History & Biography Portland, Oregon's Demise was ironically formed in the autumn of 1988
by Dexter and Schultz who had been playing together since 1986. The
Endless Torment demo was recorded in 1989. The four songs on the
1990-recorded Inevitable Exit demo brought the band to the underground's
attention a year later. Armed with new guitarist Hanawa the band
released a 7" through the new label of Peardrop fanzine editor Laurent
called Devious Deception. The band was offered a contract for another
French label, Modern Primitive, for a full-length which the band
accepted. Unfortunately the label's owner Domino disappeared for some 18
months before getting back to the band asking for a new demo. A new
promo was recorded and dubbed Sadistic Summonig but never released.
Demise was history soon after.
