The band originally formed in 1989 as a solo project by Ixithra as an outlet to express darkness through skilled and creative art.[2] With several side projects and pseudonyms, he has been known as Wicked Warlock Of Demonic Blasphemy and Lord Of The Sylvan Shadows. The music is regarded as both otherworldly and demonic.[3]
In 1992, Ixithra joined the USBM band Profanatica in the role of guitar player. He terminated the relationship shortly thereafter.[4] Ixithra soon revived Demoncy.
It was with the 1999 release of Joined In Darkness, that Demoncy was cemented in black metal history.[5][3] Regarded by many as the finest example of USBM ever produced [6] The band toured the US and Europe and were featured in several metal music festivals.[7]
Significance
Demoncy is credited as early practitioners of black metal in the United States, who did not imitate the popularized Early Norwegian black metal scene.[1]
Style and ideology
Demoncy is known for keeping away from the commercial masses, putting a focus on the mysteries of the occult and the theme of keeping the purity of darkness in the music's design.
Song lyrics are centered on occult and magical themes.
Not limiting themselves only to Satanism or similarly popular paganist thinking, the band are fiercely anti-collectivist. There is a focus on elements of atmospheric and ethereal horror, nihilism and individualism.[8]
