, Vader) to design the artwork for the album, the band also released their first video for The Unrelenting Surge of Vengeance that received (and continues to receive) airplay from mainstream music channels like VH1.

The band capped 10 successful years of metal with their first international show at the prestigious Inferno Festival in Norway in April 2010 and will make an appearance at the Brutal Assault festival in the Czech Republic in August 2010. Its been a long and sometimes arduous 10-year journey for the band a story of struggle, brickbats, bottles, adulation and acceptance but most of all of incredible amounts hard work, determination and perseverance and even naysayers will be hard-put to argue that DR are one of the most important bands to have come out of the Indian music scene.

But yet, for Demonic Resurrection, the journey is only beginning The band had this to say about the new deal We've just completed a decade in music and we can't think of a better way to celebrate than to announce that we've signed with Candlelight Records for the worldwide release of our third album The Return to Darkness. In signing with Candlelight, we're joining a roster of bands that have been an integral part of our musical growth and we couldn't be prouder.

We believe Candlelight is the right fit for our music and a label that completely respects our artistic integrity. We look forward to a longstanding relationship with them to take our music to the next level.
