A feature on Demilich.Back in the ’90s, I tried to play other people’s riffs, and on the first demo, I kind of copied stuff. And that’s why it quickly switched from the demo to Nespithe within one and a half years, because I let myself in the music. It’s very hard for me to do anything else; it’s like, I cannot keep this simple or keep this straightforward, or according to the laws of music. I just have to do something wrong.
I’ve been thinking about that a lot: It’s about my brain. Especially now that one and a half years ago I got an ADHD diagnosis, and then, well, autism spectrum disorder—not a diagnosis, but it’s pretty clear.
I am all for Demilich finally getting their due. And Antti actually answers his emails and answers them honestly!
