Daemonicus

**Daemonicus** is a Swedish death metal force that’s been delivering raw, unrelenting soundscapes since their formation in 2001. Founded by guitarist Johan Berglund and vocalist/bassist Jörgen Sandström (known for his work with Grave and Entombed), the band leans into old-school death metal with pummeling riffs, doom-laden atmospheres, and themes dissecting anti-religion, existential dread, and societal rot. Their discography, including albums like *Host of Rotting Flesh* (2005) and *Deadwork* (2012), cemented their reputation for uncompromising brutality, while 2019’s *Eschaton* showcased a refreshed urgency, blending thrashy aggression with their signature bleakness. Though lineup shifts have occurred over the years, Daemonicus remains a cult favorite, celebrated for their loyalty to death metal’s primal roots and their knack for crafting music that feels like a cathartic exorcism of modern decay.
