Reptilian Death is a project in 2 parts. One is as a complete band playing straighforward death metal stuff.The other part is The Demonstealer solo doing studio recordings of the Spoofy Funny Kind with a tinge of death metal.Band/artist history
Reptilian Death came into existance in May 2001 as a solo project of the Demonstealer(Of Demonic
Resurrection fame).The project was meant to be a grindcore/death metal project.At the end of
May 2001 Reptilian Death released its 1st recording which was a collection of 5 songs called
"5 Easy Ways To Murder Someone" with each song representing a different method of murder.
The songs were mainly death metalish musically but contained the unusual element of humor
which gave the whole concept a sort of spoof feel.After this release the project took a back
seat until November 2001 which was when Reptilian Death turned from a solo project into a
full fledged band after Husain joined as the bassist and Jaivir joined as guitarist and The
Demonstealer took over drums and vocal duties.The band prepared itself with 2 new songs
"No Way To Die" and "The 2nd Coming Of Evil" and traveled to Bangalore City to play its 1st
live show at The National Law Schools event "Strawberry Fields". Sadly the show never happened
and Reptilian Death ended up doing an acoustic death metal set at Planet M due to distortion
not being allowed.The band returned to Bombay and did their 1st proper gig at Razzberry Rhino.
The bands high energy act and intensity got them a good response from people.The next stop
was IIT-Bombay where the band put up another good performance.From there the band recruited
Girish to add a 2nd guitarist to the band after which they played serveral shows including
RAIT-Horizons,Razz Rhino and Raag Divine where they bagged the best drummer and bassist prizes.
After RAIT 2003 the band more or less stopped playing live as the band members were busy with
other commitments.In July 2003 The Demonstealer deicided to continue the project solo once again
and followed up the earlier "5 Easy Ways To Murder Someone" with another concept song called
"Nursery Rhymes For Satans Children" as well as recorded the bands 5 originally composed songs
and releasing it as an album in August.Things ofcourse didnt go as planned and the album got
postponed and is all set to be released in November 2003.The album also features guest vocals
by Nitin(Moriticide) and Aditya(Exhumation) on the tracks "Abortion" and "Bathed In Blood"
respectively.The album was recorded at Demonic Studios and the artwork has been done by
Mephisto.The Demonstealer then bought the band back together for IIT's Livewire show with
Sunny(Epithap) replacing Jaivir on guitars and Nitin(Morticide) to handle the main vocal
duties.Have you performed in front of an audience?All over the place.Special momments were winning best drummer and bassist at this competition called Raag Divine and coming 2nd place.
